New Craftsman lawnmowers

[mikehouse]

Hey,Happy 2020 Lawnworld family.I am now in the market for a new mower.I'm looking for real reviews of the new Craftsman self propelled FRONT wheel drive lawnmowers.They are now being sold in Lowe's.M series i believe.Can anybody share any info on these? I've seen models that have Briggs motors as well as Honda's.I prefer same size wheels too.

i have one, im only 13 so take my opinion lightly, but i know what im doing when it comes to yard work i have made over 1500$ last summer and had 10+ yards, everything about the motor is nice, starts right up first pull, ive probably mowed 70+ hrs and it still does not need oil, plugs ect. mine is a honda, it can cut about 3-4 in without bogging down and completely dry, i love this mower and you should consider getting it. if you have any more questions just ask

Not sure about this years models but last years models were manufactured, serviced and warrantied by your local MTD dealer.

MTD models would likely have the Powermore engine which have not earned my confidence.

I think you're right. Looks like a loose copy of GCV160.....

This is an electric start model.Big wheels in the back.Looks very good.Smooth lines,but i like same size wheels,no electric start.I didn't know there was a "270".
