Designed for residential lawn care and landscaping tasks, these models are primarily known for their powerful engine, ease of use, and innovative technology that cater to both novice and experienced users.

The system enhances bagging capability by ensuring that more clippings are efficiently collected, keeping lawns tidy and reducing the need for additional clean-up.

Both models also feature a rear bagging attachment, making it easier to collect clippings and debris as you mow. This capability is particularly advantageous for those looking to maintain a neat and well-kept lawn without the mess that often accompanies traditional mowing.

Moreover, the user-friendly controls make these mowers easy to operate. With intuitive levers and simple starting mechanisms, even those who are new to lawn care can gain confidence quickly.
