The handle adds to the CM61456-S convenience of transport.
Weighing 50 lbs, this unit offers a manageable weight that allows for easy handling by most individuals. The unit's weight is principally a result of the inclusion of the 170cc engine and a strong steel frame. Nevertheless, the CM61456-S's two 12" never-flat wheels ensure it remains easy to maneuver.
