Honda makes world's fastest grass cutter

Honda's "Mean Mower" has set an average speed record of 187.6km/h on a test track near Spain.

Carmaker Honda is not content with bragging about the top speed of its sporty models.

The Japanese maker has also just set a speed record for the world's fastest lawnmower, a mean machine that exceeds open-highway speed limits.

Dubbed the "Mean Mower", the record-breaker is based on a standard Honda HF2620 garden tractor.

Out went the standard engine in favour of a tuned one-litre motor from the VTR Firestorm motorcycle, with 109 brake horsepower on tap.

For the record, the Honda mower was clocked at an average speed of 187.6 km/h in two runs over a 100-metre section of the test track near Tarragona in Spain.

The feat has found a place in the Guinness Book of Records.

Honda says the mower can trim a lawn, too, albeit at a maximum speed of 24 km/h.
