Down here Rover made several ride ons with push mower engines and a cut up to 28"
Stiga in the EU make a ride on with bagger that runs a 140cc Briggs, also sold as Castle Garden & Mountfield
Very common for reel mower fitted with a 4 Hp engine to come with a sulky over a 100lb roller back in the days when we planted finer softer grasses like couch

Variable speed drive, two belts and varying pulley, singe blade, 30+/- inch blade. Friction reverse. Yep, beat the heck out of a 20" push mower with 1-1/2 hp Briggs.
