The Craftsman 917.27113 is a riding lawn mower that has garnered attention for its robust features, user-friendly design, and performance efficiency. This model is particularly well-suited for homeowners with large yards, delivering strong cutting power and ease of use.

One of the standout features of the Craftsman 917.27113 is its powerful engine. Equipped with a reliable 17.5 HP Briggs & Stratton engine, this riding mower provides ample power for mowing through thick grass and uneven terrain. The engine’s design ensures consistent performance, while the automatic transmission allows for smooth and effortless acceleration, making it simple to navigate various landscapes.

The cutting deck is another significant aspect of the Craftsman 917.27113. It features a 42-inch cutting deck, making it ideal for mowing large areas efficiently.

Another notable technology in this model is the mulching capability. With the optional mulch plug, users can convert the mower to recycle grass clippings back into the lawn, promoting healthier grass while reducing the need for bagging. This eco-friendly feature not only helps in maintaining a nutrient-rich lawn but also simplifies post-mowing clean-up.
