She's Red, Automatic... & I bought her...

Re: She\'s Red, Automatic... & I bought her...

John,
Looking at the picture, she looks a little different then the MW. On the MW the lever on the left side is for speed. Goes from 1-7, and brake is there too. Forward, reverse, and neutral are in the middle under the steering wheel.

I've got 2 geared tractors now, but I got pretty good with the shifting. Still not like the Hydro on my TC21. My tractors both have a high, and low range lever. Used for mostly garden use. Pulling stuff. I've never had either of them in Low range. I couldn't do without a garden tractor around here. The flower beds, and banks. I'd never try to take my TC21 on some of the hills, that I take my Wheelhorse, and Sears. Enjoy your new toy. I like the "automatic" idea. Kent

The deck doesn't look anything like the two AYP products we've bought in the last 5 years - one Sears 46" and one Ranch King 50"(Quality F&F). AYP decks are more curved and rounded on the top. It does however look an awful lot like the MTD decks on the MTD and Yardman machines sold around here.

As a matter of fact, it looks EXACTLY like my MTD Yard Machine I bought last year except mine is green. Same seat, same shifter, same deck, same steering wheel, same cowling, same key, same PTO lever, same pedals, same everything. Got mine at Lowe's. I also got a bargain, a 17HP, 42" deck, reg. price $1238.00, closeout $812.00. Works pretty good too. My wife has claimed it, since she won't get on the 8N.

The snow blower is on year 8 and the LT is on year 4. NEVER any problems with EITHER ONE! Gerard

Gonna have to agree with Gerard on this one. Lotsa folks really don't like MTD, but I've had nothing but good luck with mine. In 3 and a half years I've had no problems at all. Only thing I do is change the oil every year. And I mow roughly 1.5 acres once every two to three weeks from April through November, in extremely dusty conditions, tall weeds, etc. Even takes down small brush with no problem. Starts every time and I'm happy with it.
