Third time mowing the same pattern with a Honda HRX and Lawn Stryper at 3.5". Double wide in the back and changed up the front to wavy but not photo worthy yet.

I like it. Bought it used from a friend with very little use prior to me. It's a HRX217VKA. Only issue besides regular maintenance was the belt was squealing so I had to replace that but I guess that's maintenance too. I tried a Toro super recycler and didn't care for the personal pace but I guess you get used to it.

Parts are pretty cheap for the Honda. Amazon sells a kit with oil, new blades, spark plug, oil and air filter. I always have blades sharpened ready to swap out a couple times a year.

Thanks! Honestly all I put down prior to the pictures was prodiamine and Lesco 24 0 11 at 0.5lbs/K N. I over seeded last fall and hit it hard with fertilizer so I'm sure that helped with spring green. Mowing at 3.5".

Wow, that is amazing. How many cuts is that to get that pattern? I was trying to follow how you did it, looks like you could do it in two passes over the whole thing, but not sure.
1st Cut is with the road
2nd cut is at a 45 angle
3rd cut ZIGZAG you follow the straight pass till the 1st 45

I did make a short video I need to load it to YT
