With its powerful engine, advanced cutting technologies, and ergonomic design, the LT1597 is engineered to tackle a variety of lawn maintenance challenges while delivering exceptional performance.

The engine's design promotes easy starting and minimal maintenance, allowing homeowners to focus more on lawn care and less on mowers.

One of the standout features of the LT1597 is its 97 cm (38-inch) cutting deck, which is optimized for achieving a precise cut over both flat and hilly landscapes.

The automatic transmission enhances the mowing experience further, providing a seamless transition between speeds and eliminating the need for manual gear shifting.
