917.27623 specifications

The Craftsman 917.27623 is a versatile and robust lawn tractor designed to make lawn maintenance efficient and enjoyable. With its user-friendly features and advanced technologies, this machine enhances the mowing experience for homeowners and lawn care enthusiasts alike.

One of the standout features of the Craftsman 917.27623 is its powerful 24-horsepower Briggs & Stratton engine. This reliable engine provides ample power, facilitating smooth operation even during challenging mowing conditions. The engine is paired with a smooth hydrostatic transmission, which allows for effortless speed adjustments and greater control, making it easy to navigate around tight corners and obstacles in the yard.

The mower is equipped with a generous 46-inch cutting deck. This size strikes an ideal balance between maneuverability and cutting efficiency, allowing users to tackle medium to large yards in less time. The deck also features a three-blade system, ensuring that grass is cut evenly and cleanly, promoting overall lawn health. Moreover, the cutting height can be easily adjusted with a simple lever, offering users the flexibility to maintain their lawns at different heights based on personal preference and seasonal needs.

In terms of durability, the Craftsman 917.27623 boasts a robust steel frame that can withstand the rigors of regular lawn maintenance. The materials used in its construction are designed to resist rust and corrosion, enhancing the lifespan of the mower.

Additionally, the dual-lever steering provides enhanced maneuverability, making it easy to steer the mower in tight spaces or around landscaping features.

Another significant technology integrated into this mower is its mulching capability. By utilizing the optional mulching kit, users can finely chop grass clippings, allowing them to decompose and return nutrients to the lawn. This promotes a healthier lawn and reduces the need for additional fertilization.

Overall, the Craftsman 917.27623 stands out for its powerful performance, user-friendly features, and durability.
