Product Description

The Murray MT200 42-Inch Riding Lawn Tractor combines a large residential cutting deck, a 19 HP Briggs & Stratton engine and an automatic drive system in a straightforward lawn-tractor platform intended for properties up to approximately two acres.

Power comes from the Briggs & Stratton EX1900 Series engine, identified by Murray as engine model 33R8. It produces a manufacturer-published 19.0 gross HP from 540cc displacement and uses an electric starting system.

Murray pairs the engine with a smooth automatic transmission, eliminating the conventional six-speed manual gearbox found on the lower MT100 model. The automatic arrangement is specifically promoted by Murray and Home Depot as requiring no manual shifting during normal driving.

Cutting is handled by a 42-inch stamped-steel mower deck constructed from 13-gauge steel. The deck uses two cutting blades along with anti-scalp wheels designed to help the deck follow the lawn while reducing unwanted turf contact over uneven areas.

A single-lever, 13-position cutting-height system adjusts the mower deck through a broad range of selectable settings. Murray’s system changes the deck position through one control rather than requiring separate front and rear adjustments.

The tractor also includes Murray’s Mow-in-Reverse function, allowing the mower system to remain active in the manufacturer-authorized reverse-mowing mode.

An 18-inch turning radius helps the full-size tractor maneuver around common landscaping and yard obstacles.

Operator equipment includes an adjustable 13-inch high-back padded seat, headlights and cup holder, while a factory-integrated rear hitch provides an attachment point for compatible lawn-care accessories within manufacturer limits.
