About - Brute BTXPV22700E
This Brute mower's rating consists of: Mulching: Reflects a combination of evenness, which is how close the mowers came to even, carpet-like mowing, and how completely the mower distributed the clippings over the lawn's surface. Bagging: Denotes a combination of evenness, which is how close the mowers came to even, carpet-like mowing, and how many clippings the bag held before it filled or the chute clogged. Side discharging: A combination of evenness, which is how close the mowers came to even, carpet-like mowing, and how evenly clippings were dispersed from the side-discharge chute. Handling: Includes ease of operating the drive controls (for self-propelled models), pushing and pulling, making U-turns, and maneuvering in tight spots. Ease of use: Includes ease of starting the engine, operating the blade-stopping controls, shifting speeds (for self-propelled), and adjusting the cutting height. Bag convenience and ease of changing modes are separate judgments that contribute to the overall score.

Features & Specs - Brute BTXPV22700E
Forward speeds Some self-propelled mowers have one speed, usually about 2 1/2 mph; others have several; still others have a continuous range, typically from 1 to 3 mph. Two or more speeds let you adjust to the terrain and grass. Forward speeds	Variable
Drive wheels Front-wheel drive allows you to make U-turns by pushing down on the handlebar and swinging the mower around without disengaging the drive. The penalty is less traction than rear-wheel drive mowers. Drive wheels	Rear
Deck size (in.) Most models have a deck size, or cutting swath, of 20 to 22 inches. There is no significant advantage from one size to another. A larger deck can cut more grass in a single pass, but in this size range the difference is negligible. Deck size (in.)	22
Electric start Starts a gasoline-powered engine with the turn of a key by the operator. An electric start is powered by an on-board battery that requires periodic charging. Electric start	Yes
Blade brake clutch Allows the gasoline engine to continue to run when the operator leaves the area behind the handlebar to empty the grass-clipping collection bag or to move an object in the path of the mower. It saves wear on the engine by reducing stopping/ restarting cycles. Blade brake clutch	No
Engine size For gas-powered mowers, engine size in cubic centimeters (cc) provides a rough indication of the engine's power; electric models are rated in volts (for cordless) or amperes (corded). A larger number for either a gas or electric model, however, does not necessarily result in better cutting performance. Engine size	190
Engine manufacturer Stated manufacturer of a gasoline engine. For some mowers the engine manufacturer is not documented and is listed as "unknown.". Engine manufacturer	Briggs & Stratton
