4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but with a small gotcha!, July 18, 2010

I agree with the other reviews here, in that these will stop your tractor from scalping in most cases. Be aware that if you have an area where your tractor REALLY digs in, nothing will stop all of the scalping. This wheel kit does dramatically improve the look of our lawn, and does a good job of preventing most scalping situations.

Installation was straightforward, which is good because there are basically no instructions included short of "install the wheels on your mowing deck". It took me about 15 minutes to install these on my Yard Machines tractor. It also gave me an excuse to clean and lube my tractor, and to sharpen my blades.

The first time mowing with the deck wheels took a little getting used to. I have been using my tractor for about 4 years without the wheels and now it will get hooked on things, like sidewalk edges and the like. Fortunately these deck wheels are super strong and do not seem to bend, rather the tractor will come to a grinding halt forcing you to reverse to free the stuck wheel. After getting accustomed to where in my yard they tend to hang up, I have changed my mowing to ensure they stay free.

You may be better off attaching only the wheel opposite your discharge chute. I notice that since the chute on my tractor is on the right, I tend to make left turns around obstacles (trees, fences, etc), and that the right side is what scalps. The left wheel is always the one that hangs on objects, as I tend to cut close to objects on this side. I also see many new models in the stores that only have one wheel on the discharge side. I suspect this may be the reason.

4.0 out of 5 stars Deck Wheels for Troy-Bilt Pony, November 27, 2009

By

A little pricey for a wheel kit but still 20-30% less than the Troy-Bilt dealer and the parts are high quality (robust, complete and well finished). There were no instructions with the kit but the installation is straight forward and the deck is dimpled for the top bolt on both sides. My cordless drill and a couple of wrenches and the kit was installed on my son's Pony in about 15 minutes. I highly recommend Amazon when you need these kind of kits. Fast service and good prices.

5.0 out of 5 stars This deck wheel kit has turned My Yard Machines rider into a different mower., April 24, 2010

Before installing the deck wheel kit any time I turned a corner, any time I went through dip in the yard any time the ground was uneven My Lawn Machines rider would scalp the lawn. I put up with this for three years. One day while searching for a different mower part I ran accross this deck wheel kit. I though what the heck every more expensive rider I have seen has had wheels on the deck so I bought the deck wheel kit for My rider. What a difference the deck wheel kit made to My rider. My rider is like a completely different machine. If You want to improve Your MTD, Yard Machines or any other brand mower that MTD makes You must buy this kit!
