A gardener’s best friend? Honda builds world’s fastest lawnmower

This could free up some time on the weekend. Honda, in conjunction with Top Gear magazine and racing outfit Team Dynamics, has built a high performance ride-on lawn mower capable of reaching speeds up to 130 mph.
And, yes, it can still cut the grass. The so-called Mean Mower started out as a production Honda HF2620 Lawn Tractor before the team replaced its stock 20 hp motor with the 109 hp 1,000 cc V-twin from a Honda VTR1000 Firestorm sport bike along with its six-speed transmission and reengineered the suspension to handle a set of ATV wheels and tires. A Scorpion exhaust system pumps up the volume to an ear-shattering 130 decibels, compared to about 106 db for a typical mower, while a Cobra racing seat was fitted to keep up with the bump in performance, now good enough to accelerate the grass assassin to 60 mph in four seconds. Of course, Honda being Honda, it retained and enhanced the vehicle’s primary functionality. Although the grass collection bag is mostly filled with a gas tank plus oil and water coolers, two electric motors were installed that spin a cutting cable up to 4,000 rpm. Unfortunately, this part only works below 15 mph, but that still twice as fast as the stock mower can do the job. Even more disappointing, however, is that the Mean Mower is a one-off project intended to highlight the breadth of Honda’s product offerings and promote its sporty heritage, according to the company, and not destined for Home Depot or your front lawn. Oh well, you can always hire the neighbour kid from next door.

  1. However, with the lighter nights being ushered in

    and some of this great summer weather we’ve seen over the Easter weekend, recent study by insurance company Aviva has highlighted a stark warning. While it will be necessary to insure you have proper ventilation to prevent any possible odours others have found that they can breath better and are generally calmer because of the increased oxygen emitted by your plants. Ensure you use the correct petrol to oil ratio and have some pre-mixed fuel ready made up rather than have to mix the fuel after each empty tank.

  2. I really like Honda because this brand is tested and many people are satisfied with its performance. They have different types of lawn mowers, depending which of them you are comfortable of using. We have one in our house and we just love having it around. Our grass is always cut and very well maintained.

  3. Thanks a lot to Honda Company to invented world’s fastest lawnmower and I hope this lawnmower will get huge response and very soon its another advanced will be invented. Thanks

  4. Maintaining your grass is very important so that your surrounding would look so clean and well maintained. Having your grasses well trimmed and cut is essential that is why having that Honda lawnmower is important. I have mine at home but, it's not like that on the picture.

  5. I test drove the Mazda3, Elantra and Veloster before buying the Civic and must say Mazda3 drove a LOT better than the civic. I ended up buying the civic because of the reliability and price – got a good deal on it. I do like the color, looks (awesome rims), dashboard (everybody comments on all these) and especially the backup camera. The acceleration and shifting (auto) feel weak and slow to me, so it's a boring but steady drive. I'm a little disappointed with the MPG as well, since on average I get 33MPG. They now use only synthetic oil which I believe extends the period of when you have to change oil (I just did my first change at over 8000miles).
