The Craftsman YT4500 garden tractor lawn mower is another mid sized tractor lawn mower from the team at Craftsman. Similar models to this one include the Craftsman Professional 28hp 54″ Garden Tractor Lawn Mower and the Craftsman 54 Inch 26 hp Lawn Tractor lawn mowers. The engine that powers the YT 4500 is a Kohler Pro Courage. This twin cylinder engine uses a full pressure lubrication system to keep all the parts of the engine working smoothly. The engine comes with a full 2 year warranty. The total displacement of this gasoline engine comes to 0.725 liters. The cylinders are both iron lined. The Kohler Pro Courage engine is air cooled and uses a paper air filter to purify the air intake. The total power output from the YT4500′s engine is 26 hp.

The engine transfers power to the wheels of the lawnmower through a hydrostatic transmission. This transmission gives the Craftsman YT4500 infinite speeds traveling forwards and infinite speed when it’s reversing also. The speed of the garden tractor is controlled using a foot pedal accelerator. Thankfully the turning radius on the YT 4500 is fairly small at just 16 inches. There is also cruise control as standard with this tractor mower. Knowing when to next bring the tractor mower for a servicing is very easy thanks to a digital hourmeter in the dashboard. Turning the tractor is done using a sector and pinion steering wheel set up.

The front of the tractor is capable of taking either a snow blade or snowblower which is very handy if you live in a colder area. The mower deck on the Craftsman YT4500 has a cutting width of 54 inches. This mower deck has 3 blades and can be adjusted through 6 different cutting heights in half inch increments. The YT 4500 is also compatible with a 3 bin bagger.
