UPGRADE FOR POPULAR HONDA
Honda has introduced an upgraded version of its popular
and competitively priced HF2417 lawn tractor, said to be one of one of the best-finishing 40-inch mowers on the market. New features include speed control, LED daytime running lights, USB charger, phone holder, and a revised steering wheel and armrests.
“We’ve had record sales with that model to the extent that we’re out of stock until the second half of November and there are plenty of back orders in the system,” notes Bruce Wooding from HPENZ.

Bespoke ride-on accessories for efficient multi-tasking
The Yard Rack (photo below left) is a unique commercial-grade attachment that is ideal for jobs like
planting grass, clearing trails, cutting firewood, planting a garden, spreading mulch, pulling weeds and more.
As well as a universal mounting to attach to standard ride-ons, ZTRs and ATVs, it features multiple attachments to safely transport various garden and landscape tools and is designed so users can load up once, go to work and come back without having to make multiple trips.
Plus it can also be used in conjunction with a garden trailer and folds up when not in use.
Also from Cama is the Racks 360 mounting system (photo below right) which rotates 360° to allow tools of many shapes and sizes to be attached securely, regardless of a rollbar’s angle or configuration. This allows operators to keep their tools with them wherever they go so they can multi-task efficiently.
The system is designed to carry line trimmers, brushcutters and garden tools and it features carabiners to carry earmuffs and smaller tools. Hardware and basic installation tools are included.
