The Yard Force 42-in 452cc Double-Blade Gas Lawn Tractor (Model YFG108SH42) is built for larger residential lawns that demand more cutting width and effortless control. Its 452cc air-cooled OHV engine pairs with a hydrostatic transmission — no clutch, no gears to shift, just smooth pedal-controlled acceleration from 0 to 5.5 mph forward and up to 2.8 mph in reverse.
The 42.5-in twin-blade deck offers 7-position manual height adjustment from 1 3/16 in to 3 1/2 in (3–9 cm), giving you finer control over cut quality than most tractors in its class. Side discharge is built into the deck, and a mulching cover is included in the box, so you can switch clipping styles without buying extra attachments. A 0.5 m turning radius keeps this full-size tractor surprisingly nimble around obstacles.
Electric start (12V 18Ah lead-acid battery), a mid-back seat, and a 7.5 L fuel tank round out a machine designed for extended mowing sessions on bigger properties. It's backed by a 3-year warranty on the drivetrain and chassis (1 year on battery/charger) for Canadian residential use, and carries an EPA Safer Choice designation.

Frequently asked questions
What type of transmission does this tractor have?
A hydrostatic transmission — there's no clutch or gears to shift. Speed is controlled by pedal, from 0 up to 5.5 mph forward and 2.8 mph in reverse.
What is the actual cutting width?
42.5 inches. This is close to, but not identical to, the 42.9-in overall deck width.
What is the cutting height range, and how do I adjust it?
The deck offers 7 manual height positions from 1 3/16 in to 3 1/2 in (3–9 cm), adjusted via a manual deck lift lever.
Does this tractor have an LED headlight?
No — this model has an incandescent headlight, not LED.
Does it require pull-start, or does it have electric start?
This model has electric start, powered by a 12V 18Ah lead-acid battery; no pull cord is required.
How many blades does it have?
Two (double-blade deck), for a cleaner cut across the full cutting width in a single pass.
What is the fuel tank capacity?
The fuel tank holds 7.5 L (2.0 US gal), powering a 452cc air-cooled OHV 4-stroke engine with a max speed of 2800 rpm.
What tools or assembly are required out of the box?
The tractor ships with the seat, steering wheel, steering connect shaft, steering shaft cover, wheel, bumper, and mulching cover unassembled. Assembly requires the included tool set and is a two-person lift due to product weight (379.2 lb / 172 kg assembled).
What is the turning radius?
0.5 m, which is tighter than most comparable riding mowers, making it easier to maneuver around trees, beds and obstacles.
