Description

Overview
The Honda HRX217VKA (K6 Series) represents the absolute peak of residential mowing technology. Built around the revolutionary Nexite® cutting deck, this mower is designed to be indestructible—it won’t dent, rust, or corrode over time. Under the hood, the high-capacity GCV200 engine provides best-in-class power, ensuring that even the tallest, wettest grass is managed with ease.
This model features the highly acclaimed Select Drive™ system, allowing you to “dial in” your preferred speed and lock it in for a consistent, comfortable pace. Whether you are finely mulching or packing the massive 2.5-bushel bag to its limit, the HRX217VKA delivers a manicured, golf-course finish that other residential mowers simply cannot match.

The HRX Advantage
The HRX217VKA is the mower you buy when you want the last mower you’ll ever need. The Nexite® deck is the star here; unlike steel decks that eventually thin out or aluminum decks that can crack, Nexite® absorbs impacts and maintains its structural integrity forever. Combined with the Versamow System, you have the flexibility to mulch a little and bag a little simultaneously, which is perfect for transitioning between seasons.
