38527, 917.385270 specifications

The Craftsman 917.385270 and 917.38527 are robust riding lawn mowers designed to make lawn care easy and efficient for homeowners and landscaping professionals alike. These models are equipped with a host of features and technologies that enhance their performance, comfort, and durability.

One of the standout features is the powerful engine. Both models are equipped with a reliable Briggs & Stratton engine, known for its efficiency and longevity. With a displacement of around 19 horsepower, it offers enough power to handle a variety of mowing conditions, from flat lawns to hilly terrains. The engine is designed for easy starting and includes an automatic choke feature, reducing the hassle of manual adjustments.

The cutting deck is another highlight of the Craftsman 917.385270 and 917.38527. Featuring a 42-inch cutting width, these mowers can cover more ground with fewer passes, saving time during mowing sessions. The three-blade system provides an even cut and ensures that the grass is mulched finely, promoting a healthier lawn. Additionally, the height adjustment lever allows users to customize the cutting height easily, accommodating various grass types and seasonal growth cycles.

Comfort is key in any riding mower, and Craftsman has not overlooked this aspect. These models come with a spacious operator's seat that features armrests and a high back for enhanced support, reducing fatigue during longer mowing sessions. The control panel is user-friendly, featuring an ergonomic steering wheel and easy-to-reach controls, making operation intuitive even for novice users.

In terms of technology, the Craftsman 917.385270 and 917.38527 incorporate advanced safety features such as a seat safety switch that stops the blades when the operator leaves the seat. This ensures optimal safety while mowing, preventing accidents caused by unintended movements.

Durability is another characteristic that stands out. The steel frame construction ensures that the mower can withstand the rigors of regular use, whether in residential or commercial settings. Additionally, the heavy-duty tires provide excellent traction, contributing to better stability and control on uneven terrain.

In summary, the Craftsman 917.385270 and 917.38527 are exceptional riding mowers that blend power, efficiency, and comfort. With their advanced features, durable construction, and user-friendly design, they stand out as reliable tools for maintaining a beautiful and well-manicured lawn.
