The intuitive controls are strategically placed, ensuring that operators can adjust their speed and direction smoothly while maintaining a comfortable grip.

Durability is a key characteristic of the Bolens 13B-325-401. The heavy-duty steel frame is designed to withstand the rigors of regular use, ensuring longevity. Additionally, the mower’s compact design allows for easy storage, even in tight spaces.

User comfort has not been overlooked. The mower offers a plush seat that is adjustable, providing support during longer mowing sessions.
