Honda Izy HRG 416 SK self-propelled petrol lawn mower
The Honda Izy HRG 416 SK, identified by the full model reference HRG416C1 SKEH, is a compact self-propelled petrol lawn mower for small to medium gardens. Its 41cm cutting width makes it particularly useful around borders, trees, beds and narrower passages.
A 145cc Honda GCVx145 OHV four-stroke engine powers the mower, while the single-speed transmission drives it forward at 0.92m/s, approximately 3.3km/h. Grass is collected in a 42-litre bag, and six cutting positions provide a height range of 20–74mm.

Who is the Honda HRG 416 SK suitable for?
The HRG 416 SK is best suited to homeowners who want a relatively compact petrol mower but prefer the machine to drive itself forward. This can reduce pushing effort on longer mowing sessions and gentle inclines, although the mower must still be guided, turned and controlled by the operator.
Honda rates the model for small to medium lawns up to approximately 800m². Masseys particularly recommends it for smaller and moderately sized gardens, often around 300–500m², where the 41cm deck remains easy to manoeuvre but self-propelled assistance is still valuable.
For a very small, flat lawn where simplicity and purchase price matter more than powered drive, compare the Honda HRG 416 PK push mower.
Honda GCVx145 engine and Auto Choke
The HRG 416 SK uses Honda’s 145cc GCVx145 OHV four-stroke petrol engine. Its Auto Choke system manages the choke automatically during normal starting, removing the need for a separate manual choke control.
The mower uses recoil starting rather than electric start. Routine checks of the oil, air filter, spark plug and blade should be completed in accordance with Honda’s maintenance schedule.
Single-speed self-propelled drive
Engaging the drive moves the mower forward at a fixed 0.92m/s, equivalent to approximately 3.3km/h. The operator continues to steer the mower and releases the drive control when stopping, turning or manoeuvring around an obstacle.
The speed is not adjustable. Customers who need to slow the mower significantly around complex areas or change speed to suit different users should consider a Honda model with variable-speed control.
Cutting, collection and optional mulching
The 41cm pressed-steel deck offers a useful balance between coverage and manoeuvrability. Six cutting positions between 20mm and 74mm allow the mower to be adjusted for maintained grass or longer initial growth.
As supplied, the mower collects clippings in its 42-litre grass bag. Mulching is optional and requires an additional compatible Honda mulching kit purchased through a Honda dealer.
Why Masseys recommends the Honda HRG 416 SK
Masseys recommends the HRG 416 SK when a customer wants the manoeuvrability of a 41cm mower but would benefit from self-propelled assistance. It is particularly well suited to small and medium gardens where a wider 46cm machine may be cumbersome around beds or narrow spaces.
We would normally suggest the HRG 416 PK where a customer is comfortable pushing and wants the mechanically simpler option, an HRG 466 for a more open lawn where faster coverage matters, or a cordless Honda mower where lower noise and avoiding petrol-engine maintenance are priorities.
Masseys provides product advice, optional mower assembly, local delivery and ongoing garden machinery servicing and repairs. If you are unsure which model suits your garden, contact the Masseys team before ordering.
Important considerations
- The drive operates at one fixed speed rather than providing variable-speed control.
- The mower does not have a rear roller for producing pronounced lawn stripes.
- Mulching requires a separately purchased compatible Honda kit.
- It uses recoil starting rather than electric start.
- The mower weighs 30kg and must still be steered, turned, transported and stored safely.
- Although powered drive can help on gentle inclines, the mower should not be assumed suitable for every slope or wet surface.
- Routine petrol-engine maintenance is required.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Honda HRG 416 SK self-propelled?
Yes. It has a single-speed self-propelled transmission that drives the mower forward at 0.92m/s, approximately 3.3km/h.
What lawn size is the HRG 416 SK suitable for?
Honda rates the mower for small to medium lawns up to 800m². Masseys particularly recommends it where a compact 41cm deck and reduced pushing effort are more important than maximum mowing speed.
What is the difference between the HRG 416 SK and PK?
The SK is self-propelled, while the PK must be pushed by the operator. Their cutting width and basic engine specification are similar, but the SK weighs more because it includes the drive system.
Can the Honda HRG 416 SK mulch grass?
Yes, but only with an additional compatible Honda mulching kit purchased separately through a Honda dealer.
Does it create lawn stripes?
The HRG 416 SK does not have a rear roller, so it will not produce the same pronounced stripes as a dedicated roller mower.
Is the drive speed adjustable?
No. The mower operates at one fixed forward speed of 0.92m/s.
How much does the HRG 416 SK weigh?
Honda specifies a dry weight of 30kg.
Can Masseys assemble the mower?
Masseys offers an optional assembly service and can prepare the mower with oil and fuel. Check the current service charge and local delivery availability when ordering.
