Introduction
Craftsman T260 Lawn Tractor
The Craftsman T260 is a lawn tractor produced by MTD between 2019 and 2021. Designed for residential turf maintenance, this machine was manufactured in Martin, Tennessee, and reflects the standard configuration for mid-range lawn care equipment of that period.
Engine and Powertrain
The tractor is powered by a 23 hp (17.2 kW) Kohler V-Twin gasoline engine. This 725 cc, air-cooled, vertical-shaft unit utilizes a 12-volt electric starter. Power is delivered through a Tuff Torq K46 belt-driven hydrostatic transmission, which allows for infinite forward and reverse speed adjustments without the need for manual gear shifting.
Mowing and PTO Systems
The T260 is equipped with a 50-inch mower deck designed for wide-area cutting. It features an independent mid-PTO system with an electric clutch, allowing the operator to engage or disengage the mower deck through a simple electrical switch.

The machine operates on a two-wheel drive system with manual steering. It features an open operator station for accessibility. The unit weighs 630 lbs (285 kg) and is fitted with turf-specific tires, measuring 15x6-6 at the front and 20x8-8 at the rear, providing the necessary traction for standard lawn environments.
Conclusion
The Craftsman T260 serves as a reliable entry-to-mid-level lawn tractor, suitable for homeowners requiring a capable machine for standard mowing tasks. Its combination of a hydrostatic transmission and a 50-inch deck offers efficiency for routine property maintenance.
