It features a powerful 352cc single-cylinder engine that ensures optimal performance and durability. The mower is equipped with a 97 cm cutting deck, which allows for a broad cutting width, reducing the number of passes needed to mow a lawn and thereby increasing efficiency. The cutting height is adjustable, providing options ranging from 38 mm to 102 mm to accommodate different grass lengths and preferences.

The M115-97T is a ride-on mower, offering a comfortable seat and intuitive control layout that enhances user comfort and ease of operation.

The mower's rear-wheel drive system ensures excellent traction even on uneven or sloped terrain. A robust steel chassis underpins the mower, contributing to its structural integrity and longevity.

For grass clippings, the mower includes a side discharge feature, effectively dispersing cut grass to the side and reducing clumping. The machine's compact design allows for easy storage and transportation, despite its larger cutting deck. Safety features, such as an operator presence control, ensure that the mower only operates when the user is securely seated. The McCulloch M115-97T combines power, efficiency, and user-friendly operation, making it a suitable choice for homeowners seeking a dependable lawn maintenance solution.
