Just bought a craftsman zero turn. Have been pleased with it so far. Haven't had any trouble with it and it mows beautifully. I've used it twice and am finally getting the hang of the zero turn controls. It saves a lot of time and has cut down on my hand mowing and weed whipping.

Bought on 5/8/2010. With fully charged battery does not start. Have tried every week when I mow the lawn to start. It cranks for over 30 seconds without starting. Have to spray starting fluid. I followed directions. After mowing for 20 min. I can stop and start right up but not after it sits for a week. Called customer service and I had do some tests. Naturally it would start because I just mowed the lawn and motor was hot. Then I got "we can send a technician out but if it's not warranty you pay" But they sure want you to buy a service agreement for 600.00+. I have purchased many Sears lawnmowers, This is the last. Oh yeah Ordered a mulch kit. 60.00 for a piece of plastic! It's on backorder. Ordered 5/10/2010. Given a ship date of 5/31 now July 1. The mower itself mows pretty good.

mowing the lawnI bought my ZTR Fall of 2009 on sale + extended warranty. Mower will not cut even one side higher than other even after two service calls. Now Sears tell me there is nothing wrong with the cut and I have a slope to my yard ( 18" in 75' slope ) Also the battery does not charge during use I get about two cuttings and battery is dead and has to be charged to even turn the engine over and service replaced battery and said that was the problem, but its still not fixed. My last mower was a 25 year old Dixon that I never had a problem with the cut even on slopes. Spent around 400 to 500 on warranty and they will not stand behind it. Looking back I would buy an other Dixon. ( and nothing from sears )
mowing the lawnWorks well and fast cutting compared to regular lawn tractor.
I took mine back after getting stuck 4 times in 20 minutes. It does not like slopes of any kind. I've driven other ZTR mowers and this mower is definitely of lesser quality. I went back to a lawn tractor with more HP. Very disappointed in this product!
