The ergonomic steering wheel design provides an improved grip and reduces operator fatigue, enhancing overall comfort during operation.

In terms of safety, MTD has integrated a range of features across both models. The Rollover Protection Structure (ROPS) keeps operators safe in the event of uneven terrain, while the automatic blade stop ensures that the blades cease operation whenever the rider leaves the seat, preventing accidental injuries.
