The Troy Bilt Super Bronco is a 42-inch riding lawn tractor suitable for mowing residential properties up to 1.5 acres. Driven by a 20-inch Kohler engine, the Super Bronco features a side-discharge mowing deck with five height adjustments. A single deck V-belt drives all cutting functions. It should be replaced if signs of excessive wear are apparent. Replace the Super Bronco drive belt with a Troy Bilt OEM replacement only.
