Verdict — which one to buy
Our take
Same Honda GCV engine, very different chassis. The SP46H is the value play — Honda longevity on a Mountfield body, used at half the price of the HRX. The HRX has the rear roller (stripes) and the variable-speed Versamow drive. If stripes don't matter, the SP46H is the smartest petrol mower in the UK.
