Just got my craftman with 48" deck, not the bigger 54". It was a ball cutting grass. I had an old 40" Murray that was 12 years old with lots of hours. The B&S still runs but the rest of the deck was falling apart.
The new mower came with a Kohler courage 26 hp. I know that is their bottom end motor but maybe it will be as good as the B&S.
For 2400 $ I think it was a good deal. The spindles have zerks which the JD and other brands did not have and the hst will handle ground implements which the cheaper JD and other brands would not. Anyway I will have to lay the 10-10-10 out this year so I will have something to do.
