I'll have to agree with what everyone said.

A lot of people in my neighborhood use Craftsman as there is a sears that is less than a half mile away. I occasionally check out the riding tractors that they offer and can't believe that there is what seems to be thicker steel on my hood than the mowing decks of them and how expensive they are. I've also never liked the vaccuming sound they make when they are mowing.

Kids growing up around me had tractors that were manual and I sure missed the hydrostat when they would let me drive them. (not trying to start a hydro/gear war here)

Dad also used to haul us around on our wagons when he was mowing too. He had a clevis that would go in the handle of the radio flyer wagon, or we would ride in the trailer he had made for it. It was worse when we went from the front to the back yards because "there is too much stuff back here" for us to continue following (IE swings, trees, etc.)and dad would reach back, pull out the drawbar pin and leave us sitting there as he drove away.


Good times.
