Craftsman LT 2000 20 HP 42" Lawn Tractor (28910) —
I researched online and in stores to help me decided which riding lawn tractor I needed to purchase because I have never owned nor operated one. I purchase my Craftsman LT2000 July 31, 2009 and had it delivered Aug. 4th.
I started the engine and performed the transmission purge and then did a test cut of my back lawn. The tractor was easy to operate. You really don't need the left brake/clutch pedal because the hydrostatic drive transmission lever control gives you full control over speed and forward/reverse direction. After correctly adjusting the front gauge wheels it was almost impossible to scalp the lawn.
My wife also found this tractor very easy to operate. I haven't had any issues with this tractor and don't expect any. The value is very good and the quality is even better. I expect this tractor to last me many years with good maintenance. I purchased the mulch kit (33742) and installed it myself. This kit works really well. I don't have to bag lawn clippings and my lawn looks better than ever! The mulch kit was very easy to install (providing you have a way to lift the front of the tractor).
I have cut my lawn several times with my new LT2000 and found my time working to maintain my lawn has been greatly reduced and I now have more time to speed with my family.
Now I need to purchase the plug aerator to keep my lawn from getting impacted. If you are looking for the first perfect riding lawn mower for yards less than an acre or two; this is your tractor.
