Type: Gas self-propelled

About - Brute BTXPV22700E
This 22-inch model's self-propelled mower operates in rear-wheel drive at variable speeds. It features a Briggs & Stratton 190cc displacement engine. This model will re-cut clippings until they're small enough to settle back into the lawn as mulch, bag them into a removable catcher, or discharge them through a side chute. It also has electric start, eliminating the need to pull-start the engine. To change the grass-cutting height, a single lever can be used to adjust all wheels at once. This model comes with a washout port to clean underneath the mower. It includes a 2-year warranty for any defects.

Features & Specs - Brute BTXPV22700E
Forward speeds Some self-propelled mowers have one speed, usually about 2 1/2 mph; others have several; still others have a continuous range, typically from 1 to 3 mph. Two or more speeds let you adjust to the terrain and grass. Forward speeds	Variable
Drive wheels Front-wheel drive allows you to make U-turns by pushing down on the handlebar and swinging the mower around without disengaging the drive. The penalty is less traction than rear-wheel drive mowers. Drive wheels	Rear
Deck size (in.) Most models have a deck size, or cutting swath, of 20 to 22 inches. There is no significant advantage from one size to another. A larger deck can cut more grass in a single pass, but in this size range the difference is negligible. Deck size (in.)	22
Electric start Starts a gasoline-powered engine with the turn of a key by the operator. An electric start is powered by an on-board battery that requires periodic charging. Electric start	Yes
Blade brake clutch Allows the gasoline engine to continue to run when the operator leaves the area behind the handlebar to empty the grass-clipping collection bag or to move an object in the path of the mower. It saves wear on the engine by reducing stopping/ restarting cycles. Blade brake clutch	No
Engine size For gas-powered mowers, engine size in cubic centimeters (cc) provides a rough indication of the engine's power; electric models are rated in volts (for cordless) or amperes (corded). A larger number for either a gas or electric model, however, does not necessarily result in better cutting performance. Engine size	190 cc
Engine manufacturer Stated manufacturer of a gasoline engine. For some mowers the engine manufacturer is not documented and is listed as "unknown.". Engine manufacturer	Briggs & Stratton
