McCulloch M165-107T Specification

The McCulloch M165-107T Lawn Mower is a robust and efficient machine designed for tackling medium to large-sized lawns with ease. It features a powerful 452cc single-cylinder engine, offering reliable performance and enhanced fuel efficiency. The mower's cutting deck spans 107 cm, allowing for extensive grass coverage in minimal time, which is ideal for large garden areas. Its cutting height is adjustable, ranging from 38 to 102 mm, enabling users to customize their lawn's appearance according to seasonal needs or personal preference.

The M165-107T is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission system, providing smooth and variable speed control without the need for manual gear changes, which enhances maneuverability and user comfort. A durable steel chassis ensures longevity, while the ergonomic design includes an adjustable, cushioned seat and a steering wheel that facilitates ease of use during extended mowing sessions.

For added convenience, the mower features an integrated deck wash port, simplifying maintenance by allowing users to easily clean the underside of the deck. The large capacity grass collector efficiently gathers clippings, reducing the frequency of emptying, and can be optionally replaced with a mulching kit to naturally fertilize the lawn by redistributing finely cut grass. Safety is prioritized with an automatic blade stop function, which halts blade rotation when the operator leaves the seat.

Overall, the McCulloch M165-107T offers a blend of power, versatility, and user-friendly features, making it an ideal choice for homeowners seeking a reliable and efficient lawn care solution. Its combination of advanced engineering and practical design ensures a quality mowing experience with minimal effort.
