Power Ratings: The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-05). Torque values are derived at 3060 RPM; horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM. The gross power curves can be viewed at www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM. Net power values are taken with exhaust and air cleaner installed whereas gross power values are collected without these attachments. Actual gross engine power will be higher than net engine power and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given the wide array of products on which engines are placed, the gas engine may not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment. This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the variety of engine components (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to-engine variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this Series engine.

MD2045FC specifications

The Murray MD2045FC is a highly regarded self-propelled lawn mower that combines power, efficiency, and user-friendly features, catering to both residential and professional landscapers. This walk-behind mower stands out due to its robust, lightweight design, ensuring ease of handling while delivering exceptional cutting performance.

One of the most remarkable features of the MD2045FC is its powerful 140cc OHV engine.

The air filter and oil filter enhance maintenance ease while ensuring long-lasting performance, making this mower an ideal choice for those looking for both durability and efficiency.

In terms of cutting performance, the MD2045FC features a 20-inch cutting deck, providing a wide swath that reduces mowing time significantly. The deck is constructed from a durable steel material, designed to withstand the wear and tear of regular lawn care. A notable aspect of its cutting capabilities is the adjustable cutting height feature, which allows users to choose from six different positions, ranging from 1 inch to 3.5 inches. This versatility ensures that the mower can handle various grass types and lawn conditions, accommodating individual user preferences.

Additionally, the Murray MD2045FC is equipped with a reliable self-propelled system, making it easier to navigate across uneven surfaces and inclines without excessive manual effort.

A special mention should be made of the convenient foldable handle design that promotes compact storage. This feature is especially beneficial for users with limited storage space, as it allows for easy transport and stowing away after use. The mower also comes with a mulching capability, enabling users to finely cut grass clippings that can naturally fertilize the lawn when left on the ground.

Overall, the Murray MD2045FC stands as a strong contender in the self-propelled mower market, delivering a perfect balance of power, user-friendly features, and versatility. With its reliable engine, adjustable cutting height, and convenient storage, this mower is designed to meet the needs of both novice and seasoned lawn care enthusiasts, ensuring a well-maintained lawn with minimal effort.
