Engine and Power
The tractor is powered by a 2-cylinder, air-cooled, vertical-shaft Briggs & Stratton V-Twin gasoline engine. With a displacement of 724 cc (44.18 ci) and a gross power output of 25 hp (18.6 kW), the engine provides consistent power for the 42-inch mower deck.

This system allows for infinite forward and reverse speed control, enabling the operator to adjust ground speed precisely without shifting gears. The tractor is configured with two-wheel drive, manual steering, and disc brakes to ensure maneuverability and stopping reliability.
Electrical and PTO

The tractor rides on turf-specific tires, with 15x6-6 dimensions on the front and 20x10-8 dimensions on the rear, intended to minimize soil compaction and maximize traction on lawn surfaces.
