The Simplicity Lawn
Mower - Making Mowing Easy!
If you want a tractor mower that is easy
to operate and comfortable to ride look into the line of
Simplicity Lawn Mowers, Inc. Formed in 1922,
the company is under the Briggs & Stratton umbrella and has
been long known for quality and craftsmanship.
Their mowers are durable and perform well for years, well
beyond their warranties. Three models stand out in customer
satisfaction:
The Javelin. Ranging between $3200 and $3900, this lawn mower
can zip along at a speed of 6 mph in forward and 3 MPH in
reverse mode. The design is a single framed system with front
springs that makes not only the ride smooth but the mowing
even. It offers six different height options by a lever that is
easy to control from the driver's seat. In fact, Simplicity has
designed the Javelin so that all the controls are within easy
reach. The seats are extra padded, as are the foot rests, and
the tires measure 18 inches in diameter, yet it has a zero turn
radius. It literally can turn on a dime. The gas tank holds up
to 3 gallons, enough to handle most yards front and back
without refueling. The engine is made by Briggs & Stratton,
the parts form Koehler and the transmission is provided by
Hydro Gear® EZT. Models range in horsepower from 16 to 40.
The Coronet. Is a bit smaller Simplicity Lawn
Mower that provides between 13 and 16 HP
and operates on electric
power. It has two patented design features - the Ground
Hugger™ and Auto Leveller™ - which work together to
provide a clean, even cut of 30-34 inches in width. The
turning radius is around 12 inches, so it is not as tight
as the Javelin's. However, like the Javelin, you can
adjust the height f the cut while you operate it through
their Dial-A-Cut™ system. Its price range is
$2450-2850.
The Regent Simplicity Lawn Mower. This riding mower is
the flagship model. Simplicity calls it their most
aesthetically pleasing and useful riding mower. Customers seem
to agree, placing it as one of the best on the market today.
The seat and cab are ergonomically designed to provide both
comfort and practicality. People say it is like riding in a
car. If you have a yard that is more than an acre, this is
worth considering. It sports a rear pivot transmission and a
torsion bar suspension. These two things secure the mower to
give it better balance and traction, especially on hilly land.
The foot controls are easy to reach and keeps your hands on the
wheel, so you can turn directions with ease. It averages around
$2600 - $3200 and has 18 -24HP motor with the option of a 38",
44" or 46" floating deck. The turning radius is 14 inches. It
also has a 3.5 gallon gas tank, cruise control and an automatic
transmission.
Other popular models are the Citation, the Legacy, the Axion
and the Broadmoor. No matter what your lawn needs are, whether
you want to stripe patterns like a pro, or just keep your lawn
trimmed and neat, there is a Simplicity
Lawn Mower for
you.
