Simplicity Mowers - Making Mowing Easy!
If you want a tractor mower that is easy to operate and comfortable to ride look into the
line of Simplicity Mowers, Inc. Formed in 1922, the company is under the Briggs & Stratton
umbrella and has been long known for quality and craftsmanship.
Simplicity 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 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 are
Simplicity Mowers for you.
