These models combine powerful performance with user-friendly features, making them an excellent choice for small to medium-sized lawns.

One of the key features of the MC17542ST and its counterpart, the MC17542STA, is their robust 420cc engine, which provides ample power to tackle various types of grass and terrain. The engine is equipped with advanced technology that ensures reliable starting and efficient fuel consumption, contributing to reduced emissions and lower operational costs.

Another notable characteristic of these models is their zero-turn capability, making it easier to maneuver around obstacles such as trees, flower beds, and garden ornaments. This feature significantly reduces the time spent mowing, as operators can turn with precision and navigate tight spaces effortlessly.

Safety is paramount with the McCulloch MC17542ST and MC17542STA models. They come equipped with safety features such as blade brake systems that stop the blades almost instantly when the operator releases the control. This ensures peace of mind during operation and enhances overall user safety.

In conclusion, the McCulloch MC17542ST and MC17542STA mowers offer an impressive blend of power, efficiency, comfort, and safety.
