Really Nice Machine March 06, 2009
Really a nicely built machine. Of course, the 17 H.P. Briggs & Stratton Engine is a marvelous power plant, my last lawn tractor had a 12 H.P. B&S Engine and, with proper maintenence, it's still running after 21 years. The larger battery should provide sufficient starting power for several seasons when compared to the earlier motorcycle type batteries. The mulching blade was a snap to put on and the associated discharge blocking plate just snapped into place. What a great price, my earlier 1988 MTD tractor was $850; What other major purchase has only gone up $150 in the last 21 years ? The one potentially negative aspect is reliability, it is far more mechanically complex than my 88 model which could potentially lead to more repairs over the years. The extended repair warranty may be worth the money if your not mechanically inclined ! I guarantee that one drive belt change would justify the cost of the warranty !

2 stars October 07, 2008
I just bought this tractor to replace my old Craftsman of 11 years. Well, the first two days with my new tractor I had to level the deck, tighten bolts, grease fittings and place cotter pins where there was none. I never had to do that much work on my old tractor in 11 years. SO, I TOOK BACK THE NEW ONE, GOT MY MONEY BACK AND BOUGHT PARTS FOR MY OLD ONE. MY OLD ONE IS QUIETER AND A BETTER RIDE AND AM GLAD I DECIDED TO RE-FURBISH IT. MY NEXT MOWER WILL NOT BE A CRAFTSMAN BECAUSE THEY ARE CLOSING THE LOCAL "SERVICE/PARTS CENTER" IN MOLINE, ILLINOIS

Great Mower May 04, 2009

My dad bought this for me and it is fantastic. I have a big yard to mow with some areas of thick grass. This mower can handle it. It's easy to use and comfortable. I would definately recommend it.

By weinner

I bought it Jan 09 , it's a 2008 model, Got a excellent deal. This is my first new rider. It works perfect ,I love the Ros switch real handy when needing to back-up. Great for small,and large yards too great turning radius.I also bought the rear bragger, twin hard, love it a lot. I can't find any thing wrong with it. I have 20 hours on it and no problems.
