917.27537 specifications

The Craftsman 917.27537 is a high-performance lawn mower that offers an array of features and technologies designed to provide a superior cutting experience. This riding mower is well-suited for homeowners with medium to large-sized lawns, boasting a robust engine and efficient cutting capabilities.

At the heart of the Craftsman 917.27537 is a powerful 19 horsepower Briggs & Stratton engine. This engine has been specifically engineered for reliability and durability, ensuring that it can handle the rigors of mowing while providing consistent performance. The automatic transmission allows for smooth operation, enabling users to easily navigate their lawn without the need for constant gear shifting.

One of the standout features of the Craftsman 917.27537 is its 42-inch cutting deck. This wide cutting path is designed to efficiently cover more ground in a single pass, reducing mowing time and providing a cleaner cut.

Additionally, the mower offers 6 height adjustment positions, allowing users to customize their grass cutting height to achieve the desired look of their lawn.

The mower is equipped with a built-in mulching capability, which is essential for maintaining a healthy lawn. By finely chopping the clippings and redistributing them back onto the lawn, it provides essential nutrients to the soil, promoting a lush and vibrant lawn. Furthermore, the side discharge feature helps to expel clippings efficiently, preventing clumps on the lawn.

User comfort is also a priority with the Craftsman 917.27537. The mower features an ergonomic seat and easy-to-reach controls, making it comfortable for extended mowing sessions. The inclusion of an easy-start ignition system means that users can get the mower up and running with minimal effort.

The Craftsman 917.27537 also emphasizes safety, with features like an automatic shut-off function that engages when the operator leaves the seat, ensuring peace of mind while mowing. The sturdy construction combined with modern engineering makes this model a reliable choice for home gardening enthusiasts looking for a high-quality lawn mower. Overall, the Craftsman 917.27537 is an exceptional option for anyone in search of efficiency, ease of use, and cutting technology.
