Craftsman 13.5-horsepower lawn tractor 536.270320

Date Published: 5/1/07

Like most riding mowers, the Craftsman 13.5-horsepower lawn tractor 536.270320 (Sears item # 07127032000) is a compact, maneuverable machine. At just over 350 pounds, it's considerably lighter than bigger mowers. And it's got a 12-inch turning radius, which runs circles around most traditional lawn and garden tractors. The step-through design gives you plenty of legroom and an unobstructed view of the lawn, making it easier to avoid landscaping elements or edges.

This model is powered by a 13.5-horsepower Briggs & Stratton IC OHV engine, and uses a hydrostatic transmission, which means increases or decreases in speed go smoothly. This riding mower has a stamped-steel, 30-inch cutting deck, which is fairly petite, but a good choice for small- to medium-sized yards.

This fairly basic unit comes with a tool-free deck-leveling feature, a beverage holder, and padded steering wheel. The Craftsman 13.5-horsepower lawn tractor 536.270320 is covered by a 2-year limited warranty.


Pros: Compact, price
Cons: Small cutting deck
