- I also bought that tractor as did a friend of mine. Actually, he bought a new
- one and I bought a reconditioned one (one that somebody bought and returned).
- I bought it near the end of the summer and my store had many of them. Some
- looked "used" and some looked "new".
-
- It works very well and is easy to operate and maintain. My only discovery is
- this. If your lawn is uneven, you won't get a smooth cut. The deck is 42"
- wide and when one side of wheels goes over a lump, that side of the deck raises
- and cuts the grass very tall. The next pass may be level, cutting the grass
- shorter. The line where the 2 passes meet will be noticable because of the
- taller grass from the first pass.
-
- Sears sells a whole line of attachments for it. snow blowers, snow plows,
- tillers, spreaders, aerators, carts, rollers, sprayers....
