Features
Briggs & Stratton Professional Engine
Tough jobs are no match. The 1150 XR Professional Series™ small engine for outdoor power equipment features Overhead Valve (OHV) technology, the DuraLube™ Splash Lubrication System and a host of rugged components to bring you the precise amount of power, performance and durability you need for increasing challenges. – Want to use your own engine? No Problem! We now offer the RS196K without the engine!
Robot Welded Track System with TCP™ Technology
This consistent and precise trademarked track design, has 7x greater sprocket support compared to a single sprocket design. The drive behind the MAGNATRAC® TCP™ system is the matched sprockets of the rear drive and front idler sprocket. Simultaneously engaging both track chains, provides redundancy in case of debris interference.
Zero Turn Technology and No Shifting Gears
The MAGNATRAC® turns 360 degrees in half the space. Because you can rotate the tracks in opposite directions at the same time, the RS196K turns in it’s own length. The RS196K turns in just over 5 ft. A comparably powered compact tractor requires more than twice the space – over 10 ft. of clear space to turn around. Left and right drive handles are centered with the operator, giving easy access to left and right track controls. Instant power to forward and reverse, means no shifting gears, just push one handle forward and the other rearward to turn on a dime.
Smart Throttle and Choke
While firmly seated from the operator seat, you can fully operate the MAGNATRAC® RS196K. Dash mounted throttle and choke, make the RS196K easy to start, with no need to get off of the unit to mess with any controls.
Easy Access Hood and Engine Compartment
Simple and easy to turn hood knobs, give quick access to the engine compartment, while strong pivot bolts allow the hood to stay up for easy fuel refilling and checking of engine oil level. Thoughtfully designed grill, allows for engine exhaust to come straight out of the MAGNATRAC®, away from the operator.
Convenience and Safety
Deluxe non slip pads offer additional safety on a wet, damp day. Simple to use pull brake allows for easy access to the brake while going down a hill or for transport on a trailer. Strong, well designed fenders and fender brackets support even the heavier operator.
Quality Design and Superior Fabrication
Made in the USA quality is what you see when you look at a MAGNATRAC® RS196K up close and personal. Thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship are abundant throughout the unit. Superior fabricating, machining and robot welded components give you peace of mind, that the MAGNATRAC® RS196K means business!
