Powerhouse Performance: The Briggs & Stratton Engine

At the heart of the Roper T322 beats a strong Briggs & Stratton 302437 engine.

Maneuvering the T322 is a breeze thanks to its Roper belt-driven gear transmission. Offering a practical setup of 6 forward gears and 2 reverse gears, this system provides the versatility needed to tackle various tasks at the right speed. Whether you're carefully navigating tight spots or cruising across open fields, the T322 offers precise control.

Built for the Task: Mechanical and Electrical Simplicity

The Roper T322 features a straightforward mechanical design with two-wheel drive and manual steering, making it incredibly intuitive to operate. Its open operator station provides excellent visibility and easy access, enhancing comfort during long working sessions. Electrically, it operates on a standard 12-volt system with a negative ground, ensuring compatibility and ease of maintenance.

Ready for Implements: The Roper Tri-Hitch

Adaptability is key, and the Roper T322 is ready for action with its Roper Tri-Hitch system. This versatile hitch allows you to easily connect a variety of implements, from mower decks to tillers and trailers, making the T322 a true multi-purpose garden tractor. The included 42/48-inch mower deck means you can get straight to work on your lawn.

Compact and Stable: Dimensions for Practicality

Designed for both stability and maneuverability, the T322 boasts a wheelbase of 43.375 inches (110 cm), a length of 65.125 inches (165 cm), and a width of 39.5 inches (100 cm). Its height stands at 35 inches (88 cm). Combined with its lawn/turf tires—16x5.50-8 at the front and 23x8.50-12 at the rear—the T322 offers a stable and gentle footprint on your lawn.
