79785, 247.797855 specifications

The Craftsman 247.797855 and 79785 models represent the pinnacle of innovation and functionality in outdoor power equipment. Designed for homeowners seeking dependable and efficient lawn maintenance, these mowers embody the principles of durability and performance, which Craftsman has become synonymous with over the years.

One of the standout features of these models is their powerful engine. Equipped with a robust 20 horsepower Briggs & Stratton engine, they deliver a reliable performance capable of handling diverse terrain and tough grass conditions. The automated starting system provides ease of use, allowing operators to get started without the hassle of manual pulls.

Both models boast a 46-inch cutting deck that ensures wider coverage with each pass, reducing mowing time significantly. The deck is constructed with durable materials, designed to withstand prolonged use while providing a clean, even cut for a professional-looking lawn.

The high-back seat is ergonomically designed to provide ample support during extended mowing sessions, and the presence of an easy-to-use dashboard allows users to monitor critical information such as fuel level and speed intuitively.

Moreover, both models include a mulching capability, enabling users to recycle grass clippings effectively. This not only reduces the need for bagging but also contributes nutrients back into the soil, benefitting the overall health of the lawn.

In summary, the Craftsman 247.797855 and 79785 models are a testament to reliability, power, and user-friendly design.
