Craftsman Riding Lawn Tractor Review Summary

Sears Craftsman makes great tools and the Craftsman Riding Lawn Tractor is one of several different riding lawn mowers produced by this manufacturing giant. Reviewers like the Sears Craftsman name; the mower’s ability to cut through grass and weeds; and the relatively low priced when compared to other riding lawn mowers. “Craftsman is a Name You Can Trust. Everything Sold is Great”, says one satisfied customer, and another reviewer follows with the quote “Strong and Durable”. There have been a few who have voiced their concerns relating to the engineering of the Craftsman Riding Lawn Tractor, but the overall rating of this lawn tractor places it above the average for most a href=/Garden-Outdoor>Garden- Outdoor tools and with a name like Sears Craftsman, it can be counted on for at least a minimal level of quality.

Craftman Rider Mower.  

This rider mower is great. It is a company you can trust everything sale is good. I never had any problem mine.  Really think easy to use. And the price tag is that bad for what you getting.

If had 100 choices on which rider mower to get. Regards if the other one in the store...

Bought a Craftsmen Garden Tractor because thought it would be heavy duty and not need so much repair.  We find that the serpentine belts break twice a year, suggesting that the pulleys need to be better aligned so wear on belts is lessened. Mower blades need to be engineered to throw grass out the shoot... read full review »

To begin with,  I am not sure where to direct this to.  I just want to tell a little story.
I purchased a garden tractor model (#917.25750) with a 42 inch mower,  and a 39 inch rotary snowblower model (#917.253350)  in the year of 1973. (Best tractor Sears ever came out with.)  Now  35 years later thay are all still in operation. It is such a shame that those who changed the design (in particular the snowblower attachment)  to the mickey mouse ideas of todays snow thrower attachments. Don't get me wrong the mower decks are ok. The snow throwers are for the most part in question.  One almost...

I've owned 2 Craftsman Professional Garden Tractors.  One was a 2008 that lasted 20 minutes, the other a 2009 that lasted 90 mins.  I have always liked Craftsman products so I was excited about my first purchase.  It was the clearance/floor model, 27 hp Kohler, 54" deck Pro Garden Tractor.  The biggest, heaviest duty one they had.  It threw a pulley in under 20 mins.  Probably a minor problem with a loose nut, but paying nearly 3grand for it and something happening that soon I told them to come pick it up.  I had a new one (2009) out within 2-3 days.  I find out that the electric deck lift...

when i looked at the stars to rate my craftsman riding mower, my first impulse was to give 4 stars.  4 stars is outstanding and thats a really good rating.  but then i realized my mower is nearly 20 years old and still running like new!  my parents bought each of their 3 children a craftsman 38" riding mower, and bought themselves a 42" at the same time.  is that fantastic parents, or what?  we mow about an acre and a half--part of it on a fairly steep hill.  the mower is simple to understand, the buttons and gears are in places that make sense; my only problem is because i'm five foot two,...

This lawn tractor was the answer to our very large, on a slope, yard. With my husband's bad knee and sore feet this was the best Fathers day gift by far. It preforms beautifully - the hard bag grass catcher works well and is very easy to empty. Looking forward to aquiring more attachments....hint to Santa...

I am reviewing a Craftsman Riding Lawn Tractor.  I purchased the riding lawn tractor from my local Sears store.  The salesman was very helpful and knowledgeable.  I was checking all the different features on the models in stock.  I lifted up the hood, checked the access to spark plug, oil filter, battery, ets.  When I knelt down and started to look under the deck, the salesman walked over to offered his assistance.  I guess he was a little taken back, since I am female.  I love to cut the grass and maintain the yard, and my husband wanted me to get what I was comfortable with.  The Craftsman...

My Craftsman 26hp garden tractor has all of the power that I need. I use it not only for  mowing, but also for pulling a Agri-Fab 26 bushel chipper/lawn vac, yard clean-up and and pulling a cart loaded with fireplace wood. I also purchased the dozer blade for the tough winters we sometimes have in northern Michigan. I have not any problems with this machine. I bought the Craftsman 54" Garden Tractor last year just in time for the fall season and I could not be more pleased with my purchase. My lawn looks even due to the tuned 3 blade mower deck. The lawn doesn't have the ridges that are common... read full review »

We bought our Craftsman lawn tractor 12 years ago.  It never needs repair!  It is a work horse and we are so satisfied with Craftsman products.  Would think of buying nowhere else buy Sears for our tools.  We do take care to perform simple maintenance on it after each use (washing off with water hose above and under, keeping it inside the garage) and a simple yearly maintenance, but that is minor stuff.

My Craftsman Riding Mower with 26 hp Kohler engine and 50" deck is a dream.  It cuts nearly half an acre in 35 minutes.  Up and down hills, around obstacles, no problems.  If you thinking about a rider, look no further.

I've had my Sears lawn tractor for 15 years and it has had very few repairs.  Only normal maintenance,  starter solenoid and  two batteries.  Got my money's worth out of it.
