I bought this Craftsman LT3000 mower about 4 years ago now and its been the best investment I ever made in my small lawn service. Craftsman really made a great lawn tractor here, its been my workhorse for years, towing my trailer when I needed it to, and always putting a flat clean cut on nearly any grass.
The mower can cut through grass of any thickness or length with relative ease, has a high cutting speed, good turning radius, and really just never stops.
The only negative that I've had with the lawn tractor over the past few years is that the flat 42" deck doesn't work well on hills or bumps in the yard, and can scalp these areas, leaving a nasty brown spot where grass wont grow back. I bought the product at Sears in Brandon Florida. It works best for large lawns and fields.
