917.27306 specifications

The Craftsman 917.27306 is a standout lawn mower known for its reliability, performance, and advanced features. This gas-powered, walk-behind mower is designed for homeowners who demand quality and efficiency in their lawn care routine.

One of the main features of the Craftsman 917.27306 is its powerful 163cc engine. This reliable engine provides adequate cutting power for various grass types, ensuring a clean and even cut. The mower's performance is bolstered by a self-propelling mechanism that makes it easier to maneuver across different terrains, particularly on slopes and uneven surfaces. This feature significantly reduces user fatigue, allowing for a more enjoyable mowing experience.

The Craftsman 917.27306 is equipped with a 21-inch cutting deck, which strikes a balance between maneuverability and cutting width. This size makes it suitable for medium to large yards, enabling homeowners to cover ground quickly while still being able to navigate tight spaces with ease. Additionally, the cutting deck has a height adjustment feature, allowing users to customize their mowing height. This takes into account different grass types and desired lawn aesthetics.

The mower also incorporates advanced mulching technology, which finely chops grass clippings and returns them to the lawn as a natural fertilizer. This not only nourishes the grass but also eliminates the need for bagging clippings, promoting a healthier lawn ecosystem. Furthermore, the Craftsman 917.27306 includes a rear bagging option for those who prefer a clean-cut lawn or want to collect clippings for disposal.

Another notable characteristic is the ergonomic handle design, which is adjustable to suit different user heights. This thoughtful feature ensures comfort during operation, reducing strain and making the mowing process less labor-intensive.

Safety is a priority with the Craftsman 917.27306, as it is designed with a blade brake system that halts the blades when the user releases the handle. This provides peace of mind, especially for families with children or pets.

In summary, the Craftsman 917.27306 is a reliable and feature-rich lawn mower that caters to the needs of homeowners. Its powerful engine, self-propelling design, adjustable cutting height, and efficient mulching system make it an ideal choice for maintaining a beautiful lawn with minimal effort.
