Our take on the Troy-Bilt Bronco 42 547cc Riding Lawn Mower

The Troy-Bilt Bronco 42 is a gas lawn tractor with a 547cc engine rated at 19 HP, a 42-inch deck, and a CVT transmission. It starts with a key, has five cutting heights from 1.5 to 3.75 inches, and discharges to the side, with bagging supported and mulching sold separately. Its 18-inch turn radius is tight for a tractor this size, which helps around beds and fences. Owners rate it 3.2 out of 5 from 142 ratings, so expectations should be set for a basic entry-level machine.

Questions and answers

Is the Troy-Bilt Bronco 42 worth it?
For a flat yard under about an acre on a tight budget, yes. It is a basic tractor, and the 3.2 out of 5 rating reflects that owners expect modest build quality.
Does it mulch or bag?
It side discharges as shipped and accepts a bagger. Mulching needs a separate mulch kit, which is not included.
How big a yard can it handle?
A 42-inch deck suits roughly half an acre to an acre. Larger or hilly properties are better served by a wider deck and a hydrostatic drive.
What engine and transmission does it have?
A 547cc gas engine rated at 19 HP paired with a CVT transmission. It starts with a key from a 12V battery.
What comes in the box?
The tractor, deck, 12V battery and key-start ignition. The mulch kit and bagger are sold separately.
When is it cheapest?
Riding mowers usually discount in late summer and early fall as stores clear seasonal stock. Check the price history before buying in spring.
