“Very nice tractor.”

We bought this tractor to take care of our lawn of about 1.25 acres.  It arrived a little late, delivery guys were having a bad day but they did call multiple times to explain being late and when they'd be here.  After a very quick "this is your tractor" monologue from the delivery man and they were...

“My PYT 9000 looks great but has lots of disappointing problems”

I purchased the PYT 9000 Craftsman Professional Lawn Tractor to replace a 12 year old craftsman tractor that needed a lot of work. To begin with, the first time I tried to start this tractor it took at least 2 minutes to start. I found out that the throttle cable was not adjusted correctly and the choke...

“My PYT 9000 doesn't move & three weeks for a service call?”

We purchased our PYT 9000 Memorial Day weekend at our local Sears Hometown Store. It was delivered on June 6th. Although this tractor is very thirsty I like the power and the shortl turning radius. We have about 2 1/2 acres of bumpy, hilly ground to mow. HOWEVER on August 7th with just 10.9 hours of running time the tractor stopped and wouldn't go forward or backwards. I opened the hydostatic relief valve and my wife and I pushed it up the hill and back to the house.

On August 9th I went back to Sears and asked for some help. The people there called for service and they were advised the earliest...

“4 stars”

I am pleased with this mower. However, I'll let you know that it drinks gas. Also if you turn too sharp the front tires have a tendency to slide. It could use a place to put things, not just a drink holder. The turning is like having power steering. It cuts well and the blades are quieter when mowing. Has lots of speed and stamina.

“The PYT 9000. A mule with wheels!!!”

It seems my first review about a week ago never appeared, so here I go again. I bought the PTY 9000 on July 31 of '09. Lucky for me they had one on the showroom floor, so it saved time on waiting for shipping and setup. It's been about 2 weeks, and 20 hours now, and this has got to be the best Craftsman I've ever owned, as I have owned 3 Craftsman’s in the last 25 years. I have about 5 acres and used to mow about 2 of them, but now I've cut and cleaned the other 3 with the PTY 9000 and now keep up all five acres. Long grass? This is not a problem with this mower. It is a MULE with wheels. If...

“So far so good”

I needed to replace my 43 year old John Deere with something that didn't need tinkering all of the time. We searched online to find a mower with enough horsepower to handle our hilly lawn. So far so good - just check your tire pressure before you start ... the tires say inflate to 10 PSI, mine were at 20 PSI.

“PYT 9000 Review”

I purchased my PYT 9000 a month ago and it is a great mower except for a few Quirks. I leveled the deck but when I adjusted the wheels for cutting I ran into a problem. The old DYT 4000 had deck wheels on a pinned sliding shaft. The PYT 9000 has brackets with holes for wheel heigth. When you try to adjust the wheels to #3 setting the wheels hit the deck and won't turn. The safety seat switch is to sensative. You have a problem leaning on a grade and you are mowing on rough terrain the bouncing causes the engine to shut off. If you weigh 300 lbs. it may be OK but that is expensive to keep that weight.... read full review »

Great for large yards. Small turning radius. Easy to start.
