Since 1958 when the first lawn mower rolled off the line, MTD has been designing easy-to-use outdoor power equipment and building a reputation for quality and dependability second to none. Yard Machines® provides the equipment you need to get yard work done.

While lawn tractors are primarily used for mowing grass, garden tractors can not only mow, but also clear snow, tow heavy equipment, till gardens, grade driveways, and do pretty much any job you might need done. Garden Tractors have a more heavy duty build, which makes them a more versatile machine.
Rotary push-behind mowers typically come with a two-stroke or four-stroke internal combustion engine. Internal combustion is one way energy is generated. Here, combustion is when a chemical change happens inside a controlled chamber within the engine that results in heat, or mechanical energy.
Most rotary push mowers are powered by internal combustion engines. Such engines are usually four-stroke engines, used for their greater torque and cleaner combustion (although a number of older models used two-stroke engines), running on gasoline (petrol) or other liquid fuels.
MTD`s regional brands include Troy-Bilt® in the Americas, Rover® in the Pacific, and WOLF-Garten® in Europe. The portfolio also includes Remington®, Yard Machines®, Columbia®, and MTD Genuine Parts® brands, all primarily sold in the Americas; and Robomow® which is sold in the Americas, Europe and the Middle East.
A lawn mower is a machine used to mow grass or plants. This machine is commonly used to tidy up the garden and also to clear the fields from grass or other types of grass.
Small riding mowers typically have single-cylinder, vertical-shaft, air-cooled gasoline engines. Lawn tractors and lawn and garden tractors may have vertical or horizontal shaft single-cylinder, air-cooled gasoline engines.
