I am interested in buying a Craftsman GT 5000 Automatic. My current mower is a, 1993-Craftsman LT 18hp, 5-speed, 42". It still runs okay but I have 1.5 acres to mow. I'm disabled because of Chronic Back Pain and my wife has to help about 45% of the time. She doesn't appreciate any mechanical problems. Before if I pay that kind of money I would like to test drive it. My closest SEARS doesn't test drive anything and I don't know of anyone around that has one so that I might try. Can anyone relate? I did notice that this new mower has a more durable deck. By the way does the hydrostat require purging before using by the consumer?

I am interested also in a response from someone. I am looking at a GT4000 from a sears in PIT, PA. 3500.00 I think is a good price but I want to buy a tractor that will last at least 10 years with no problems. My only concern is that there is not a foot control only a side speed control and I am not sure i will like this. But the price is drawing me to it. Mike

You might want to post your question at this tractor forum too, alot of the guys there have craftsman tractors. I've seen some good comments on the GT 5000..

I don't see how long ago your message was posted but if you search EBAY for Craftsmen GT 5000 you should find numerous posted by the outlet centers for $1938 plus $50 shipping anywhere in states. I just paid $1950 in Huntsville Al on fall clearance with 10% off for using my Sears card. My only problem is whine from hydrostatic drive but will purge today and try again. Make sure you shop at a large Sears store. Independants might not look up company clearance prices.
