Craftsman 20 hp 42 in. Deck Yard Tractor —
I bought the tractor on 2-11-09. And so far so good. The reasons I bought it is because...
1. It has a powerful Kohler engine ( Which better is than better than B&S by a long shot )
2. It has a 42in. twin blade cutting deck with the 4 gauge wheels which are very helpful from scalping the yard.
3. It has a 6 speed which is better than a hydrostatic because they have to many problems so why pay a extra $200.
This Tractor is very powerful. We have 2 1/2 acres to mow but the front is the worst. I can cut grass a foot high without bogging it down and cut every bit of it. I bought a double bar bumber for it about a week ago and it only took about 2 minutes to put it on.
This is the second Crafsman mower we have ever had and the first was a 12 1/2HP and it lasted a long time. I hope its the same with this one. And when it finally breaks down I'm gon'a get me another one.
This is a great mower, and I will coninue to buy stuff from Sears as long as I can.
