Hi Nick and Norm,

The problem for me with using a Y22 is that it's only 1 inch bigger than a SuperSwift Big Bob , I guess at this stage if you can
get the blades lower it's worth trying out the mower a few more times to see if you get used to cutting the grass with the H660 or decide that is
too difficult and go for something else.


I've heard Honda had problems with the Automatic Compression release on Honda HRX217 with the hydrostatic SP mowers and have heard they fixed the problem on later models.The fixed mowers had a green dot on the cardboard box.


I found some stepped blades here ,9mm step , 172mm length , 3mm thick but I don't remember what mower I took them off.

I'd prefer a side throw when cutting a lot of grass as it's easier than constantly stopping to empty a catcher.

I tried lots of self drive mowers here and ride on mowers and push mowers and the $50. quad bike with a tow mower
was the easiest on a hill.

There were a lot of different blades here https://www.jakmax.com.au/products/lawnmower/swingbackblades


Cheers
Max.
