Same Engine? The $150 Predator vs the $400 Honda — The Truth

Predator 212 vs Honda GX200 — why Harbor Freight's $150 clone bolts directly onto a $400 Honda mount. Farmer Walt Kessler compares the 6.5HP 212cc engines on price, bolt pattern, parts interchange, oil capacity and air filtration, and runs through the six farm jobs they share — mower repower, log splitter, pressure washer, water pump, air compressor and generator. He shows when the Predator makes sense and when to pay for the Honda. 00:00 - Introduction 01:51 — Eric Smith (Harbor Freight founder) 06:19 — Same Fit, Different Life 11:12 — Soichiro Honda (Honda Motor founder) 16:20 — Craig Hoffman (Harbor Freight spokesman)
