Craftsman mower problem

Oh I'm sorry....walk behind....call it what you want....I've always called them push mowers b/c no matter what at some point you end up pushing.

Well, it's obvious you've never used a walkbehind mower -- pushing isn't an option, unless you are on a smooth concrete surface.

If I need to use my yard cart, dethatcher, or aerator, would I have to hook them to the back of a sulky on a walk behind?

If you want to use attachments, you may consider a BSC 2-wheeled tractor.

Now that is an interesting beast. Except Italians are more known for romance than building long lasting quality machinery. Also, a 13 HP commercial BCS with sulky and 38" mower would run me $5847.00, about the cost of a new high end Cub Cadet GT3100 tractor with 60" deck- nice cushy seat and power steering to boot for my lazy butt

As the owner of two 1960s vintage Vespas, I'm both offended and in complete agreement with your statement.

;D

Somehow I knew you'd see that comment Al LOL! I used to work on a few printing presses made by a company called OMSCA out of Italy. When they ran, they were like Ferraris. When they broke down, the real fun began I think our maintenance department had logged more hours on those presses repairing them than the operators logged running them.

Read the last part of your statement closely....you still end up pushing.

Apparently you didn't understand that trying to push it is not easy (it weighs over 500 lbs.) ... similar to trying to PUSH your riding mower. Same thing.

Right....exactly why I do not want one. I'm sure they are great for some folks but not for me.

Here's something you could never do with a walk behind mower:

He even cuts it when it's not the growing season? From October 15 through April 15, the grass in Florida doesn't grow much.

He cut it xmas day when I gave it to him and every week since. He cuts the front one day and the back a different day. If something is in his way he will cut around it and leave a message for me to move it, Then he comes back and recuts the yard so its all the same height. My black lab will run in front of him picking up all her toys, cause he will run them over. Funniest thing you ever seen, two tennis balls in her mouth and then sees her frisbee in his path,she runs over drops the balls gets the fribee to safety then gets back saves one ball, he runs over the other one with a thud, she barks at him then poops right in the gate way where he has to run over it to get out of the back yard.He tries to watch out for her toys now.
