Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The first question you have to ask yourself is, Do I really need a lawn tractor? For anything less than 3/4 of an acre, you'll probably want to buy a mower. For larger areas, however, a lawn tractor offers a comfortable, powerful alternative to pushing a mower back and forth all afternoon.

At 17.5 HP (502 cc), this model offers plenty of power-compare to the average of six or seven HP for gas-powered push mowers. The extra HP will come in especially handy if you're dealing with dense, wet grass. It will also make the job go a lot quicker, too. (Note that this model is a little higher in average in terms of HP for lawn tractors.) The twin-blade cutting deck measures 42 inches, which is fine for yards of up to three acres. If you're mowing larger spaces, you'll reduce your mowing time by upgrading to a larger deck and higher horsepower.

The 13AN772G700 is a pleasure to drive, too. Its six-speed transmission includes Yard Machines' "Shift-on-the-Go" transmission, giving you easy, no-clutch shifting using either a foot pedal or hand lever. This is a nice feature, as it allows you to easily slow down for tight spots or obstacles without having to hit a clutch, then ramp up again for the straightaways. The machine also has a nicely cushioned low-rise seat which, along with the 20-inch by 8-inch rear tires, make for a comfortable ride. The 18-inch turning radius is typical of most lawn tractors.

Overall, this is a great lawn tractor that's perfect for areas of from one to three acres. Two-year limited warranty. For safety, don't mow on inclines of more than 15 degrees, and always mow across a slope, not up it.--Josh Dettweiler

I got my Yardman mower last Spring on sale for a little over $1000.00 delivered and it has been delivering ever since! I'd recommend this unit to anyone who doesn't want to spend at least twice the amount at Lowes or Home Depot (Yuppy Pergatory!) for basically the same unit.
Anyway, it's a solid piece of equipment that gets the grass mowed with minimum upkeep so far! My advice? Buy and Enjoy!
Thanks Amazon!

This mower is a great value. I have an acre of land that has dry, wet and tall grasses. I have had this mower for three years. It starts right up and always runs. I have replaced the battery a few times and it is pretty simple to replace both the blades and belts for anyone. You cannot beat the great price for a solid machine!
