Craftsman 42 in. Precision Cut Plus 20hp Lawn Tractor —

This is my second cutting season using the YS4500. My last mower also a craftsman finally died after 18 years of use on my 3/4 acre hilly property surrounded by very large oak trees. This mower, with its hydrostatic drive (I don't know how I ever lived without it) and tight turning radius makes mowing a joy and I get done a lot sooner too. Since driving this mower is just like driving a car with no levers needed to switch speeds or go into reverse, everyone in the family volunteers to mow now. Needless to say I'm very happy with this purchase.
