The Best New Lawn Tractors, Tested

4.5 STARS

CUTTING WIDTH: 42 in.

LIKES: This is the first tractor at this price to have electronic fuel injection, which reduces fuel use by producing a more precise air-to-fuel ratio than you get with a carburetor. It also makes for consistent starts and high performance regardless of weather or fuel quality. We liked the push-button start, responsive steering, and tight cutting radius. It's also our test's most comfortable ride. By far.

DISLIKES: Without a locking differential, it didn't always maintain traction on slopes and wet grass.

ENGINE: 19 HP

PRICE: $1,800
