GT6000 capabilities / questions

[Bota4me]

I own the older style gt6000 and it is a great mower but has limits I found out.
I blew the rear end out trying to pull a couple small logs. Traction is a problem plowing also. I would look elsewhere if you want to do more than mow and pull a cart, the twin b s runs great still tho! Hope this helps.

I have owned this Craftsman GT 6000 2011 model since August 2011 I mowed with it then took off deck and Snow Plowed with it and now mowing and tried to do garden work with it. The only problem I seem to have is the Steering, My wheels now point in opposite directions. Sears warranty service came out yesterday and installed new Spindles that I got from Warranty service parts also a new drive belt a new Mowing deck Mandrill all under warranty. Great but problem still remains. Front wheels are toed in or out but not straight. I understand that this is a real issue with this model that needs to be corrected. From what I can see, steering front end has no adjustment and is not really heady duty at all. I will now call Service again and ask for a expert? on such matters. I must add service dept was wonderful, when I asked for a new Engine to Transmission belt they sent the whole new $750 transmission wow no wonder they have no profit
