It combines a dependable \u003cstrong\u003e547cc Troy-Bilt gasoline engine\u003c\/strong\u003e with a wide \u003cstrong\u003e42-inch twin-blade steel cutting deck\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing users to cover more grass with fewer passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe Bronco 42 is recommended for lawns measuring up to approximately \u003cstrong\u003e1.5 acres\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its 42-inch deck provides enough width for efficient mowing while remaining maneuverable around trees, garden beds, pathways and other common landscape features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eUnlike a traditional manual gear-drive mower, the Bronco 42 features Troy-Bilt’s \u003cstrong\u003eAutoDrive transmission\u003c\/strong\u003e. The foot-pedal control allows the operator to adjust travel speed without manually shifting through fixed gears. Pressing the pedal increases ground speed, giving the mower a familiar driving feel and allowing speeds of up to approximately 5.5 mph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003ePower comes from a rugged 547cc single-cylinder Troy-Bilt engine designed to provide reliable starting, responsive performance and sufficient torque for regular residential mowing. An electric-start system allows the mower to be started conveniently using the ignition key.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe durable 42-inch stamped-steel deck uses two cutting blades to produce a clean, even finish. Its standard side-discharge configuration directs clippings away from the mowing path, while an optional mulch kit can be installed to finely process clippings and return them to the lawn. A compatible grass-bagging attachment is also available separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eTwo anti-scalp deck wheels help the deck follow changes in the lawn surface and reduce the possibility of cutting the grass too closely on uneven ground. The cutting height can be adjusted through multiple positions to accommodate different grass types, seasonal conditions and preferred lawn finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eFor improved operator comfort, the Bronco 42 includes a supportive mid-back seat, a soft-touch steering wheel and rubberized footpads that help reduce vibration. Its Step-Thru frame provides open access to the operator area, making it easier to get on and off the mower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eAutomatic headlights improve visibility when mowing in shaded areas or during lower-light conditions. A rear hitch also allows the mower to work with compatible tow-behind lawn accessories, such as carts, spreaders and aerators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul
