Take an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Craftsman’s premier lawn mower and riding tractor design and manufacturing process.
Craftsman products are developed and manufactured with exclusive features and benefits that differentiate them from the competition. This includes developing product features in areas such as speed, sound quality and turning radius.
“The Craftsman brand curates the best designs and manufacturing from suppliers around the globe,” says Ken Dombrowski, director of product development for lawn and garden, Craftsman, Kenmore and DieHard. “Our product development process brings innovative products with exclusive features to market. The Craftsman team works with the vendors to validate that the product and manufacturing processes will meet and comply with Craftsman quality standards.”
Faster, Quieter, More Control
The Craftsman lawn and garden team has proven its ability to innovate in three areas of lawn mower design:
1. Increase speed. Craftsman® Pro Series riding mowers come equipped with Kohler® Elite Series engines with Consistent-Cut™ technology for an even cut and plenty of power. Plus, they can achieve up to a 7.5 mph max speed.
2. Decrease noise. In 2014, the brand introduced the Craftsman Quiet All Wheel Drive and Front Wheel Drive Push Mowers, featuring Briggs & Stratton’s Quiet Power Technology™ engine. This engine is so quiet, you can still carry on a conversation while you mow. Watch this video to learn more.
- Improve turning radius. The Craftsman Turn-Tight® Riding Mowers feature a best-in-class 6-inch turning radius. See it in action here.
