Deck, YS 4500 Lawn Tractor http://www.mysears.com/Craftsman-21-hp-46-in-Deck-YS-4500-Lawn-Tractor-review-5ebb I like my mower. Only problem I've had is that the mowing deck is too low. Even at level 6 it's only about 4" off the ground. Sears needs to fix the design....

I have paid for the service tech to come out and do the annual tune up/maintenance, and that and gas are the only money I have spent on this machine. It cuts flawlessly every time. No issues with stretching belts, as someone noted previously. I hit the occasional stump, rock, tree root and have never broken a blade or the deck. I am not quite certain what the other reviewers are talking about with the clutch, I never use the clutch. I simply slide the transmission lever forward or back. The only time I manipulate the clutch/brake pedal is to stop/park the machine when getting off of it. Otherwise all of my driving is done by the hand lever. It does everything I have asked it to do and has put up with my abuse, without a hitch. There have been no breakages, nothing to repair. It has exceeded my expectations in this regard. I really have nothing negative to say and would buy one again in a heartbeat....

It starts easily, cuts nice. Cuts rocks really well too with the extra horsepower. I highly reccommend this mower. I only wish I could keep both headlights working. One is always vibrating loose....

My neighbor had just purchased this mower and I borrowed it while I waited on a part for my MTD. I liked the mower so much I bought one the following week! The mower starts smoothly and cuts evenly. I recommend the deluxe or plus deck with four wheels. It hugs the ground but easily goes over contours in the lawn thus keeping the blades in contact with the grass. I heard that this mower is slow in backup mode but I have not found that to be the case. The chair sits nice and high and it handles well including turns. It has plenty of power. This is my first mower with a Kohler engine and I am pleasantly surprised. Liek all products they only last as long as you care for them and maintain them. This mower is definitely a good buy especially for someone as picky about their lawn as I am....

It makes sharp turns, easy to use, starts right up after cold winter, hydrostatic automatic transmission is GREAT, I could never go back to a normal one. It works ok to pick up leaves, you pretty slow to pick them all up or just go over it twice. Great lawn mower.... Another perk is the cup holder....

It cuts real good and runs the smoothest of any mower I have owned. It cranks right up and the power steering is a plus. Cant say enough about the auto transmission, well worth the cost. My only regret is not waiting for a new shippment of the 3 bin baggers, got a 2 bin instead. Still worth the money over-all....

Consumer Reports rated it very high for its mowing capabilities. I COMPLETELY agree with this rating for this mower cuts the grass VERY evenly. I can not say enough good things about the appearance of the lawn after mowing. The motor always starts quickly and shuts off nicely. The motor does surge at first, but quickly evens out. Some of these mowers were returned to my Sears store due to more noticeable surge problems. The hydrostat runs smoothly whether mowing or dethatching. One concern I have about the hydrostat is with the belt that connects the motor to the hydrostat. I noticed the tractor really slowing down this spring of 2008 compared to when I used it briefly in the fall of 2007. Since the mower has a 2 year warranty, I had Sears visit the mower to look at this and a few other concerns. The Sears mechanic said the belt probably stretched. I was really surprised to hear a belt would stretch after only mowing a few times in Oct last......

It starts quickly, it mows even, it has plenty of power, and I got it for $1400.00 including tax. I have read some reviews that say they have problems with the clutch, but there is no clutch its an automatic. Some say you need to buy heavy duty blades. So I checked it out and the precision cut plus mowing deck comes with the heaviest blades craftsman has. I also compared them to blades on other makes and are equal. But if you check the blades on some of the lesser craftsman model decks they have thinner blades. So do some home work when buying your tractor. One final note these Craftsman tractors are made by Husqvarna to Sears specifications....

I've had it over a year now and mow 3 acres at a time. It's never given me any problems and has plenty of power. I've bent the blades twice but both times were on hidden tree roots so that's to be expected. I pull a small trailer with it and have pulled over 500lbs with it. The hydrostatic drive worked fine. I wouldn't suggest that on a regular basis though.... Fri, 04 Jul 2008 18:45:02 GMT http://www.mysears.com/Craftsman-21-hp-46-in-Deck-YS-4500-Lawn-Tractor-review-9528 sears-feed 4
