2.0 out of 5 stars
Excited, at First,
By A Customer
This review is from: Yard-Man 13AT604G755 20HP V-Twin Engine with Spin on Oil Filter 42-Inch Cutting Deck Riding Lawn Mower (Lawn & Patio)
Ordering was a snap. Looked around for tractors for quite a while and believed this was not a bad buy. Free delivery,and right to your door, not bad. 8 or 9 days after placing the order the tractor was in my driveway, and boy was I excited. It came on a large pallet / crate. Got one side off the crate and had dillusions of driving my new Porsche. I wondered why it was so hard to roll out of the crate, the flat front tire would explain it. The tire was totally off of the rim on one side, could not just put air in it. Oh well, no biggie. Lets connect the battery and start it to see how it sounds. Turn the key and all I hear is click, click, click. Checked and re-checked the battery terminal connections. Now what, dead battery?? Got the battery charger out and charged the battery for a couple of hours. Again try to start and click, click, click. Oh well, lets charge the battery overnight and see in the morning. Meanwhile that night I decided to take the front tire off and bring to the garage and see if they can fix the flat. No problem tipped the guy a 10 and he seated the tire on the rim and filled with air. Driving back to my house I thought to myself the battery should well have been charged by now, must be something else. Took the battery out and followed the cable to the starter solenoid, tightened them up, put the battery in cranked over and to my surprise it started. Put the front wheel back on and was all ready to go for the next morning. Got up bright and early ready to mow, so excited. Looked at the front tire, flat as a pancake (only on one side!). Took the tire off again did the gas station again and had re-repaired. Put tire on again and was finally all set. Finally mowing. The loose connections bother me quality wise, one has to wonder what else is loose. As for the flat tire, what could I do return it? The tractor does have some rattles in it (does not run like a deere). Not a big deal but no cup holder as advertised (unless I missed the cup holder operating instructions in the owners manual). On the positive side, the engine is strong and the optional bagger is excellent. The automatic drive and turning radius are both good. We will see how this stands up to the test of time.

Shipping problems and unhappy with performance,
By Myles "NY Consumer" (New York, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yard-Man 13AT604G755 20HP V-Twin Engine with Spin on Oil Filter 42-Inch Cutting Deck Riding Lawn Mower (Lawn & Patio)
Received my tractor 3 days ago. Was supposed to get it Monday but had the same shipping problems the others had as far as needing a lift gate which took an day. I guess I got off easy (at first) as I didn't get charged the $25. Got the call from my wife "The tractor is here!" I couldn't wait for the 5:00 bell to ring. Raced home, threw on my shorts, then went outside only to see the crate was half crushed, tractor was uneven, and looked like it was literally thrown off the back of a truck. Have a few nasty scratches on it too. Of course they weren't the ones that cause any $$ damage, just the ones that make you mad you never even saw your $1,300 tractor on your front lawn without being torn up on the side!Well, I got it started easily enough and took off to mow. Ran nicely, turned well, but not a very good cut. I wasn't moving very quickly but had to practically crawl as to not have an half-cut line up the middle. Thicker areas I had to go over twice. Mind you, I have been cutting my lawn for a couple of years with a 5 HP push mower and it did just fine. Lawn was no higher than any other time I cut it. Three areas for concern..... 1. When you turn around a tree or bush you get a very poor cut. 2. Any slight dip in the yard and it scalps the lawn. 3. Anything over about the pace of walking will not give a nice cut. I shaved about an hour off of walking but for $1,309, and a 20 HP motor, I expected more. I really need to do it twice to make it look as nice as a push mower. So, other than the ease of my fat [back]not having to get a little exercise....it didn't take any less time. ALSO....WHERE IS MY DRINK HOLDER? Before I bought it I looked at Wal-Mart at the same model, it had a drink holder. I guess I'll crazy glue a "coolie" to the bump in the fender. Not sure I made the right decision. Certainly the wrong shipping company!!!!

Problems with my Yardman,
By
This review is from: Yard-Man 13AT604G755 20HP V-Twin Engine with Spin on Oil Filter 42-Inch Cutting Deck Riding Lawn Mower (Lawn & Patio)
When I bought my Yardman there were only good reviews. I see that has changed. First the seat is designed for someone with really short legs, all the way back and your knees are stiil in your chest. To empty the bagger you have to tip the seat ahead. Since I mow when the grass is wet(Live in WA), the tube plugs up often. But it is not designed to disconnect from the mower easly.
The blades are made from to soft of steel and bend too easily. So if you hit any gravel or other obstuction, you end up with a bent blade and an uneven cut. They don't offer a heavy duty blade. I wouldn't recommend using on anything but smooth level ground.
