you're right about Kohler and WRONG about Craftsman

[Fumblerooskies]

Maybe Haize's problem was the engine was not strong enough to carry his load around...
...as opposed to the petite Medic.

[PAmedic]

explain the chainsaw issues then.

maybe he's not cut out for "manly" work

believe me, if its destruct-able I WILL break it. MrsPA says I oughta be a product tester.

my garage is littered w/ the carcasses of broken tools and machinary. An industrial graveyard. The kids avoid it like the plague

[Purple Haize]

PA Yeah coming from someone who USES drugs as opposed to someone who SELLS them I can cut you slack on the Craftsman crack. It USED to be a GREAT product. It is all my Dad bought. Now he won't go near them (I just buy the Yellow Pages and they always seem to work!)
The chain saw just petered out. I bought the same size and engine model (Husqvarna) and it cuts likea champ.
The weedeater was a clearance model and I didn't do my homework so I just chalked it up to You Get What You Pay For.

I sold lawn equipment at the Sears in Lynchburg for four years. These the tractors are made by AYP (American Yard Products) and are the same as tractors sold at many yard product dealers around. Sears usually can offer the best price because of the volume they sell. They don't make much money on these tractors, but they make the big bucks on all the accesories (baggers, trailors, etc.) and service agreements.

I sold them and I would buy one. They are the best value for the money.

Anybody know anything about Troy-bilt? I have one but it was given to me, so I can't complain if they're no good.

[PAmedic]

haven't heard anything bad about Troy-bilt.

really haven't heard much at all either way to be honest

[Hold My Own]

Medic...I bet I treat my tractor worse than yours....oil hasnt been changed in 8 years...it's pretty much glue...hit things weekly and turned it over before.



It's a craftsman and still kickin

Zero radius is next on the list

I'm impressed.

I'm saving for a Kubota w/ loader attachment

I NEED it, for projects and stuff.

troy bilt sucks. my dad had one and it was constantly in the shop. i like cub cadet. but between craftsman and john deere, i would go with craftsman. they have the same engine. it is all about the name for the JD

[LUconn]

dang it!

[bigsmooth]

troy-bilt may be ok. i just know when my dad got his large rider it was a new model and it had so many issues.

I have Troy-Bilt tractor with the Kohler Courage 19 engine.
It runs and cuts as good as anything on the block.

[JDUB]

if you get a kohler engine its gonna run good no matter what brand is stamped on the outside
