Product Description

The Troy-Bilt TB200B 21-Inch 140cc Gas Front-Wheel Drive Lawn Mower combines a Briggs & Stratton gasoline engine, self-propelled front-wheel-drive system, 21-inch steel cutting deck, adjustable mowing height, mulching capability, and rear grass collection in a compact residential walk-behind mower.

At the center of the TB200B is a 140cc Briggs & Stratton 550ex gasoline engine designed for reliable residential mowing and straightforward recoil starting. The engine is equipped with Briggs & Stratton’s ReadyStart™ system, reducing the need for a conventional manual choke during normal starting. Troy-Bilt identifies the exact engine model as 550ex, with engine model number 09P702-0145.

Unlike a standard push mower, the TB200B uses a single-speed front-wheel-drive self-propelled system. Power is delivered to the front wheels to assist the mower’s forward movement, while the operator maintains control using the mower’s single-bail drive control. Front-wheel drive is particularly suited to maneuvering around landscaping and making turns at the ends of mowing rows.

The mower uses a 21-inch steel cutting deck and Troy-Bilt’s TriAction® Cutting System. This system combines a rake bumper, specialized cutting blade, and symmetrical deck geometry to support an even cut and efficient mulching performance.

Grass height can be adjusted through a dual-lever, six-position height-control system. The mower provides a manufacturer-listed cutting-height range of 1.25 to 3.75 inches, allowing the deck to be configured for different maintained grass heights and seasonal mowing requirements.

The TB200B supports both mulching and rear grass collection. An integrated mulch plug is built into the deck configuration, while the included 1.9-bushel dust-blocking rear grass bag collects clippings when bagging is preferred.

The wheel layout consists of 8-inch front and 8-inch rear wheels with Troy-Bilt’s S-Wave tread pattern. Poly-bushing wheel bearings are used in the current specification.

For residential lawn care, the TB200B provides a practical combination of self-propelled assistance, manageable 21-inch cutting width, six deck-height settings, mulching capability, and rear bagging without requiring a larger riding mower.
