Craftsman T110 42 in. 17.5 HP Briggs & Stratton Gas Riding Lawn Mower

Craftsman T110 42-Inch Riding Lawn Mower with 17.5HP Briggs and Stratton Engine

The Craftsman T110 is a 42-inch riding lawn mower designed for homeowners with small to medium-sized residential properties who want a reliable and straightforward riding mower with a familiar conventional steering layout and a practical deck size for regular seasonal maintenance. Powered by a 17.5HP Briggs and Stratton single-cylinder engine, the T110 delivers consistent power output matched to the operational demands of a 42-inch stamped steel cutting deck under standard residential mowing conditions including mixed turf, moderate grass density, and flat to gently sloped terrain. The Craftsman brand has a long history in the residential outdoor power equipment market, and the T110 represents the entry point into the Craftsman riding mower lineup for operators who are transitioning from a walk-behind mower or replacing an existing riding mower. The machine is assembled in the United States, and parts availability is supported by the Craftsman service network and independent suppliers across the country, making routine maintenance and long-term ownership accessible for the operator throughout the service life of the machine.

17.5HP Briggs and Stratton Engine

The 17.5HP Briggs and Stratton single-cylinder engine (500cc) provides consistent power output for standard residential mowing on flat to gently sloped properties with normal grass density and standard cutting heights. The Briggs and Stratton engine platform is one of the most widely used in the residential outdoor power equipment market, with an extensive network of authorized service centers and independent parts suppliers across the country. This widespread availability of service support and replacement parts reduces the cost and inconvenience of routine maintenance and unplanned repairs over the service life of the machine. Routine maintenance tasks including oil changes, air filter replacement, and spark plug service are accessible with standard tools at standard service intervals, and the engine is designed for reliable cold and warm starting performance throughout the seasonal temperature range encountered in residential mowing use.

42-Inch Stamped Steel Cutting Deck

The 42-inch stamped 13-gauge steel cutting deck provides practical ground coverage for small to medium residential properties, covering more area per pass than a walk-behind mower while remaining maneuverable enough for standard residential lawn layouts with trees, garden beds, and typical fixed obstacles. The deck delivers a consistent and even cut across its full 42-inch width on each pass under normal residential mowing conditions, producing a uniform finish on standard turf types at the operator's selected cutting height. Five-position deck height adjustment allows the operator to set cutting height between 1.5 inches and 4 inches, covering the standard range of residential grass types and seasonal cutting preferences throughout the ownership period. The 42-inch deck width is appropriate for properties up to approximately 1.5 acres where the operator wants to complete mowing sessions in a reasonable timeframe without the wider footprint and storage requirements of a larger deck machine. The deck is compatible with an optional mulching kit (sold separately) for operators who prefer a finer finish and natural fertilization.

7-Speed Gear Drive Transmission

The T110 uses a 7-speed gear drive transmission that provides the operator with straightforward speed selection across a range suitable for varied mowing conditions on small to medium residential properties. The gear drive system gives the operator direct control over ground speed through a simple shift lever, allowing adjustment between lower speeds for dense grass or careful mowing near obstacles and higher speeds for efficient straight-line mowing on open flat sections. Forward speeds reach up to 5.5 MPH and reverse speeds up to 2.5 MPH, covering the practical range for standard residential mowing including efficient straight-line cutting on open sections and slower controlled maneuvering near obstacles. The gear drive layout is intuitive for operators who are familiar with conventional riding mower controls, and the range of available speeds provides flexibility for handling different sections of a typical residential mowing session.

Steering and Maneuverability

The T110 uses a conventional steering wheel layout common to riding lawn tractors and riding mowers, providing familiar and intuitive control for operators transitioning from a walk-behind mower or replacing an existing riding mower of similar configuration. The machine has an 18-inch turning radius, which allows the operator to navigate around standard residential obstacles including trees, garden structures, and fence lines with controlled turning arcs. The 42-inch deck size contributes to the overall maneuverability of the machine on properties with tighter sections or multiple fixed obstacles, as the narrower deck allows the operator to navigate areas where a wider machine would require more maneuvering space. Front 15-inch and rear 20-inch wheels provide stable footing and traction across typical residential turf conditions. The steering wheel layout and gear drive transmission combination provides a straightforward and accessible operating experience for operators of varying experience levels.

Operator Platform and Additional Features

The T110 includes LED headlights for improved visibility when mowing in lower-light conditions such as early morning or late evening hours, extending the practical mowing window on properties where daytime mowing is not always convenient. The low-back seat supports comfortable operation during standard mowing sessions on small to medium properties, and the overall control layout is designed for easy reach and natural operation throughout the session. A cup holder is built into the operator platform for convenience, and a rear tow hitch is included for attaching compatible accessories. The operator-controlled mow-in-reverse feature adds flexibility during maneuvering, and the manual PTO blade engagement system provides straightforward deck activation. The machine is assembled in Willard, Ohio using global materials and is backed by a 3-year limited warranty.
