Hi Judy,

Fortunately, it will be used only on flat surfaces. I just heard the
same recommendation from a friend of mine about the front vs. rear
drive.

Do you have this Craftsman model?

Thanks,
Steve

Hi,

Can anyone recommend the following Craftsman lawnmower model? I could
not find reviews of this model anywhere on the web/Usenet. I saw it
advertised in the Sears sales flyer this week for $259.99. Is this a
good price? Does this model or a similar one come on sale for less?

Below is the description from the Sears website.

Please send all replies to this bulletin board as I am having trouble
with my email.

Thanks!
Steve

Craftsman 6.5 hp 21 in. Deck Rear Bag Mower (Model #37836)
----------------------------------------------------------
6.5 horsepower Briggs & Stratton 1 engine is ready
for any yard job. Single speed front wheel gear drive
system propels the mower so it does the work, not you.

-- Front wheel drive single speed

Are you going to be mowing going up a hill? With the front wheel drive you
need to lift the back 2 wheels to get it to propel. With the rear wheel
drive the weight is already on the rear wheels.
