917.27077 specifications

The Craftsman 917.27077 is a versatile and powerful garden tractor designed for homeowners who seek performance, reliability, and ease of use in their lawn care equipment. Engineered with a robust build and advanced technologies, it caters to a wide range of outdoor tasks, from mowing to hauling.

One of the standout features of the Craftsman 917.27077 is its 24-horsepower Kohler engine. This powerful engine delivers the necessary torque for efficient cutting and handling of various terrains, making it suitable for both flat lawns and hilly landscapes. The reliable engine is known for its longevity and low maintenance requirements, ensuring that homeowners can rely on it for many seasons.

Another significant aspect of the 917.27077 is its 42-inch cutting deck.

Equipped with cutting height adjustments, the deck can be set to different positions, providing flexibility for achieving the desired grass height.

Another noteworthy feature is the built-in mulching capability. This technology allows for the grass clippings to be finely chopped and returned to the lawn as natural fertilizer, promoting a healthier grass ecosystem. This not only saves time but also reduces waste, making it an environmentally friendly choice.

Overall, the Craftsman 917.27077 exemplifies a well-rounded garden tractor that combines power, comfort, and innovative technology.
