Pros: Price was right, warranty is good, design, ease of handling, up keep is easy. Cons: none so far.

The specific model number under this 27000 series is: 917.270813 and we have now had our Craftsman™ Lawnmower since 1999 and it is still going strong! We have used it to pull roots from the ground, drag trees to the...
Pros: Easy to use, less work than a push mower! Cons: Noisy, chute tends to jam with wet or damp grass.
Well, I finally decided I had it with my regular lawn mower! I purchased a Toro, (bad idea), about a year ago, and it broke down for the fifth time. This time the motor was no good, and they wanted $350 just to replace the Briggs & Stratton engine....
Pros: Store stands behind product Cons: Disastrous service experience
I want to amend my previous review of this Craftsman lawn tractor to a very strong AVOID. Oddly, the Briggs & Stratton engine failed after only 8-10 hours of use. I had to wait for many days to get a Sears technician out to look at it, then he had to...
Pros: Large powerful Briggs and Stratton engine Cons: Design of Front Axle, and attendant parts
I bought this mower to replace a aging Murray (18) year old. The only major parts to be replaced on the Murray was the deck assembly and the Fuel tank.
From the start this tractor has been pure Junk. The first day I used the tractor I had to...
Pros: 20 hp Briggs motor runs like a champ. Fires up and off you go. Cons: 42 mulch deck with mulch blades plug up far to often.
I purchased this mower about 3 months ago and paid $1800 which included tax and the bumper.
I mow approx 2 plus acres with this machine mostly level. The 2 gallon fuel tank is just enough to finish the job. Being the blades run at full speed it is...
Pros: Cheap, Excellent customer service, Powerful 16.5hp engine, automatic tranny, 3-n-1 grass chute Cons: no bump wheels on mower deck
I shopped around for sometime before committing to the craftsman mower, and i love this tractor. The 3-n-1 deck is perfect, you can mulch bag or shoot the grass out all over the lawn if you wish. The 16.5 hp engine is very powerfull but it is loud. The...
Pros: Excellent grass cut, lots of power, tight turning radius, available attachments Cons: none that I can think of
The Craftsman #27073 is a real winner of a lawn tractor. With the power of a Briggs and Stratton 17 horsepower Intek engine featuring overhead valves for cooler running and better fuel economy, I found it very easy to plow through even the tallest and...
Pros: Easy to use with the automatic transmission. Cons: Can't think of any. Great mower for the price.
I bought the Craftman LTX 1000. It is gold in color and it has a cast iron axle. It also came with the deluxe padded steering wheel and the electric PTO. I must say it is a lot easier to drive because all you have to do is pull back on the handle to...
Pros: well built, smooth ride, automatic Cons: sluggish in heavy grass pulling yard broom
Ok. Here is the scoop on craftsman riding mowers. I have a 16.5hp kohlor motor automatic driven mean grass cutting machine. Well I love mine. The automatic transmission is critical. The ease of going between forward and reverse in incredable. The...
Pros: Plenty of power to get the job done! Cons: Your probably gonna need to get a maintenance agreement.
Bought this mower in the summer of 2000. Great buy, got a good deal on it, they delivered it, it never so much as hesitated to take down the grass in my yard. Along comes the summer of 2001, I am expecting yet another year of great service from my...
I moved onto five ac. in the hills, were there was about 4 ac. of weed. I needed something to cut the weeds. I bought the craftsman 42 inch lawn tractor 27000 series, with the 19.5 hp and the automatic trans. I mowed the 4 ac. in 1 1/4 days. The ground...
I'm on my 2nd Craftsman lawn tractor: 14.5 horsepower with a 42 inch deck. For the money, you can't beat the Sears product. It lacks some of the features of a Deere, but who REALLY wants to spend $2,000 to cut his grass?
Pros: Good value, Fairly durable Cons: Poor performer on hills (scalping), Brakes lock over time
In general, I agree with the other opinions listed and do recommend this mower overall. I have, however, had a number of problems with this mower after nearly 4 years of use that I'd like to mention.
Pros: Powerful, dependable machine. Cons: Won't handle two acres proficiently.
When my husband and I purchased our home on two acres, we needed new lawn equipment since we'd left our old with his dad back in another state. Because I had purchased many Craftsman products over the years, I urged my husband to go with Craftsman...
