“Do not get this garden tractor”

Pros
Great lawn mower

Craftsman DGS6500 Garden Tractor — 

I purchasted this garden tractor (GDS 6500 now a DG 500)  April of last year. At 2.5 hours the electric clutch locked up and I couldn't disengaged the blades. It took Sears about 2 monthsl to get it fixed. This clutch costs about $500.00 each. I also bought a disk harrow (which costs about $1000.00 with the lift) to cultivate a small area to plant seeds for my bees. The electric clutch quit working again this year witih 30 hours on the tractor. The tractor WILL NOT be capable of working  a garden. The service is terrible. It takes about 2 months to get it fixed. It is a lawn mower. Not a garden tractor!! It wil not do as advertised.

I have a 2006 DGS 6500 with 26hp Briggs and it has performed flawlessly! I use it to cut grass[54" deck] with a landscape rake and snowplowing. I have wheel weights and chains and it really pushes sow and is awesome cutting grass. I love it.
