In addition to all-gear drive and the advanced handlebar system like that of the 718, the model 722 is the most popular of the Straight Axle tractors and features:

• More Horsepower: Powered by Honda’s GX240 engine, the 722 can accommodate both the same and larger versions of the attachments suitable for the 710 and 718. These include the 26” Tiller, 45”, 47” & 51" Sickle Bar Mowers, 28” Snow Thrower, and 40” Power Sweeper. Plus, the 722 can accommodate a wider range of attachments that include the Chipper/Shredder, Log Splitter, 40” Snow Blade, 36” Dozer Blade, and Utility Trailer.
• Larger Wheels: The larger diameter wheels and tires provide added traction, stability, and ground clearance when operating on uneven terrain.
• An Electric Start option: In life, there are long term investments and then there are long, long-term investments. BCS is the latter, and the convenience and ease of turning a key, rather than pulling a rope, might well be appreciated at some future time (if not right away). Honda’s electrical system is high quality and complete; the engine recharges the 12V battery as it runs. And the recoil starter is always present as a backup, if needed. Just remember: because it is a different engine, electric start cannot be added later to the standard, recoil start model.
