917.27242 specifications

The Craftsman 917.27242 is a high-performance riding lawn mower that delivers the power and precision needed for effective lawn maintenance. Designed for efficiency and ease of use, this model is ideal for homeowners with medium to large-sized lawns.

One of the standout features of the Craftsman 917.27242 is its robust 24 HP Kohler engine. This powerful engine ensures reliable starting and strong performance, making mowing tasks quicker and more efficient. Coupled with a hydrostatic transmission, the mower offers seamless speed adjustments without the need for shifting gears, allowing users to maneuver easily across various terrains.

The mower is equipped with a 42-inch cutting deck, which strikes a balance between size and maneuverability. This deck size is suitable for efficiently tackling both small and large areas while still being able to navigate tighter spaces like flower beds or around trees. The cutting height can be easily adjusted from 1.5 to 4 inches, enabling customization based on grass type and seasonal requirements.

In terms of technology, the Craftsman 917.27242 features an innovative, ergonomic design that enhances user comfort. The seat is adjustable, ensuring a relaxed riding position for operators of different heights. Additionally, the intuitive control panel simplifies operation, incorporating easily accessible controls for starting, cutting height adjustments, and more.

Safety is a priority in the Craftsman design. The mower includes features such as a blade brake that automatically engages when the operator leaves the seat, ensuring that the blades stop immediately when needed. This prevents accidents and adds a layer of security, especially when users need to dismount.

Moreover, the Craftsman 917.27242 is compatible with various attachments, making it a versatile choice. Beyond just mowing, attachments like baggers, mulch kits, and even snow plows can transform this machine for year-round use.

Overall, the Craftsman 917.27242 combines power, efficiency, and user-friendly features to provide an exceptional mowing experience. Suitable for both residential and light commercial use, it stands out in a competitive market, delivering reliability and high-quality performance that homeowners can depend on for maintaining their lawns.
