Last Updated: September 2024

Overview

The Simplicity Legacy XL 27 is a powerful lawn and garden tractor made from 2004 to 2015. It has a strong 27 hp Kohler engine with two cylinders, which is very high power for its class. The engine is air-cooled and runs on gasoline. This tractor has a 2-wheel drive system and uses hydrostatic power steering, making it easy to control.

One of the best things about this tractor is its transmission. It has infinite forward and reverse gears, so you can always find the right speed for your job. The Legacy XL 27 comes with a three-point hitch at the back that can lift up to 300 lb. It also has a PTO (power take-off) that spins at 540 rpm, letting you use many different tools. The tractor is quite big for its type, measuring 80.7 inches long, 44.5 inches wide, and 50.8 inches tall. It weighs 829 lb, which is above average for similar tractors. You can add extra parts to make it even more useful, and there's even an option for a weather cab to keep you comfortable while working.
