Craftsman M220 21" Self-Propelled Mower vs Craftsman M300B 21-inch Self-Propelled Mower
These are close siblings: same 140cc engine, same 21-inch 3-in-1 deck, same six-position dual-lever height range. The real split is the drive. The M300B sends power to the rear wheels, which grips better on slopes and wet grass and is easier to steer through turns; the M220 drives the front wheels and is the simpler, lighter-feeling machine. Buy the M300B if your lawn has any grade to it. Buy the M220 if your yard is flat and you want the least fuss.
- Choose the M220 if your lawn is flat and you want a straightforward front-wheel-drive mower with the same deck and engine as its sibling.
- Choose the M300B if you mow slopes, uneven ground or damp grass and want rear-wheel traction pulling the deck.
