Large enough to cover a substantial lawn with speed & efficiency, but small enough to fit through narrow gateways, this compact ride-on from Lawnflite is the obvious choice for anyone seeking to step-up from a walk-behind mower. Thanks to its narrow 76cm cutting-width & impressively tight 46cm turning-circle, the MTD Lawnflite 76SD Mini Rider is easy to realign at the end of each pass & can be driven safely around & between obstacles. Manoeuvrability is further enhanced by a six-speed change-on-the-move Transmatic transmission, which provides foot-pedal control of the ground-speed. The Lawnflite 76SD has two standard mowing-modes: mulching, which is ideal for short, dry grass; & side-discharge, which comes into its own on long, damp grass. A capacious grass-collector can be purchased separately. In order to help you manage changing weather-conditions & grass-lengths, Lawnflite have equipped the 76SD with five centrally selected cutting-heights. The cutter-deck has been laterally displaced for ‘up-to-the-edge’ mowing; & it floats so as to ensure the blade follows the contours of undulating ground. Making the Lawnflite 76SD tick is a high-powered & ultra-dependable 11.6hp four-stroke engine from MTD. There’s an electric starter, so getting the engine going will be a stress-free operation every single time. Other key features include wide turf-saving drive-wheels, which work to keep the lawn surface in pristine condition; & a large-capacity 4.9-litre fuel-tank for longer run-times between refuelling-breaks.
