Mowing the lawn, it would seem to be a pretty passe endeavor, but these past few weeks it was transformed into an act of craftsmanship. I would mow without a care in the world except for ensuring that my grass looked flawless, and that every blade was finely diced. What prompted this change of heart? Quite simply, I ponied up and bought the Honda HRR216k9vka, what many grass cutters consider the best lawn mower for the money. I didn’t want to buy a zero turn lawn mower because I still wanted the exercise and reel mowers still seem hokey to me.
The big day arrived when Amazon delivered my mower, and I was in awe. A sturdy machine built to withstand daily cutting (not that I would ever mow the lawn daily) and equipped with a steel cutting deck and 3 discharge methods. The first mow was euphoric, and from that day on I was hooked.
I became like a monk who strove to cut perfect lines and treated my machine like a prince. What I didn’t expect was that this would be the beginning of a whole new chapter in my life. Shortly after, my wife and I had our first child, and my days were far less predictable. The once sense of control I had was that weekly lawn mow, and I don’t think I would be that vigilant if it weren’t for my trusty Honda HRR-the best lawn mower for the money.
