I researched numerous lawn tractors earlier this year.  I spoke with friends, neighbors and colleagues to assess the value of the different models.  I even tried a few out to see which ones handled the best.  When all was said and done, the SEARS Craftsman 42" Lawn tractor stood out as one of the...

I purchased this tractor primarliy to use to haul yard debris.  I use it occasionally to mow with.  When I first used it, I hit a rock and broke the Mandrel Housing on the right side blade.  I called Sears up and they came out in a few days and repaired my mower for just a $20.00 house call.  WONDERFUL! ...

This is a fun little tractor to use. It boasts the tightest 16 inch turning radius of all the Craftsman tractors.

The only one that beats it, is this year's new model, zero-turn-radius, Revolution tractor - which is at a considerably HIGHER price point than the LT-2000.

One of the very best accessories for any tractor is some type of trailer.

The store used to have FIVE of these tractors on the floor. We're now down to just the ONE...

You get a whole different perspective, while riding ABOVE it all.

:)

And, should you "find" a rock, stick, tomato cage, it's way better sitting above the blade than walking...

Cutting the grass the easy way with a craftsman 17.5 hp 42 in.deck lawn tractor -ca model.  It could not better. My wife did not want to buy it at first but now i have to get there first to do the mowing. As we get older we sometimes get a bit on the brighter side pushing 65 and not the speed limit, i am willing to admit life gets  easier if you let it - trust your judgement and make life easy.  We can actually mow our yard 3 times on one tank of gas.I can't wait till winter so i can push the snow away and get ready again to mow the  grass again.  Enjoy your yard buy a craftsman mower.  ... review »

I have a Craftsman 18 hp 42" Lawn Tractor. It's been more trouble than it's worth. The headlight assembly has fallen off, the straps holding the mulcher cover on have snapped, the bagger was a waste of money ... and now that the coil wire has literally burned away, I need to now purchase an entire Armature-Magneto assembly. I can't just purchase a $5 coil wire. Nice.

Next time (and it will be soon at this rate) I will purchase a John Deere. I'm done with Craftsman Lawn Equipment.

Thanx for nothing!

My Craftsman 42 in lawn tractor is indestructible. I let my grand kids drive it around the yard often and it never fails to work. I've replaced the blades, had it tuned up by Sears and take fairly good care of it. It doesn't look brand new, but the mowed lawn still looks like a new tractor cut.

Our lawn tractor (big Red) plus all the accessaries are reliable and get the job done in a snap...makes it fun, too!  Nice to know if we need parts or service, Sears is there.  After 4 years, it has never let us down.

Riding mower is perfect. Also, the seat is the best for a bad back. The price was definately worth it, and the service was excellent.
