The Troy-Bilt TB30B is a gate-friendly rear-engine riding mower for small or gated yards up to half an acre — a 30-inch-deck machine with an 18-inch turning radius that slips through standard 36-inch garden gates.
It's the practical middle ground for the homeowner whose property doesn't justify a full-size lawn tractor but more than justifies giving up the walk-behind, with a rear-engine layout that keeps it short and easy to park.
Key Features
Gate-friendly size: 30 in deck and 18 in turning radius fit through 36 in gates and tight landscaping.
Rear-engine layout: 10.5 HP Briggs & Stratton OHV shifts weight rearward for better traction.
Shift-on-the-Go transmission: Six forward speeds selected from a single dash lever while moving.
Easy cold starts: Automatic Choke-a-Matic and a durable AGM battery for reliable key-start.
Included mulch plug: Converts the side-discharge deck to mulching — an uncommon inclusion at this price.
Mow-in-reverse: Operator-controlled reverse mowing for backing out of corners.
