The Troy Bilt Tuffy garden tractor lawn mower is a quality piece of machinery from the well known and trusted brand that is Troy Bilt. The Tuffy lawnmower gets it’s power from a Courage engine that is designed and built by Kohler. This single cylinder engine is gasoline powered. The fuel tank on the Tuffy can hold just 5.3 liters (1.4 US gallons) of gasoline which is a strong indicator that this machine is marketed solely towards individuals with small gardens that range in size from 0.5 to 2.5 acres. If you had to use this machine everyday as a commercial contractor, you would quickly find that you will be refilling it about every 2 hours which you’ll find to be fairly time consuming.

Power from the engine drives the wheels through a continuously variable transmission. This CVT gearbox gives the Troy Bilt Tuffy 7 speeds. However you fortunately don’t have to use a clutch to change gears. This gives the lawn tractor a top speed of 8.4 kph (5.2 mph). The mower deck on the Tuffy lawn mower has a cutting width of 38 inches, although because of the plastic discharge flap it’s total width is about 10 inches greater than this. The mower deck is made from 13 gauge steel and has 2 blades inside that work in unison to give your lawn a smoother cut than a single large blade working alone would. The engine, which powers the mowing deck is started using a 12 volt battery that supplies 190 cold cranking amps.

Another indication that the Troy Bilt Tuffy is only intended for individual residential use is the fact that the drivers seat has a low back which doesn’t offer much back support during long operating hours. When buying the Tuffy lawn mower from Troy Bilt, you have the option of also purchasing a FastAttach mulching kit or even a rear attached bagger.
