Introduction
Simplicity Regent 21/42 Lawn Tractor
The Simplicity Regent 21/42 is a lawn tractor manufactured by Simplicity, a division of Briggs & Stratton, introduced in 2012. It is designed for residential lawn maintenance, balancing mechanical simplicity with hydrostatic performance.
Engine and Powertrain
The machine is powered by a 21 horsepower (15.7 kW) Briggs & Stratton single-cylinder, air-cooled gasoline engine. It utilizes a vertical-shaft configuration and operates at a rated speed of 3600 RPM. The engine is equipped with a 12-volt electric starter system. Power is transmitted through a Hydro Gear T2HP belt-driven hydrostatic transmission, providing the operator with infinite forward and reverse speed control without the need for manual gear shifting.
Mechanical and Chassis
The tractor features a two-wheel drive system and manual steering. Its chassis is supported by a cast-iron front axle, enhancing durability, and a 0.75-inch diameter rear axle. The operator station is of the open type, fitted with a mid-back seat. The unit measures 71 inches (180 cm) in length, with a 50-inch (127 cm) wheelbase and a total weight of 532 lbs (241 kg).
Mowing and Versatility
The Regent 21/42 is equipped with a 42-inch mower deck. It utilizes an independent mid-mounted Power Take-Off (PTO) system, engaged via an electric clutch, allowing for efficient operation of the mowing deck. The tractor is fitted with lawn/turf tires, sized 15x6.0-6 at the front and 20x10.0-8 at the rear, designed to provide adequate traction while minimizing turf damage.
Conclusion
The Simplicity Regent 21/42 is a standard lawn tractor suited for residential property maintenance. Its combination of a hydrostatic transmission, electric clutch engagement, and cast-iron front axle construction provides a balance of ease-of-use and structural integrity for general grass cutting requirements.
