great mower ,however didnt like paying 160.00 for the mulching kit and blades, really didnt like it when i found out the kit is only a plug for the hole ,no blades, the blades that come with it when you buy the mowing are the only ones the fit it so i had a fit and they gave me another set of blades on the house which is great and with the protection agreement plan you cant go wrong.these power house machines save you alot of time
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.
I PURCHASED A ZT 7000 2 YRS AGO NOTHING BUT ONE BIG HEADACHE! AFTER 3 HRS OF USE THE DRIVE BELT COMES OFF IN APRIL ,THE SERVICE MAN COULD GET HERE TO FIX FOR A MONTH AND A HALF. THEN AFTER 24 HRS OF USE I HAD THE MOWER BLADES CAME APART IN SMALL PIECES FROM THE ENDS. THE DRIVE BELT CAME OFF TWICE MORE THAT SAME SUMMER. I ALWAYS THOUGHT CRAFTSMAN PRODUCTS WERE RELIABLE AND ECONOMICAL. I KNOW BETTER NOW .
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 fun of it and for the stress release. No doubt the zero turn is the way to go .
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.
I purchased last years model, and the only thing they changed is the only thing else i would have wanted. They now have an electric motor to raise and lower the deck......super nice compared to the one i have. i would highly recommend this tractor, very easy to cut, steer and use. I only wish they took trade-ins! lol
I help around the house everyday. I do not do the lawn. But I am a proud owner of our Craftsman lawn mower. We have had only 2 mowers in our entire marriage and both were of outstanding value and truely reliable. I strongly recommend a Craftsman mower if you want the best quality for your dollar!
Sorry, but I have had nothing but problems. This thing is a lemon!! I have replaced three belts, a pully system, three wheels and several sets of blades!!
I know my conditions here are not perfect, but come on!!
I am contimuaLLY MORE AND MORE DISSATISFIED WITH CRAFTSMAN PRODUCTS!!
FAST, FAST, FAST! We have a few acres of mowing and our new Craftsman ZTS 7500 does it in half the time. I could not be happier! Responsive to every move, we have small trees and yard ordainments to maneuver around and now I have no trouble at all. Happy Mowing!
I used my 7500 for the first time is weekend. Was a little more sensitive at slow speeds then I expected but after a little practice no problem. In the open was very easy to handle. Cut my mowing time in half. Did a much better job then my old one. LOVE IT
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.
I have had this mower for a year and a half and use it commercially. It has 1,000 hours on it and still runs great. I only replaced the belts and changed oil etc, regular maintenance. Its been tipped twice too and only got some minor scratches.
I cannot believe the ease and comfort of this machine. It performs great and cut my mowing time by 50 percent. Also, it mows so fast, I used 50 percent of the gas as normal. The ZTR 7500 is the best mower for the dollar. I love my new ZTR.
This has been a great investment for me. I have had "zero" concerns in the 120+ hours of ownership. My only issue has been that I had to track down mulching blades myself, Sears did not offer them.
