Service log

3 August 2016 Acquisition · Harvest receipt

Honda HRX217K4HZA walk-behind mower purchased for $849.00. The K4HZA trim is Honda's top HRX217 spec — Versamow Select-Drive with hydrostatic transmission, auto choke, and the Roto-Stop blade-stop control (blade stops without killing the engine). Original Honda MSRP for K4HZA at launch was ~$849-899, so this looks like at-MSRP retail purchase, likely from a Honda Power Equipment dealer rather than a big-box (big-boxes usually stock the lower HMA / HXA trims, not the HZA).
