Built with durability and performance in mind, this machine is ideal for tackling a variety of mowing tasks, whether you have a small residential lawn or a more expansive grass area.

One of the standout features of the Craftsman 917.272068 is its powerful 24 HP engine, which provides ample power to handle tough mowing conditions.
