From the first day that I brought home my new mower I have loved it. Haven't had any problems out of it. Strong motor and real smooth hydrostatic transmission.
I love the Craftsman Garden Tractor, model # GS 6500, except for a couple of oopses. First, the safety switch in the seat. I am not a heavy person, so I had trouble finding the right position for the seat and how to sit so that the thing would not shut off while in motion. Second, Have trouble keeping air in the tires. and Third. immediately after warranty runs out, the pully bracket literally broke. Otherwise it has been dependable and is a workhorse. I use it on my 4 acre farm, not only for mowing , but to haul feed and, like I said for the most part, I love it. Oh, I think I would put a little...

I have owned my Craftsman, 42", riding mower for ten years and it has always given me great service. I hit a stump once and had to get new blades, but I adjusted the mower housing myself from the manual information. I would recommend to anyone getting a new riding mower to buy a Craftsman. There is great support both in the manual and online, as well as a store with parts right nearby. We also have Sears appliances in our home and they have lasted for years without needing repair, but when that occurs we always have online and local people to help us. Good work, Sears!
This is our third Craftsman riding mower in the last 15 years. Someone stole the first one and our Katrina beat up yard finally did the second one in after ten years. We've increased mower size and horsepower each time. This one has saved time cutting our large yard.
I have about 6-7 acres that has to be mowed and I need a tractor that will hold up under all of that weekly and get the job done. Part of my acreage is pasture and uneven ground. I trust Craftsman products and feel this mower will be the one for me.
i used my tractor for several years and was happy with it. worked good cut good.
Easy to maneuver. Parts are easily found. When not working the home service is excellent. Sturdy.
I love my Craftsman Deluxe Yard Tractor. I go riding all around my 1.5 acres, a mowing, hauling stuff in the steel Craftsman trailer and reclaiming over-grown forest area.
With its 46 inch deck, this is one of the most fun and productive Lawn and Garden power tools I own.
It's in a dead-heat with the Craftsman High-wheel Trimmer (nicknamed; The Beast).
My machine is not as powerful as a ground-engaging Craftsman Garden Tractor.
But, it has helped me do WAY more clearing and maintenance work than I could have ever done without it!
Love that "drink-holder", too.
Our Craftsman Riding Mower has been very reliable for many years now and does a great job on the lawn. It just keeps going and going year after year.
Our Craftsman riding lawn tractor runs really well and has not required much
maintenance. It has been very reliable.
I got the Craftsman 1500, had it for over 5 years mowing 2 hilly acres weekly. It's been fantastic, and I must admit I'm not one who takes care of his equipment.
