The Troy-Bilt Bronco 46 is a gas riding lawn mower with a 547cc Troy-Bilt engine and a 46-inch stamped steel deck. Its main draw is the AutoDrive transmission: instead of a pedal, you pick a speed with a lever and the mower handles the rest, which makes it easier to control than a manual gear tractor. It suits owners with roughly half an acre to an acre and a half of fairly open lawn who want a simple, affordable rider. Against rivals like the Cub Cadet XT1 and John Deere E120, it is lighter on features: no deck wash port, no cruise control on the base model, and a narrower deck than 48- and 54-inch competitors. Owners like the price-to-size ratio and the step-through frame, but reviews often mention a rough ride, a fussy AutoDrive lever and decks that can scalp on uneven ground.
