The McCulloch MC2042YT garden tractor lawn mower is another quality machine from the team at McCulloch. In many ways you will find this model to be remarkably similar to the McCulloch MC20V42YT garden tractor lawnmower both in cutting width and power. However the main difference is that the MC20V42YT is an automatic, while this lawnmower has a 6 speed gear system. The engine that powers the MC20 42YT is a Briggs and Stratton Intek. This 2 cylinder model uses a full pressure lubrication system to keep the moving parts properly lubricated and moving smoothly during operation.

The 6 speed gearbox give the McCulloch MC2042YT a top speed of 8 kph (5 mph) going forwards and in reverse a top speed of 4 kph (2.5 mph). The rear wheels are the driving wheels on the McCulloch 42″ 20 hp lawnmower. They also carry the majority of the weight during operation. It’s because of this that they are larger, measuring in at 20×8-8 (20 inch diameter, 8 inch width, 8 inch rim diameter). The front wheels are used for steering the lawnmower. These each measure in at 15×6-6 (15 inch diameter, 6 inch width, 6 inch rim diameter). The wheels are air filled turf tires which won’t easily mark your lawn.

The mower deck on the McCulloch MC2042YT is 42 inches wide (42 inch cutting width, larger total width) which makes it useful in gardens that range in size from 0.5 acres up to 4 acres. The deck is constructed from stamped, 13 gauge steel and inside it, you will find 2 mower blades. The operator can raise and lower the mower deck on the MC20 42YT from a low of 1.5 inches to a high of 4 inches in 0.5 inch increments. For dealing with the grass clippings, you can optionally purchase a rear bagger to collect them which is the best option for making you lawn nice and neat. You can also buy a mulching plug, while some like to just leave the grass clippings on the grass.
