Craftsman GT 5000 28947

$3,360.00 Released February, 2009

The Pros:Can move pretty fast when you want it to, good speed. Turn radius is pretty tight, saves having to back up. Can cut grass at speed, don't have to slow down to do a good job.

The Cons:Cowling doesn't latch into place and tends to bounce around. Bottom 6 adjustment points for blade height shave the grass into the dirt. Wheel on the rear of the deck is out further than necessary, catches corners when doing tight turns.
