VIDEO: Craftsman CTX 9500 riding mower at Detroit Auto Show

By ,

A lawn tractor at the Detroit Auto Show? A brilliant marketing move from the people at Craftsman. Smart because this is the first time a non-automotive product is unveiled on the biggest car stage in North America.

By far the least powerful vehicle at Cobo Hall that runs on petrol, the 30 hp Craftsman CTX 9500 looked a little out of place across the Hall from Honda, Mercedes-Benz and Ford.

As you can see, Kevin was quite excited at the prospect of mounting the CTX. We may have found a new career path for the man. Lawntractor123.com anyone?
