An entry-level 36-inch riding mower with a single-cylinder 11.5 HP engine, 6-speed manual gear transmission and a tight turning radius — sized for compact suburban yards up to 1 acre.
⚠ Operator Safety Read the manufacturer’s operator manual before use.
The Craftsman R110 is a purpose-built compact riding mower aimed squarely at homeowners who want to escape walk-behind maintenance without paying for a full-size lawn tractor. With a 36-inch single-blade cutting deck, an 11.5 HP single-cylinder engine and a manual 6-speed gear transmission, it is sized to handle properties up to roughly one acre and tight enough to weave between trees, planters and garden beds.
The 6-speed gear drive uses a foot-clutch operation similar to a manual car: select a gear, release the clutch and the mower moves at a constant speed. While not as effortless as a hydrostatic transmission, gear drive is also the most reliable, simplest and least expensive system to maintain — there is no fluid to flush and no expensive transaxle to replace down the road.
The compact 36-inch deck has a smaller footprint than 42- or 46-inch tractors, so it stores in a single bay of a one-car garage. A pivoting front axle absorbs uneven terrain to keep the cut consistent, and a five-position deck lever lets you fine-tune cut height between 1.5 and 4 inches. Side discharge comes standard; a mulch kit and rear bagger are available separately.
If your yard is bigger than a push mower can comfortably handle but you do not need a full lawn tractor, the R110 is the lowest-friction way to step up.
