Mtd Products Inc 13A877BSA23 42 Inch Lawn Tractor

Product Description

The MTD PRODUCTS INC 13A877BSA23 is a 42-inch residential lawn tractor built around a Troy-Bilt 547cc single-cylinder engine. It is designed for homeowners and property owners who need a reliable, maneuverable machine for mowing mid-to-large turf areas. The tractor ships with a twin-blade cutting deck that delivers a 42-inch cut width, a 7-speed shift-on-the-go transmission for smooth ground speed changes without stopping, and a five-position deck height adjustment system that lets the operator dial in cut height quickly. At 485 pounds, the unit has the stability expected from a steel-frame residential tractor.

This lawn tractor is suited for residential and light estate use where a walk-behind mower is impractical. The steel front axle handles uneven terrain without flex. Front tires measure 15 inches x 6 inches and rear tires measure 20 inches x 8 inches with a square shoulder profile for better tracking and turf grip. The mid-back seat supports operator comfort on longer mowing sessions. A mulch kit and bagger are available as separate accessories, making the tractor adaptable for seasonal cleanup or clipping management needs.
