917.28746 specifications

The Craftsman 917.28746 is a well-regarded lawn tractor known for its reliability and performance, making it a preferred choice for homeowners looking to maintain their yards efficiently. One of the standout features of this model is its 18.5 horsepower engine, which is designed to provide ample power for a variety of mowing tasks. The engine is paired with a smooth hydrostatic transmission that allows for seamless speed adjustments and maneuverability, ensuring that users can navigate through different terrain with ease.

This lawn tractor sports a 42-inch cutting deck, ideal for medium to large-sized lawns. The deck is designed to offer a clean and even cut, featuring twin blades that enhance the quality of the mowing experience. Users have the option to adjust the cutting height, giving them control over how short or long they want their grass to be. This versatility in cutting heights accommodates different grass types and seasonal variations.

Ergonomics play a crucial role in the design of the Craftsman 917.28746. The tractor comes with an adjustable seat that provides comfort during extended mowing sessions, allowing users to fine-tune their riding position. Additionally, the placement of the steering wheel and controls is intuitive, making it easier for operators to engage and disengage functions such as the cutting deck and cruise control without unnecessary effort.

One of the notable technologies incorporated in the Craftsman 917.28746 is its Mulching Capability. This feature allows grass clippings to be finely chopped and redistributed back onto the lawn, fostering a natural fertilization process. Those looking for a clean-cut finish can easily switch to side discharge or bagging options based on their lawn care needs.

Furthermore, the robust construction of the Craftsman 917.28746 ensures longevity and durability.
