Frequently asked questions
What does hydrostatic transmission mean?
YFG108SH42 uses a hydraulic drive transmission to control travel speed. It is a conventional lawn tractor, not a zero-turn model; plan turning clearance around garden beds and obstacles.
What should I measure before delivery?
Check gates, storage doors and turning space against the mower's overall dimensions, including attachments and the discharge chute. Cutting-deck width is not overall machine width.

Frequently asked questions
What type of transmission does this tractor have?
A hydrostatic transmission — there's no clutch or gears to shift. Speed is controlled by pedal, from 0 up to 5.5 mph forward and 2.8 mph in reverse.
What is the actual cutting width?
42.5 inches. This is close to, but not identical to, the 42.9-in overall deck width.
What is the cutting height range, and how do I adjust it?
The deck offers 7 manual height positions from 1 3/16 in to 3 1/2 in (3–9 cm), adjusted via a manual deck lift lever.
Does this tractor have an LED headlight?
No — this model has an incandescent headlight, not LED.
Does it require pull-start, or does it have electric start?
This model has electric start, powered by a 12V 18Ah lead-acid battery; no pull cord is required.
How many blades does it have?
Two (double-blade deck), for a cleaner cut across the full cutting width in a single pass.
What is the fuel tank capacity?
The fuel tank holds 7.5 L (2.0 US gal), powering a 452cc air-cooled OHV 4-stroke engine with a max speed of 2800 rpm.
What tools or assembly are required out of the box?
The tractor ships with the seat, steering wheel, steering connect shaft, steering shaft cover, wheel, bumper, and mulching cover unassembled. Assembly requires the included tool set and is a two-person lift due to product weight (379.2 lb / 172 kg assembled).
What is the turning radius?
0.5 m, which is tighter than most comparable riding mowers, making it easier to maneuver around trees, beds and obstacles.
