Continuing the with the brand new Honda Lawn Mower range is the HRU196 Buffalo Pro Lawnmower with blade brake technology. This mower is ideal for medium to large areas and features the larger GXV160 which has a cast iron cylinder bore making it more durable and longer lasting.
This engine is also equipped with a larger air filter to protect the engine and larger fuel tank for fewer fill-ups whilst mowing. And also a manual throttle control so you're in control of the revs all the time.
Like the other new models, the rear chute is completely open to improving catching ability in the wet and prevent it from jamming up. The newly designed base is much lighter and the new shape also helps to optimise mulching.
The mow safe technology is fitted with a blade brake which is more convenient than the engine brake equipped on lower models. Here the removal of your hands from the bar will shut the blades off but keep the engine running. Can mulch, rear discharge or catch! 4-year domestic warranty!

Features
| Mow Safe Blade Break | This is what separates this model from the other HRU196 buffalo pro as it features the blade break system rather than the engine break. This utilises a clutch which is much more convenient as releasing the handle only stops the blades from rotating but keeps the engine running, this means that you don't have to start the mower again after emptying the catcher or letting go of the handle in general. |
|---|
| Bigger and Better | Bigger engine, bigger fuel tank, bigger airfilter. The HRU196 Buffalo Pro is designed to give you that little bit extra in ever department. |
|---|
| Cast Iron Sleeve | This is a massive upside to going the bigger model. A cast iron cylinder sleeve is commercial grade engine as it does not wear as quick making this engine more durable and longer lasting. |
|---|
| Honda Powered | Honda has built a reputation on building engines which are reliable, durable and easy to start. This GCV160 is no different utilising their four stroke tech, automatic choke for easy operation and quiet noise levels to keep everyone happy. |
|---|
| Light Weight | The newly designed base is extremely lightweight compared to the older models which is an issue they wanted to address. This makes the mower and lot easier to operate to users of all backgrounds can easily push it around their property. Obviously not a light as the model down as it has a larger take etc but still lighter than the equivalent model in the old Honda range. |
|---|
| Open Back | The aluminium base means that it is a lot more durable and reliable than the steel ones on the market. As it is aluminium it is also rust free!!! |
|---|
| Open Back | Thank-god for this! The new Honda lawn mower range has gone away from the enclosed back to a completely open one. Consequently these mowers cut and catch wet grass just as good as they do dry with it not getting caught in the chute! |
|---|
| 3 in 1 Ability | With this Honda lawn mower you can catch the grass, mulch the grass with the rear plug insert or alternatively rear discharge the grass! Giving you all three options in one! |
