Honda HRU216 Buffalo Pro

The HRU216M3 is tough, rugged and the ultimate time saver by getting the job done right – and doing it quickly. With a 21” rust-proof alloy deck, it is one of the biggest in Honda’s range.

Throw in a generous 70-litre Dacron catcher bag and you’ve got yourself a time – and money – saver. Compared to many competitor models, the size of these two features alone will ensure you spend less time actually pushing the mower and more time focusing on other aspects of growing your business.

A front bar is incorporated into the design, which protects the cutting deck and front axle from being damaged. Also convenient in lifting down and as a tie-down point for transportation, the front bar saves you the need for extra trips to the workshop, and the downtime you’d face with other mowers.

Another element of the HRU216M3 that makes it so contractor-friendly is its mulching capability. Simply slot the mulching plug into the mower chute and spend less time emptying the catcher bag. And when you’re saving time, that means you and your business are also saving money.

The HRU216M3 Buffalo Pro also integrates Honda’s Mow-Safe® Blade Braking system, which allows you to drive the mower over paths, driveways and dusty areas without having the blades throwing up dust.

By releasing the Blade Brake lever the blades will stop within three seconds but the engine will continue to run, keeping you – and anyone else around you – safe.

The HRU216M3 Buffalo Pro features a gutsy 5.5 horsepower-class engine with cast-iron bore in the form of a GXV160, perfect for Australia’s tough conditions. Part of the all-conquering GXV range, and drawing on three decades of GX engine technology, you’re in good hands.

Of course, like all Honda lawnmowers the HRU216M3 features the “first time every time” easy-start system. The pull cord is attached to the upper handles, so – unlike some competitor mowers – you don’t have to bend all the way over to start the mower.

And like all Honda engines, the GXV160 runs on regular unleaded petrol, so there’s no need for multiple fuel cans in the garage or mixing oil. Contractors across Australia know that the savings alone from using a Four-Stroke engine like the GXV160 are massive.

With its 3-speed gear box, struggling to mow hills is a thing of the past. Even in long grass, the different speed options allow you to simply cruise behind while the lawnmower does all the work. Why would you want to spend all day pushing a lawnmower when you could just let Honda’s technology do the work for you?

Of course, the HRU216M3 Buffalo Classic comes standard with an impressive 3-year Commercial Engine Warranty in addition to a 4-year Domestic Warranty, giving you complete peace of mind when purchasing your investment.
