Hi Tom, Thank you for doing a review of our HYM460SP Glad to see you are happy with the mower. We will use the feedback to continue to improve the machines, hope you have many years of happy mowing! Ryan Hyundai power products
Jesus! I have been using my HYM460SP for 2 years and a month. I never noticed the wash port until I watched this video and I ran to my garage. There it is🤣
Thank you, Tom, for this video... I found it really helpful. Luckily I didn't need to adjust the cables... I'd probably have made a pig's ear of that! I've used it for the first time today since getting it last week... what amazed me was how powerful that drive is... nearly took me off my feet at first. Well, not quite, but the previous mower wasn't one with a drive on it so I didn't expect it. I'll need to adjust the height... a bit too long for the front lawn and a bit too short for the back lawn and it's a very hot day at the moment, so I'll water it tonight. Anyway, many, many thanks once again... it's guys like you who give other folk confidence to do stuff like this. I'd not have managed with the instructions as printed.
Hi Tom. the reason for the Two holes at the bottom of the lower handles is for height adjustment of the handles . you can swap to the other holes with the bolts to adjust the handle height up and down . Nice video thanks for sharing Ade.
First bought this Machine i Loved it. Such a healthy mower and cuts soo well. After about 5 uses i had nothing but trouble with it and couldn't return it because id had it for a few months. Good Luck everyone!
Very good and thorough un-boxing and initial review. I like that it has a cleaning port will be interesting to see how that works over time especially if you wait a couple of cuts before the next wash. Looks like an awesome mower, would love something like this as our electric one struggles with the cut if the grass has been left uncut for a bit to long. However as our garden is tiny i think it would probably be a bit excessive 😂 Good video to watch might look into the smaller model.
On this…I just refuelled; tank volume is approx 1 litre. I measured a litre and it comes almost to the top. I’m roughly tracking how much I’m using it so can provide some idea of how long that lasts once I’ve mowed through all the fuel :)
Hi - still doing fine. Used it up to 3 times a week in the summer. Cleaned the underside fairly regularly, but done no other maintenance apart from blade sharpening. Oil levels haven't needing topping up. Still starts first pull, no complaints.
@@kevinbaird7277 Yeah, i saw in this video there was still quite a bit of grass underneath. What do you think of this lawnmower? im thinking of buying it but unsure about hyundai brand
@@enterthematrix11 good machine, I have this model but next size up, a tad heavy as was alluded too in the video, has drive and this adds weight, solid machine though, I brush it underneath when dry, still looks brand new after 2 years use.
I think you might have strapped the cables onto the handlebars the wrong way around. They should be on the outside of the bars instead of the inside. The cables scrape against the metal of the bars when positioned the way you have them.
Yes. Since that recording used it multiple times a week until November time, left it over winter, fired right up a few weeks ago, always starts first time after a few pushes of the primer (the red button in the video). No maintenance or anything other than topping up with petrol. 👍
Yes. Not walk with it but you can turn the hose on, then start it up and the blades with throw the water all around underneath and clean it a lot better than when it’s off. I do it for maybe 30 seconds after every now and it definitely stops the grass building up
Oh no, sorry! Basically, when the plug is in you can use the mower without the bag and it will chop the grass up into really small pieces so they just sort of disappear into the grass, meaning less to dispose of. It doesn’t leave loads of uncut grass on the lawn (like if you use a regular mower without the bag), but if the grass is really long then it does leave some mess. I use it loads. There are some benefits to the grass as well because all the water and nutrients go back into the soil. If you think a video just talking about it and showing it in action, let me know, happy to do one!
Trying to get my Hyundai lawn mower going out of the box today was completely failing me. Your video helped immensely. Thanks man

Hi Ryan , fancy seeing you here,
Jesus! I have been using my HYM460SP for 2 years and a month. I never noticed the wash port until I watched this video and I ran to my garage. There it is🤣
“Perhaps I will pore more carefully...without the funnel” 😂 Thanks for the video, really helpful.

Ahhh, of course! Thanks for the tip!
Excellent explanation, I was finding the instructions confusing, so thank you very much really appreciated

Was there a long break in time after about 5 uses? Were you using cheap petrol?
Great video. Very helpful. Even though my Hyundai SKU No. 1168768 is slightly different, your video was of great help to me. Thanks for putting it up.

Great video Tom. Have you assessed the running cost? How often do you re- fuel and what is the tank volume? Thank you.
oooh, great questions. I don't know... but give me a few weeks of running and measuring and do a follow up video :)

@@thoughtstuff thanks Tom good to know. Keep me posted that will be useful to know about 👍
Nice review Tom, just ordered mine. You're the first person I've ever seen wheel spin a mower! 18:33 😁
Hi, Great review. I'm interested in buying this lawnmower. Do you know why the silver spanner was included in the box? Thanks.
No! It doesn’t seem to fit the nut to remove the blade so I’m not sure. I’ll have another look this weekend and see if I can figure it out.
Spark plug maybe
Can we have an update?
Great vid, have a thumbs up - more likely to buy this now.
There are cheeper models of this mower. The HYM400 is only £170 and much lighter too
@@rachaeldavie4215 thanks for the reply Rachael, its thisnparticular model i'm after due to the cut radii and the basket capacity.
@@ChiefCandyman no worries. Happy mowing :)
Hi, is there a video how to check the carbereta please? Cut the grass twice and now it starts & cuts out?
Fixed now, new petrol, cleaned air filter so didn’t need to check carberta
Thank you for this. I found it really useful.
Hello I'm looking to buy this mower to use in a garden maintenance business. Was just wondering how is it holding up to this day?
Hi - still doing fine. Used it up to 3 times a week in the summer. Cleaned the underside fairly regularly, but done no other maintenance apart from blade sharpening. Oil levels haven't needing topping up. Still starts first pull, no complaints.
Small tip on great video, the cleaning process should be carried out with the engine running, couple of minutes and it will be immaculate underneath.
How many minutes exactly?
@@enterthematrix11 couple of minutes with hose attached and the engine on, immaculate.
@@kevinbaird7277 Yeah, i saw in this video there was still quite a bit of grass underneath. What do you think of this lawnmower? im thinking of buying it but unsure about hyundai brand

Thank you so much for this video... I (my teenager) can finally cut the grass
What cc is that ?
I think you might have strapped the cables onto the handlebars the wrong way around. They should be on the outside of the bars instead of the inside. The cables scrape against the metal of the bars when positioned the way you have them.
Thanks, that helped a lot.
It is a very nice machine. Has it been reliable?
Yes. Since that recording used it multiple times a week until November time, left it over winter, fired right up a few weeks ago, always starts first time after a few pushes of the primer (the red button in the video). No maintenance or anything other than topping up with petrol. 👍
Are you meant to turn it on with the hose pipe in?
Yes. Not walk with it but you can turn the hose on, then start it up and the blades with throw the water all around underneath and clean it a lot better than when it’s off. I do it for maybe 30 seconds after every now and it definitely stops the grass building up
really helpful. Thanks...
I watched this because I don’t understand how the mulching plug works and you skipped right over it !
Oh no, sorry! Basically, when the plug is in you can use the mower without the bag and it will chop the grass up into really small pieces so they just sort of disappear into the grass, meaning less to dispose of. It doesn’t leave loads of uncut grass on the lawn (like if you use a regular mower without the bag), but if the grass is really long then it does leave some mess. I use it loads.

@@thoughtstuff it’s ok thank you. I watched others too. But you did just clear up why we mulch in the first place lol.
Assemble
The HYM400 is much lighter and cheeper. Easier to build, and no need for self propelled. In my opinion :)
Get a Honda lawn mower instead of a hyundai lawn mower it is a little bit better but Hyundai is still ok👍
These are just as good as Honda, Korea is not China...
👍
Its all about when your mower hits V-Tec 🤣🤣
