Furthermore, the mower is equipped with an oversized lap bar, making it simple to control steering and braking.

Safety features are also a priority with this model. It comes with a safety switch that automatically shuts off the mower if the operator leaves the seat, preventing accidents. The rear engine placement enhances visibility while mowing, ensuring that users can safely navigate their landscapes.
