917.27113 specifications

The Craftsman 917.27113 is a riding lawn mower that has garnered attention for its robust features, user-friendly design, and performance efficiency. This model is particularly well-suited for homeowners with large yards, delivering strong cutting power and ease of use.

One of the standout features of the Craftsman 917.27113 is its powerful engine. Equipped with a reliable 17.5 HP Briggs & Stratton engine, this riding mower provides ample power for mowing through thick grass and uneven terrain. The engine’s design ensures consistent performance, while the automatic transmission allows for smooth and effortless acceleration, making it simple to navigate various landscapes.

The cutting deck is another significant aspect of the Craftsman 917.27113. It features a 42-inch cutting deck, making it ideal for mowing large areas efficiently. The cutting height can be adjusted to multiple positions, allowing users to customize their lawn maintenance according to the season or personal preference. The blade engagement system is easy to use, enabling quick activation of the blades without the hassle of manual adjustments.

In terms of comfort, the Craftsman 917.27113 was designed with the user in mind. It boasts a comfortable high-back seat that offers support during prolonged mowing sessions. The ergonomically designed steering wheel ensures that users can navigate effortlessly, even in tight corners. The spacious foot area adds to the overall comfort, allowing for a more relaxed mowing experience.

Another notable technology in this model is the mulching capability. With the optional mulch plug, users can convert the mower to recycle grass clippings back into the lawn, promoting healthier grass while reducing the need for bagging. This eco-friendly feature not only helps in maintaining a nutrient-rich lawn but also simplifies post-mowing clean-up.

Safety is a priority in the Craftsman 917.27113, with features like the blade brake that stops the blades when the operator leaves the seat. This ensures that users remain safe while operating the mower. The design also incorporates sturdy construction materials that enhance the mower’s durability, making it a worthwhile investment for long-term lawn care.

Overall, the Craftsman 917.27113 delivers a blend of power, comfort, and technology. Its robust performance, customizable cutting options, and user-friendly features make it an excellent choice for homeowners looking to keep their lawns in pristine condition.
