Strengths 20 hp Kohler engine was one reason I purchased this tractor. After several months use I started smelling raw fuel in the garage. I couldn't find any leaks. In July the month the warranty was about out I noticed the gas tank was about empty even though I had over a half tank when I parked it. I removed the breather and found gas flooding into the throat of the carb. I called Lowe's and asked what to do about getting it repaired. Was given the number to call of a local service shop. When I checked my bill of sale the warranty was one week out of warranty. They told me to bring it in and they would check it but couldn't say it was under warranty. I have no way to haul this tractor in due to size. It is a fire hazard so I have to leave it sitting in the yard. I have contacted Troybilt but have not heard from them yet. I will buy my lawn equipment from reputable lawn and equipment shops from now on and pay the higher price for good service.

Weaknesses Gas leaks gas leaks/ fire hazard

Overall a 10 it is a fire hazard

Overall a 10 it is a fire hazard

Strengths LOL. None, The first time I used it, I had cut about a 1/4 acer and the deck fell off. Cutting an open area, no trees, no post, the deck just fell off. I call Lowes, what a joke. The tech said I was lying that the deck cannot just fall off, well it did. Carb float got stuck wide open and filled the crank case will GAS!!

Weaknesses Weakness, everything about the machine, SAve your $$$ and buy a Deere. New Blades every few weeks. If you gut a 1/4 acre of FLAT land every other day then this is the machine for you other than that it is the worst thing I have ever seen or used. Bad belts, bad deck. The tires go flat too. Buy some green slim for the tiers

Overall If the rating scale would let you enter a -10 I would.

Strengths engine

Weaknesses the lower drive belt.i had to do a mod a small screw with a long washer on it that didnt work at all it cut the drive belt every time.a longer screw and washer fix the problem.this should be a recall.fix that screw or new belt evry season troy built is mtd now watch out dont buy.

Overall mtd

Strengths None!!!

Weaknesses Belts constantly coming off!!!

Overall This lawnmower is the WORST we have ever had. Has spent more time being worked on than cutting grass. Cannot get any help from Lowe's. Belts jumped off 4 times before they finally came to pick it up. Only used the mower twice before going in to be repaired.

Strengths No repairs after six years mowing 30,000 square feet plus hauling equipment and small grader. Kill switch circuit is simple to bypass.

Weaknesses Seat has worn out and needs replacing. Not enough leg room.

Overall My forth tractor and it's been the best one, the least repairs.

Strengths HARD TO THINK OF ONE. CONSUMERS REPORT LED ME TO BUY THIS MACHINE AND IT HAS BEEN A DISASTER

Weaknesses FROM NOT STARTING, TO PROBLEMS WITH BELTS AND CUTTING BLADES AND UNCOMFORTABLE SEATS THIS UNIT IS POOR QUALITY. THE CUT QUALITY IS SUBSTANDARD AND POWER OF THE ENGINE SEEMS OVERRATED TO PERFORMANCE.

Overall THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE WORST PURCHASE RECOMENDED BY CONSUMERS REPORT I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. THE PRICE WAS MUCH LOWER THAN A JOHN DEERE BUT NOT A DEAL IN THE LONG RUN. GARBAGE

Strengths Excellent power by a 20 HP Kohler engine, cruise control, automatic transmission, very reliable and trouble-free.

Weaknesses Doesn't cut in reverse.

Overall Superior lawn tractor!!!!!!! I love it!!!! I haven't had any problems that others complain about the older models.

Strengths cup-holder!

Weaknesses worst experience with a tractor i have ever had, in the 3 years i have had it i have replaced belts 6times, tires twice and they still go flat. the deck is not even and breaks every time i have used it, and for the past month is wouldnt start without bypassing the ignition {battery dierctly to starter to start :(} i will never spend anoth =cent on any briggs engine again, absoulute garbage!!

Overall negative 5

Strengths I have the super bronco with the 19 HP koler engine and its been a amazing three years. i bought it my freshman year in high school and have cut 16-20 yards a season. im coming up on 200 running hours and havent had a single proble. the fact that i couldnt mow in reverse got on my nerves but i eventually found the safty wire plugged into the transmission and "accidentally unpluged it" but other then that its been fine. i use to drive it about five miles to get to a few jobs and the fuel tank held enough fuel for me to get there and back with no probs!!!!! i would recomend this model to anyone. i also have a troy-bilt weed wacker and am about to buy a push mower.... i cant wait!!

Weaknesses NONE AT ALL....

Overall This is a very good product and i am very pleased that being a high school student the price was reasonable enough to purtchase it on my own
