Craftsman 21 hp 46 in. Deck, YS 4500 Lawn Tractor —

I purchased this tractor on July 7th and cut my lawn twice. Here is hoping your lawn is even without any anthills or you will be purchasing blades every cut. The clutch is sensitive and will jerk you if you are not careful. It appears that the tractors construction is sound but it is too early to tell. As I have mentioned the blades appear to be of very poor quality and of course not covered.
