    Can it fit? April 10, 2009
    By from3itsgood of Sacramento, CA

    This is the first riding mower that i've owned. I do not have a huge yard to mow (about 1/2 acre) but it is big enough that a riding mower makes it easier and faster. I bought the 38" mower thinking it would be small enough to fit through my gate. When i got it home i had miscalculated by about 2 ". It would not fit through my gate. My gate was 38" wide and in needed 40" clearance. I thought i was gonna have to take my gate down to get it through. After reading the operators manual i stumbled upon the solution. The deck (blade portion) comes off by pulling 9 cotter pins. I was able to take the deck off roll the mower through the gate and put the deck back on all in about ten minutes. Thank goodness!

    Excellent Mower April 05, 2009
    By Colten25 of Louisiana

    This mower is absolutely worth every penny on the price tag and then some. I've had this mower for two seasons, and i can honestly say, i am impressed by the quality that craftsmen has put into this mower. I have a terribly uneven and un-level yard, but this mower consistently makes an even cut every time. It has little to no vibration while operating. Only wish I'd got the drink holder installed, lol. As long as you perform the necessary maintenance, this machine will get you through the year. Truly a best buy.

    LT1000 October 22, 2008
    By MrMower1000 of Annapolis, MD

    This mower is the champion of mowers under $1000.00. I have had it for 1 season and I have not had any problems. I have used it to pull a 300 pound stump that was odd shaped with a chain 20 feet without a teardrop. Thanks Sears. Im a plumber who also recommends craftsman sockets and craftsman wrenches.
