Spring Back Into the Garden with Honda

22September, 2008 - With recent mild spring weather conditions beckoning green thumbsback into the garden, the only dampener on what would be the perfect weekend outdoors is to find the old lawnmower hasn't survived the lengthy winter hibernation in the shed.

As Australia's leading four-stroke garden care manufacturer, Honda Power Equipment offers a complete range of fuel efficient four-stroke power equipment, providing performance and quality combined with low fuel consumption.

Honda's advanced four-stroke technology eliminates the mess and time it takes to mix two-stroke fuel offering superior efficiency, lower noise levels and reduced exhaust emissions, compared to two-stroke equipment.

For domestic users and gardening enthusiasts,the range begins with the Buffalo Buck which is available in either standard (HRU19R)or mulch and catch (HRU19D) models. The Honda Buffalo Buck models feature the powerful yet fuel efficient GCV160 engine with advanced four-stroke technology foreasy-starting and low noise and exhaust emissions.

Buffalo Buck models are light yet strong with a19" aluminium deck eliminating rust, and 200 mm sealed ball-bearing wheels for smooth and easy manoeuvrability. 

For smaller inner city lawns, courtyards oreven roof-top gardens, the electric HRE 370 provides the perfect solution –plugged into the wall, the lightweight 1.3 kW motor provides no emissions or exhaust fumes.

For rural properties or those featuring larger lawns, Honda's Buffalo Bull models are equipped with the larger GSV190 engine with cast-iron sleeve for even greater performance and longevity in tough and dusty conditions.

Available in either standard (HRU197) or mulch and catch (HRU197D), the Buffalo Bull is ideal for homeowners in rural areas with large blocks to maintain or for light duty commercial work.  In addition to the 19" deck models, a21" deck option (HRU217D) is also available, which helps reduce cutting time especially in open spaces.

Complementing the Buffalo lawnmower models is Honda's advanced four-stroke domestic brushcutter, featuring a 360 degree-inclinable engine for continuous power on difficult angles and slopes, making it well suited for useon undulating terrain.

The 25cc Generation II mini four-stroke UMS425 brushcutter has recently undergone a price slash making it the perfect choice for domestic garden enthusiasts who want to tidy up those grass areas where a lawn mower can't reach, such as around trees or along fence lines.

Featuring an easy-to-grip loop handle and bentshaft, the lightweight UMS425 is extremely manoeuvrable while the anti-vibration engine mount provides excellent operator comfort and reduces fatigue. Easy to use tap-and-go nylon line head is also standard.

In addition to the extensive lawnmower and brushcutter range available, Honda offers a world first with its four-stroke-powered hedgecutter and blower, enabling every aspect of the domestic garden to be in pristine shape for spring.

The Honda HHH25 Hedgecutter, powered by Honda's advanced 1.1 hp(0.81 kW), 360 degree inclinable GX25 mini four-stroke engine, offers precision trimming from its three way adjustable rear handle whilst the heavy duty doublesided blade allows for a 720 mm cutting length in both directions.

Also powered by Honda's mini four-stroke GX25 engine, the HHB25D Blower is extremely comfortable to use due to a vibration isolating handle with rubberized hand grip as well as offering the lower noise emissions associated with four-stroke power equipment.

The blower also features an anti-suction fan cover to significantly reduce the tendency of theuser's clothes to be drawn into the suction inlet during operation, maintaining the unit's impressive 70 m/sec wind velocity output.
