Hi N1KKO,
I can't give you any advice regarding the 217 because I have not been up close and personal to one
Hi Norm, I did figure as much - you're very generous in sharing your knowledge so didn't think you were withholding on us. :-) As mentioned, they're not overly common as Honda made a plethora of confusing 'consumer' grade SP mowers - only the HRY216 being deemed commerical grade but folks have stated that the HRX has the better SP system, being that it's hydrostatic.
