This was sooo helpful especially unplugging the wire so you can get off the mower with it still running and you don't have to push the button for reverse. I just mowed with it for the 3rd time and I really like it. I do wish it had a more comfortable seat. Tough with a bad back. Thanks so much!
This video and your others on the T100 great - thanks. How has the Craftsman mower been holding up? Two very different mowers designed for different jobs really. The ExMark is a commerical mower while the Craftsman is a residential use mower. To the point of the other commenter, the ExMark will last a very long time just by it's very construction and quality of parts - the Kawasaki engine is definitely superior to the Briggs. Here is the thing though - does a homeowner cutting an acre or two really need a commercial mower? In my opinion, not really. This is where the residential mower is best suited - small yards.
Nice review. I’m looking at buying one at Lowe’s since it looks my yard guy is cutting me loose. Looks like you are in South Florida from the plants, What did yours cost back before inflation? I think the price has gone up about $300 from last year.
How's that thing holding up for you? I just got a used one and it started making a loud grinding noise in the rear , any ideas as to what might be going on? I thought maybe grease the wheels, what do you think?
mine starts on rapid not choke. once I start it and mow grass if I cut it off and get back on it, it will not start. I have a hard time starting. what could that be?
nice, consider a petcock before the fuel filter, those fuel filters are really basic, I'd swap that out for a better one, nice machine, I have a 2011LTS1500, just picked it up and its never been used as a mower.
If you are a decent mechanic or know a decent mechanic get the xmark. A well kept industrial machine can keep going forever and the zero turn is better then tight turn. The craftsman is a MTD and will have many small to large failures coming in its life. I think I may have worked out the problems with my t240 but it took 2 years.
I have a T 110 and changed the oil for the first time yesterday. I wasn't paying attention and after putting the plug back in, some of the orange thread was showing. Didn't twice with the same result so I went with it. I sprayed the frame with brake cleaner after I put the plug back in a d filled it up, and wiped the oil spillage with several shop paper towels.
Bro, honestly your yard looks mad small for a riding mower. About the size of my front yard that I push mow. My back yard alone is 3/4 acre which is what I use my T110 riding mower for.
Luckily I'm 225lbs in the seat so haven't gotten it stuck yet 🤣. The gas tank lasts me 1 and 1/4 cuts mowing at full throttle at the 2nd slowest setting for a good cut on my 3/4 acre. I love it. My neighbor with a 3,000 Husqvarna mower asked me what it was because it looked and cut soo good 🤣. I didn't tell him it was 1,300 with free delivery and a small dump trailer after my military discount 🤣.
