Craftsman YTS 4500 —
the price was what made the sale for me, the features it had with the reverse mowing helped alot. the adjustable seat really sold the mower.
it was raining when I got it home, so put it in the shed and went out next day and it didn't start. read the manual and called repair and set up appointment. They came almost immediantly, and had to replace the battery. A new mower and had to replace the battery. I thought that was odd. but that was in some of the reviews I had read, and thought that it couldn't happen to me too. but it did.
other than that, i've had no problems with it. there is alot of power to get used to. I have pulled some heavy loads with it and not even stressed the engine. I do have problems not able to push pedals in far enough sometimes to start it. But I am a woman so that is probably and I have short legs. The pedals are stiff. The gas tank is ackward to pour gas into and you have to be very careful when putting gas into it.
It is a very good mower and cuts grass nicely. I would buy it again if I had it to do over again. owned for a year now.
