I have shopped at Sears for years for all of my power equipment. I bought this mower yesterday only to find it wouldn't start in the afternoon. My neighbor came over and we finally got it started. Now it smokes so I have service coming out. I assumed this thing had a Briggs or Kohler and my neighbor told me this was a china engine. Will see how this goes but may wind up returning this unit

i bought this lawnmower at sears in florence sc and the salesman was very helpful. my yard is very hilly and bumpy and this mower does great it does not scalp the yard. i purchased the wheel kit to put on mower but you really dont need it gonna take mine back. it has plenty of power and pulls a trailer very easily. i went from a kubota diesel tractor to this one and am very pleased with the performance
