Intuitive controls and operation, coupled with our Suspension Comfort System, deliver a premium ride and the cut quality meets even the most demanding lawn enthusiast’s exacting standards. |
EFI & ETC Commercial Series EngineElectronic fuel injection (EFI) and electronic throttle control (ETC) are automotive-like features that deliver consistent starting and smooth operation no matter the cutting conditions. Plus the Briggs & Stratton® Commercial Series Engine has patented five-step integrated cyclonic air management to protect it from debris for extended engine life. |
