Simplicity Prestige Power Steering 54-inch garden tractor

Date Published: 6/19/06

Packed with user-friendly perks, the top-of-the-line 54-inch Simplicity Prestige garden tractor combines comfort and convenience with power and precision.

Its Free Floating deck mows an extra-wide swath as it hugs a yard's contours, resulting in a clean, professional-looking cut. Powered by a quiet, smooth-running Kohler Command V-Twin 23-horsepower engine, the tractor can zip forward up to 7.5 miles per hour, and up to 4.5 miles per hour in reverse.

It's a heavy-duty tractor, with a 10-gauge welded steel frame and a cast-iron steer axle. If you're planning to use the tractor for non-mowing applications, the Quick Hitch system makes it easy to remove the deck without tools. The height-of-cut can be adjusted infinitely between 1-1/4 and 3-3/4 inches, and the traction system offers plenty of stability and footing, even in wet or snowy conditions.

Several comfortable features on the Simplicity Prestige garden tractor make it easy to work in the yard for hours at a time, including power steering, cruise control, an adjustable high-back seat, and tilt steering wheel.
