I've had the mower for a couple months now and have put over 12 hours with no problems.It was hard to decide which brand to buy .Everything I mow is on flat ground with lots of bushes and trees so I don't have the strain of slopes. So far it's been real fun> I now mow my neighbors yards just for the...

“Turning problems, poor mulching”
Iowa--Guy
Marion, IA
The tires spin so much that I can't make good turns, let alone zero turn radius turns.
The mulching kit is an add on... and it doesn't work well. Mulching is poor at best, then turns terrible as your blades dull.
Frankly, I wish I had spent more and bought a **********.

Good Machine, cut my cut times by 1/3. But I cut my grass once a week and this thing goes through a fifty dollar set of blades just about as fast as it does gas. Make sure you grease the front end at least every 4 cuts and pack it good. It is kind of a pain to change the blades, the machine doesn't "stand up" all that great. If you sears store assembles the machine, recheck all the bolts holding up the deck, I lost a couple of them after the first cut and one side of the deck fell. Haven't had to call for any service yet (had it 6 months).
I looked and looked at Zero Turn mowers for months before finally deciding on the Craftsman ZTS. I'm very happy with the purchase to this point. It is extremely quick and easy to handle. The only draw back I have at this point, is I wish the seat had more cushion and better springs. It does a great job of cutting our 5 acres.
Bought this for my yard and as a possible back up to several commercial units, and it keeps up with them in the short run. The jury is still out as far as longevity. The controls are a bit more sensitive than I was used to, but with time and practice, got use to the.
Surprisingly quiet, as mowers go. Even cut and solid performance.
Had a bit of trouble turning, and digging into the sod, but with practice, again, problem resolved.
Bought the 2006 model and save +$300. Worth the money for a 2-4 acre yard, but anything bigger, go commercial.
I recognized that a lot of people could not purchase the blades but I found that if you look online by your model number and go into the type of mower deck you have, you can find the replacement blades quite easily. It does look like they messed up when making the manual because there is an A between the numeric portion and the Alpha portion according to the breakdown online vs. the breakdown in my manual. Just a useful tip.
We purchased the 50" ZTR Mower 3 months ago. Initially, we were very pleased with the mowing experience. The problem came when we needed new blades. Sears does not carry them and evidently can not or will not find them for their customers! I made them sell me the blades off the demo on the floor. I agree the blades do wear out quickly. The mower isn't very good without them. Until they learn to stock required parts, I do not recommend buying this mower.
This has been the best purchase I have ever made. My wife was wanting to move so that when I retired we would have a much smaller yard to mow. I did not want to move, so, I thought and thought and compared the prices and features of all the available models of zero turn mowers. I finally decided on the Craftsman model, and now my wife is not clammering to move! In fact, she is the one who does all the mowing, (we have an acre to mow, and lots of trees and other obstacles to mow around). She gets it done in a very short time, and spins around the yard, while I sit and enjoy a cold drink. And, then...

My Wife and I love our mower, it's the best Zero Turn mower for the price that we have ever owned! This mower is very user friendly, actually (no offense) but my Wife cuts our lawn and loves to use this mower just as much as I do. We have 5 acres and using this mower reduces our cutting time significantly, allowing for more free family time!! All I can really say is that we absolutely love it!! And that we would definitely reccmmend this mower to anyone and everyone that's looking to purchase a great zero turn mower for a really reasonable price.
So I buy the zero turn, I'm happy as a clam. BUT all is not well in zero turn land. Shortly after getting the tractor I need a new blade! Oh-NO! I think. What will I do? "It's okay", my beautiful wife, Stevena says. "Just go to your local Sears store and purchase a new blade". Yay! I think. As quickly as I was angry, I was happy. My Zero turn and I would be B.F.F.'s again!!! So I go to my local Sears store to purchase a blade, when I get greeted by the greatest store employee ever, Robert. "How can I help you" He asks. "Well..." I explain that I need a new blade. But no, the blades I yearned for...

I look at so many lawn tractors. From Toro's to Gravely's. The Craftsman quick radius lawn tractor has the best built, easiest to use,
and best looking lawn tractor available on the market. I studied the others for about 2 weeks, never found one with everything I was looking for. Almost bought one of those because I was tired of looking. Then I decided to check out the craftsman. And boy,
was I glad I did. It had everything I was looking for, from a wide 50 inch cut, controls at my finger tips, easy start (even a woman can start it, main thing I was looking for), sharp turning, great power, looks...

Zero turning radius, nifty. Be a bit cautious when driving however, this is not the riding mower of the 1980's. The turning radius and the speed plus pure power of the thing made my large lawn a breeze, after I learned how to control it of course.
THIS IS A WONDERFUL ZERO TURN, IF ANYONE IS IN THE MARKET FOR A ZERO TURN MOWER, YOU NEED NOT GO ANY FATHER THAN THIS ONE.
I really like this mower, I would recommend it to anyone who has a big lawn, I can cut my yard in half the time & can move around the trees with ease.
