B-208
8 HP with 3-speed all-geared transmission
Eight lively horses, quick response steering and a 3-speed transmission make this the brightest new tractor to hit the lawn and garden market in years. It cruises at over 5½ mph. Mows up to an acre every half hour . . . without scalping . . . thanks to its patented free-floating mower design. Electric starting. Remarkably maneuverable, too. You can zig-zag along an uneven flower bed and edge right up to buildings, walks and fences. And for all season versatility, it handles many accessories including: cart, roller, rake, blade, snow thrower, vacuum collector, sprayer and fogger.
