Unpacking Honda lawn mower HRN216VKA

- I'm excited that in the first month of my lawn care business I saved enough money to upgrade my old and pathetic Murray (Walmart) lawnmower. However thanks to that old machine I had the chance to do multiple jobs in my first month. So far I'm really happy with its performance.
Thank you for watching!

Mine took the entire bottle. Supposed to check without screwing the dipstick in.
You right, like always I read the manual after everything. Lol
Lawn Southern Star I’m guilty of that also. Only knew because I watched videos on it. I’m currently deployed so I had to research a mower for my wife to get when my 17 year old toro started acting up.
Just bought one. They're shipped with a tiny bit of oil in them to prevent engine rust during shipping and retail storage. I put all 12 oz of the included oil in and it was proper level afterward.
This guy checked his oil wrong no need to thread the dipstick just insert and removal of dipstick will give you the correct reading.
@@SANCHEZFLA863 yup - Same with my ancient Craftsman with Briggs 650 series engine (made by Husqvarna for Sears)
I just bought the same Honda HRN216VKA, and it's great. It's very lightweight and easy to maneuver. The "thumb speed" control takes a bit to get used to, like anything new. I like that I can adjust the "max" speed with the tab under the thumb paddle.
yes, that is right. So far I love it.
HnyCrispr , these weigh 84 pounds with gas and oil, so I wouldn't call them light. Maybe what you mean is they seem light, being self-propelled?
thanks for reviewing this model HRN216VKA..i'm buying this today at Lowe's, price went up to $549.00. So sad Lowes and Home Depot stop selling the HRX 217 model, i heard it was the Mercedes (top of the line) of all Lawn mowers. Oh well, I will take the best available lawn mower out there, as longs as its Honda model.
runs over garden hose.....Brilliant!!
Oh, and I see you mentioned your Murray mower. I'll say this, I had a basic 21" that was a little over $100 on sale at walmart 5 years ago when we lived in a townhouse. Yes it was a gas hog and it burned oil more than it should, but it never failed me. I even had it for a short time when we bought our house with a half acre and it still ran fine. Sold it and bought my current Toro, and it's very unreliable, stalls out on not flat or smooth ground and I've done everything I can to resolve the issue and it still does it. Sometimes those old less than worthy but reliable mowers are great for a backup.
Absolutely! I still have my old one for Mr Justin Case :)
Mine came out of the box with oil. Took about a third of the bottle to bring it to the top of the fill level without screwing the dipstick in.
When checking oil in a Honda mower do not screw the dip stick in to check oil. Also after several hours of use change the oil again for motor break in. Hopefully you did not damage your motor for not reading the instructions.
Well done dude no chitter chatter just get r done.
Muy buen video!. Es emocionante desempacar una máquina así!. Es muy buena podadora. Lo bonito de ésto es, cuando se trata de algo que se logró adquirir con esfuerzo y trabajo. Es una sensación muy satisfactoria. Muchas felicidades mi amigo!. Saludos!. 👍
Tiene toda la razón. No hay como invertir con dinero bien ganado. Saludos!
Mower may have been returned. That's why it had oil in it.
I think they sell returned items at a discounted price or by pallets as second-hand items for liquidation auctions.
I'm pretty sure all mowers are started in the factory for qc purposes, hence some oil will be seen.
I had the same thing! Mine came with oil in it I had to add a little more to make it full but it definitely had oil in it I’m glad I didn’t add the whole bottle! Amazing lawn mower though
That assembly was painful to watch. I do so enjoy the entertainment aspect of people who spend the money to buy something but not the time to read their owners manual on proper assembly/operation of it. I wish you the best.
When they say "without oil" that just means they didn't add the amount needed to operate it safely. When assembling an engine, whether small or automotive, you have to use some oil when putting everything together, you can't just build an engine completely dry. The white smoke is most likely just burning off what was already in there. Nothing to worry about. Every new mower I've used for the first time did this.
It did not happen to me. He did not add any oil.
Thank you. I thought this was obvious and couldn’t believe some of the comments here. Ofcourse it has some oil just not the required amount! Ungh
I found out that the Honda warranty doesn’t cover the carburetor 😟
How about the same type of Honda lawn mower and I am a lady that is 60 years old and it works fine you bought a commercial lawn mower that will run all day long take care of it get to keep the oil change the filter and keep your blades sharp it will run
Yes, I keep changing the oil regularly and I clean the air filter every day, I bought a new one recently. I bought a new set of blades also, so I can replace them easily, so when I have some time I can sharp the other ones. Thanks!
That motor didn’t sound good at all. I think it may have gotten damaged running it with low oil. Hope it’s ok. Buying one tomorrow. Thanks for the review👍👍
Want to hear something really funny? I just gave up trying to find the mulching plug for my hrn216 after a year... you know.. when I realized the lever on the side was the mulch cover. Should have read the instructions. Just you try ordering one. lol
Cool
Thanks man!
I enjoyed this video! It reminded me of The Benny Hill Show! You just need a little bald guy to slap on the back of the head and tge music! 😜👍💯
yeah I remember that show. I can't believe I watched it when I was 6 with my older brother who was 10. Crazy times!
I made the mistake of putting the entire bottle of oil in without checking and it was too much. I had to remove some… Do not put the entire bottle in, check the level first
Mr lawn southern star, it would appear you were checking the oil dip stick incorrectly. You were in fact supposed check oil with out spinning dip tube stick, rather just letting it lie on the threaded top as indicated by manufactuer. Just saying sir Or Mr lawn star as you would prefer
Hey! How much gas do we put in?
can you push it without using the self-propelled thing?
yes, it rolls well on it's own. They make a non- self propelled model that looks exactly like this one but I never see it on the shelves
When checking the oil do not screw the dipstick in
Is there any difference? or is it giving you the same level?
Lawn Southern Star you are supposed to screw in the dipstick so you get a more accurate reading level
@@JB-dj1vn No you are not. With this mower you take out dipstick, wipe it clean, then just put back in without screwing in and check your level. It's weird, never seen anyone but Honda do this.
@@ZenithClarity that surprised me, too.
Manuel says don’t screw it in to check oil levels.
~How do you like the HONDA so far? Any problems?
I like it very much. Beautiful little monster. I had two problems, but nothing with its performance. I noticed that after two months was not cutting like before, but you know, I forgot that I had to do its maintenance, totally my fault, so I changed the oil and blades, now it's like brand new.
@@lawnsouthernstar3306 Nice!!! , was it difficult replacing / sharpening the double blades? Vs single blade????
@@jonhawkins2374 I just get the double blades from HD, around $25, and the replacement was easy, it took me like 5 minutes.
im getting 1 or 2 hondas shaft driven mowers
After I unpacked mine, it started up on the first pull. No oil in it had to add it.
@5:01, did you fill up engine oil before you start it?
Put the whole bottle
Your front left wheel is not touching the ground. Look closer at 2:25. I bought the same one and I have the same issue. My front left wheel just taps or spins.
I noticed that, but I thought it was the garage floor. I'll check it out tomorrow.
@@lawnsouthernstar3306 , you'd have to have a really bad garage floor if it's that uneven!
What about the choke for the gas do you turn it all the way forward while starting and mowing and then turn it off when your finished ?
While I was unpacking it I didn't move anything over there, It was coming with the valve open. I use this little beast every day, so I don't turn it off ever. However, when I changed the blades I turned it off just for precaution.
Lawn Southern Star thanks for the reply, but you cut grass everyday ?
@@hawaiiboy2826 Yeap, not "every single day", but 5 o 6 days a week. I use this mower for my lawn care business.
trying to decided between HRN honda and toro recycler..and advice or points?
Hey. I have not tried Toro recycler before, just Honda mowers. I'm sorry I can't help with that. Perhaps somebody else has some experience with that equipment. Good luck!
Lawn Southern Star I appreciate you at least replying 👍🏽
The newer Toro mowers are crap. I have the 22" recycler with the B&S motor and it's a stall-fest, if you're not cutting on a flat level surface the mower will start to stall out because of the crap carburetor that B&S uses now. That and the FWD sucks on it. I'm actually cleaning it up so I can sell it, and going to buy a Honda early next week.
Y’all aren’t smart if you think it comes with oil already in it 🤣🤣
They all come with oil because the engines have to be tested, but they are drained. I don't think people get that they don't have enough oil to safely operate.
Can I replace the plastic tires with rubber ones
I have a friend with a similar honda mower and he did just that.
JDH 9 , you can prolly use wheels from a HRX as an upgrade.
Dude they manufactured the motor. They should know if it really does or does not need the whole bottle of oil! Thats like you self diagnosing yourself when the doctor already told you what was wrong with you.
I don't know what to do with your comment.
@@lawnsouthernstar3306 ok?
@@changito2080 ok then
What was the problem. I thought you added whatever they sent you , why you poured it out.
Did you see the white smoke? that is because it was overfilled. The instruction says "entire bottle", but no, the engine is coming with oil already, so you have to pour just a little bit of oil to reach the right level.
@@lawnsouthernstar3306 i didn't know, i want to buy one of them hrn216 , it helped me to know some about it.
Tks for the video.
Mine also came with a little bit of oil from factory. I had to add a little bit at a time while checking dipstick. Besides that this mower is awesome!
@@mansourramzey7711 So far I love this little machine. I'm very happy that I bought it.
@@goodienyyyfz450r8 That is right! It's awesome!
why did you not just Lyft it outside the box
My back is not strong enough for that, even the instructions recommended 2 people to lift it up from the box.
Price
This dude just pulled out a saw to cut cardboard with. Maybe try a box cutter? It would be no mess like you made with the saw. Oh, and no funnel hen adding the oil. Also, quit screwing in the dipstick when checking the oil.
Eyes on your own bobber Frank.
Relax dude
@@johnschmid2316 Thanks Dad.
