Re: Honda HRX 217 Suction issue
https://s1.postimg.cc/8u5tlkp9jf/hqdefault.jpg These are the two holes in question, towards the bottom right of the picture. The spring is currently in the first, lower rpm hole, second hole will bump it up a couple hundred RPMs, but seiyafan is right, you should have a tach to know where you're at...

Re: Honda HRX 217 Suction issue
So... I bought a used Toro SR4 (Super Recycler) to compare a few weeks ago. Definitely more suction while mulching, super noticeable now that there's some leaves on my lawn (it will suck up leaves from a couple inches away) and the cut quality is better. It cuts the grass blades more cleanly, possib...

Re: Honda HRX 217 Suction issue
krusej23 - what are you using now and how does it compare? I just complained (again) to Honda, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm definitely starting to scope out the best looking lawns in the neighborhood for cut quality to see what I should go with next.

Re: Honda HRX 217 Suction issue
Just to chime in here, I own a Honda HRX217 (pretty new, purchased fall 2016) and the cut quality while mulching is pretty mediocre. It's a fantastic machine that starts up great, handles wondefully, plenty of power, mulches incredibly fine and leaves almost no visible clippings, but it always leave...

Re: mkefer Soil Test 2017
How about frequency (how often to apply?) Every 60 days for the micros, curious how often for the fertilizer.
Thanks again
Thanks again

Re: mkefer Soil Test 2017
No irrigation, how often should I apply assuming the weather's not too hot?

Re: mkefer Soil Test 2017
I've sourced some 10-10-10, applications rates and frequencies would be appreciated. I'm guessing 3/4 - 1 pound N (and P and K since it's equal) per K? Curious if I should be worried about temperatures for this application (or the micros), it's been in the 90s every day here lately. We have a limest...

mkefer Soil Test 2017
I apologize in advance, this test was done at 6" before I knew to do 3-4". I'm in Northeast Indiana, lawn is about 7500 square feet of KBG/TTTF/Rye standard cool season mix. My lawn has been in fairly poor shape until last fall when I aerated/overseeded/fertilized with starter & milorganite. It was ...
