The mower is powered by a Kohler CV740S engine. This vertical-shaft V-Twin unit features a displacement of 725 cc (44.24 cubic inches) and produces 27 horsepower (20.1 kW). The bore and stroke are measured at 3.27 by 2.60 inches. It utilizes an electric 12-volt starter system for reliable ignition.

Transmission and PTO

The Cobalt 27/61 is equipped with a Hydro-Gear PG-3/HGM-12 hydrostatic transmission, which allows for infinite forward and reverse speed control, facilitating precise maneuvering. The mid-mounted Power Take-Off (PTO) is independent and operated via an electric clutch, ensuring smooth and efficient engagement of the mower deck.

The machine has a wheelbase of 55 inches (139 cm) and an overall length of 81 inches (205 cm). With the two-post folding Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) in place, the total height is 70 inches (177 cm). The unit weighs 1,170 lbs (530 kg) and is supported by 13x5.00-6 front tires and 22x11.00-10 rear tires, both designed for lawn and turf applications.

Electrical System

The electrical system operates on 12 volts with a negative ground. It includes a battery rated at 340 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) and a charging system capable of delivering 16 amps, providing sufficient power for the electric clutch and standard operational requirements.

Conclusion

"The Simplicity Cobalt 27/61 is a specialized zero-turn mower suited for professional or large-scale residential lawn maintenance. Its combination of a 27-horsepower engine, hydrostatic transmission, and wide 61-inch deck makes it an efficient tool for operators requiring high productivity and maneuverability in open or complex grass areas."
