MTD Lawn Mowers

Details about MTD Lawn Mowers

Is your mower starting to creak, rattle and squeal as you cut the grass? Is it shaking your arm and giving you a workout from the vibration? Are you longing for a mower that’s self-propelled and can instantly turn those grass clippings to mulch?

For a crisp cut and smooth action, consider upgrading to one of MTD’s high quality mowers. Here’s the lowdown on some of MTD’s current offerings and how they compare to the other brands.

TB270 ES TriAction 21” Electric Start Self-Propelled Mower

This bumper pulls every blade upright for an even cut every time. The mower deck also extends past the wheels, meaning that you have to make fewer passes with the mower.
