    Question:
    I am looking at purchasing either the HU800AWD or the HU725AWD push mower. Can you please explain to me why I should consider spending about $100 more for a lawn mower just because it has a Honda Engine? Are their any other difference between the mowers? BTW I have about an acre of grass to cut with small hills on both sides of my house. I primarily use a Husqvarna Fast Tractor to cut most of my yard, but I use the push mower to due cutting around obstacles and a hill behind my house. Also I do preform annual maintenance per manufactures recommendation so typically I do not have engine issues. I am replacing my current mower because the drive system is no longer working.

      I just joined because I am in the same boat Jim.

       

      Side by side comparisons they are the exact same except the engines. From what I read the Honda motor, the GCV190 is a 4.6HP engine and although they both are 190cc the Briggs motor is only 3.6HP.

      Oh, and the HU800AWD looks to be 3lbs lighter with the Honda engine. I'm torn myself... is the Honda engine that much better to justify a $100 jump?
