Great mower for the price! April 13, 2009
The Craftsman YT4000 42" with the 3-bin bagger was delivered. The mower came delivered ready to use (just add gas). The 3-bin bagger was a breeze to attach. After reading the operators manual I was eager to give it a go! The mower started right up after just a few cranks. The engine runs very smooth and is powerful! The turning radius is excellent. The deck is level and cuts well. The 3-bin bagger works like a charm. I'm glad I opted for the 24 horse over the lesser horse power engines I was looking at. No complaints! I'm very pleased so far!

If you buy it on sale its o.k. September 26, 2009
Engine has plenty of power but vibration is an issue. Transmission is great on flat ground but is terrible on slopes. Hi-lift blades leaves certain tall slender grasses. The one plus is this mower has a tighter than normal turning radius. If I had to do it over I would spend $700 bucks more and try a **********.

Lawn EnthusiastWhat vibration mine runs smooth and fairly quiet. September 18, 2009
By CraftsmenOwnerAR
of Paragould, AR
Pros:
GAS LEVEL IS VISABLE NOTE COLOR CHANGE a,RUNS SMOOTH and Fairly QuietHave read cons about.
Gas level not visable thru site area ( if you can not tell It is either milk jug white EMPTY
OR more yellowed looking with fuel.
I THINK it is a 2 or 3 gallon tank. if it looks more like the color of an emty milk-jug add a gal then look at it, you should be able to see the color difference.And now you know you have a gal you might want to mark it with a perminate marker.
Vibration mine is SMOOTH and Fairly Quiet! our old-( Still Working ) 1980 12 1/2 horse V-TWIN Has always been louder compared to this one. at 24 horse
IF yours vibrates you might want to check your blades to make sure they are not bent or loose.
HOOD Metal too thin NO Not for what it is designed to do.If it bounces etc slow down over rougher terrain and or take care and smooth the area out . REMEMBER THIS IS a Yard Tractor not a Farm Tractor

Lawn EnthusiastRead All the reviews before purchasing this tractor! September 08, 2009
By CIngham
of Charlestown, RI
Cons:
Vibration in engine,Hood Metal too thin,Hours gauge doesn't work,Gas level not visible through site areaIn 2003 I purchased a 18.5 hp 36" automatic ride on from Sears. I've had pretty good luck with it until this year when the transmission failed. Fortunately I had an extended warranty and Sears replaced the transmission. While waiting for the parts and repair on that I decided to buy a new one and use the old one for a spare. I chose the YT4000. I had read the reviews about the vibration but figured, "How bad can it be?" When I used the tractor for the first time I noticed it right away. It's not constant but it IS annoying! Also the metal on the hood is so thin (compared to the 2003 model) that the hood bounces up and down and sideways when going over bumps and divots in the lawn. There are now wear marks from all the movement, where the hood lays on the chassis.
The "hours" gauge hasn't worked since day one and also the gas gauge. I filled it up and couldn't see the level through the plastic.
The turning radius is great and the mower does do a nice job on the lawn but the quality of the metal leaves alot to be desired. Sears needs to work on the vibration problem too. It's also got alot of squeak sounds like something needs to be greased - somewhere... I've decided to return this mower and purchase a Husqvarna from my local dealer for a few more hundred dollars than the cost of this mower.
