I bought this mower in June 2008 after my 9 year old MTD went out of commission. My neighbor had just purchased this mower and I borrowed it while I waited on a part for my MTD. I liked the mower so much I bought one the following week! The mower starts smoothly and cuts evenly. I recommend the deluxe... review »

I purchased this tractor in September of 2007. Consumer Reports rated it very high for its mowing capabilities. I COMPLETELY agree with this rating for this mower cuts the grass VERY evenly. I can not say enough good things about the appearance of the lawn after mowing. The motor always starts quickly... review »

I love this lawn mower. It starts easily, cuts nice. Cuts rocks really well too with the extra horsepower. I highly reccommend this mower. I only wish I could keep both headlights working. One is always vibrating loose.

Purchased this machine in 2006 particularly for the hydrostatic transmission. I have paid for the service tech to come out and do the annual tune up/maintenance, and that and gas are the only money I have spent on this machine. It cuts flawlessly every time. No issues with stretching belts, as someone noted previously. I hit the occasional stump, rock, tree root and have never broken a blade or the deck. I am not quite certain what the other reviewers are talking about with the clutch, I never use the clutch. I simply slide the transmission lever forward or back. The only time I manipulate the... review »

Despite its low price compared to other highly-rated lawn tractors, this is a quality product. I purchased mine a year ago on the strength of its Consumer Reports Best Buy status -- it was the number 3 machine overall, and FAR cheaper than any of the other top ten machines. The mower is easy to use, has great engine access, and seems solidly constructed. My only two suggestions: first, the mulching kit ought to come by default; it was a mild pain to switch the blades, but worth it; second, the hood rattles a good deal, so rubber inserts would be a great improvement to minimize vibration noise.... review »

I bought this tractor in May and have had no trouble with it at all. It starts quickly, it mows even, it has plenty of power, and I got it for $1400.00 including tax. I have read some reviews that say they have problems with the clutch, but there is no clutch its an automatic. Some say you need to buy heavy duty blades. So I checked it out and the precision cut plus mowing deck comes with the heaviest blades craftsman has. I also compared them to blades on other makes and are equal. But if you check the blades on some of the lesser craftsman model decks they have thinner blades. So do some home... review »

This is my first rider. I've had it over a year now and mow 3 acres at a time. It's never given me any problems and has plenty of power. I've bent the blades twice but both times were on hidden tree roots so that's to be expected. I pull a small trailer with it and have pulled over 500lbs with it. The hydrostatic drive worked fine. I wouldn't suggest that on a regular basis though.

We replaced a 15 year old cub cadet with this tractor. The pre-delivery was terrible. Packing material not removed, tires at wrong pressure, loose bolts, deck not adjusted. I thought about refusing it, but took it home anyway. Spent 4 hours going over every inch of the machine and doing everything that should have been done before we picked it up. The machine runs flawlessly, starts immediately every time. We use it for our yard, for vacant lots that we own, and have no problems whether the grass is a few inches high, or a few feet high. It is highly manuverable and seems well-made.

broken after running it for 3 minutes. first one of the headlamps was not connected (great product control) turned mower off to check why the light wouldn't work. connected light and went to restart it and it would not start strong fuel smell from exhaust only after sitting for a minute let it sit for 10 minutes came back and found fuel dripping from carb. the longer it sits the more fuel leaking from carb. returning to store in the morning.

Bought this last year, and it is great. It makes sharp turns, easy to use, starts right up after cold winter, hydrostatic automatic transmission is GREAT, I could never go back to a normal one. It works ok to pick up leaves, you pretty slow to pick them all up or just go over it twice. Great lawn mower.... Another perk is the cup holder.

Best tractor for the money! Why spend so much on a name brand when you can get the same cut the same comfort and the same quality in a craftsman. I wouldn't buy anything else.
