I was backing it out of my utility trailer and the skid plate underneath got caught on some part of the trailer ramp. I continued to back up and the whole plate was ripped and bent out underneath the deck.

I had to edge a customers garden and I used a half moon edger. I finished it but it doesn't look neat because contour isnt smooth. There are Sharp edges and I tried to be more careful but i couldnt get it to really look professional. How can I fix it?

My toro recycler is leaving a trail of grass behind it when mowing and doesn't pick as much up in the bag as it used to. It also stalls out in high grass and I don't think it did before. The only thing I could think of is that the blade isnt lifting the grass enough. I havent replaced it in a...

Many of my new customers had landscapers in the past. They had nice thick green lawns with no weeds. This spring I started mowing and now there are many weeds and the lawn isn't as nice as it used to be. I put down fertilizer on some lawns and I'm about to put lime Down. How can I keep these...

I made the mistake of putting down fertilizer first before the lime on two of my clients. I still haven't applied the lime. Can it still be done or is the fertilizer garbage now?

My trimmers and blowers are new and commercial but for a mowers we just have a craftsman lawn tractor which doesn't mow that well and some smaller self propelled. Right now we are just doing lawn care and big cleanups(trees, spring cleanups and mowing) I posted a pic of my trailer with mowers...

We are getting new clients every few days and are trying to keep up but we have one problem. It always takes us so long to do each lawn. Usually our crew is me and 2 others. I see other landscapers complete houses in 10 minutes and it could take us hours. We can't figure out what is holding us...

Im using a bumper hitch right now so the front/reciever is slightly higher up than the back, and the tractor won't go up. I'm planning on getting a frame mounted hitch soon because it will be more level. I'm also putting new rear shocks on my truck which will raise it up even more. Also, the...

I recently bought a 6x12 landscape trailer and my craftsman lawn tractor won't drive up because the deck of the tractor snags/gets caught on the edge of the trailer where the ramp meets the frame. What can I do to make it drive up? Make ramps or buy a zero turn?

I just bought a 6x12 yesterday. It looks practically brand new and my explorer towed like there was noth ing behind it. I posted a pic if it .

I'm buying a landscape trailer in a few months and was wondering what size to get. I was thinking 6x12 would be perfect or 6x14 if I find one at a good price. It will be an open trailer. I wanted to get a longer one because i would have more space for future equipment and leaves to haul.

my craftsman lawn tractor makes a very loud whining sound when moving and also doesnt move as fast as it used to. It seems like its really getting stressed when i move either forward or reverse. I added some oil to the transmission but it made the whining noise louder. It can still go up hills...

My craftsman lawn tractor has a whining hydrostatic, I think it needs oil. There's a breather hose pipe at the top so if I unscrew it, can I put a stick in the whole to check the oil level? If so then what kind of oil should I put in

The tranny in my 1996 craftsman 15 HP lawn tractor is having problems. It has been whining and growling really loud when going up hills or just driving around regularly. It's also vibrating a lot while doing so. I tried to purge the tranny a few weeks ago and that did nothing. It also seems like...

I'm getting my lisence in a month and im going to be buying 5x10 landscape trailer to tow with the Ford explorer. The explorer has a tow package and the truck has tremendous power for towing. It has the 303 5.0 mustang engine. Anyway the trailer fully loaded will weigh no more than 2800 pounds...

The 150 is 50 cc and the 580 is 75 cc. They are both commercial. Would the 580 be any more powerful than the 150? I can't imagine it would be. Other than engine size, the 580 has a bigger air filter. I have the 150 and its very powerful. The specs are also very similar.

What is a good throttle position for my craftsman tractor to be in while I'm towing? I regularly tow between 2 and 300 pounds up hills. I always use full throttle, as I do to mow, but some people say to use half throttle

I live in nj and people are telling me I should have liability insurance. Nothing bad has ever happened yet but I'm under 18 and some customers ask about it. Also I can't do dangerous jobs like clean gutters without the insurance. Should I get the insurance or not? How would I get it

My craftsman manual tranny won't go in reverse at all. In order to put it in neural the shifter has to b in the reverse position. When I put the shiftrr in reverse though, I can see the belt slapping around loosely underneath. Also I don't think I have 5th gear either cuz it doesnt drive as fast...

This year we have been using three people: 2 people with the backpack and 1 person with the walk behind blower. This method works ok but some houses have so many leaves that it still takes us over an hour to do it. When I try to suck the leaves up with the tractor, it either clogs or blows...

Is it possible to make a craftsman lawn tractor into a 4x4 tractor? Some higher end tractors have it like the toro groundsmaster. Would it be easy and cheap or hard and expensive to do?

Right now I'm using 2 craftsman tractors for my buisness. They are not commercial but have been working great. I use them to cut and tow our trailer around to my customers. Next year I will have a trailer with a truck and the tractors will go on the trailer because I will be driving instead of...

Does this count? Lol

My echo straight shaft has a lot if vibrating along the shaft and the head when idling. It runs normally when I press the trigger and it has plenty of power. What can cause this?

One of my backpack blowers is running rough. It bogs up and down when running and turns off when I press the trigger down all the way. It has been sitting in my garage unused for at least 3 months so I think its bad gas. I just need some opinions but I'm changing the gas anyway

I use 2 husvarna 150bt backpack blowers for my buisness. I was wondering if they are considered commercial and how good they are compared to a similar echo or redmax.

When we tow our little trailer up with the tractor, is it bad for the tractor in any way to use it so much? The trailer might be close to 200 pounds and we have to use the equipment about 3 or four times a week. We drive it on the side of the road and its only a couple blocks away. Is this bad...

My craftsman 15 hp kohler deck has been vibrating excessively lately. It's also very very loud. It just recently started and was a bit quieter before.

I have two craftsman tractors and they both take kohler engines. Only one has an engine in it and I was wondering if I would be able to switch it to the other tractor, since its newer. One concern I had was that the previous engine on that tractor was a 19 HP and the one I want to put on is a 15...

My craftsman tractor front wheels are pointed outwards instead of straight. It's not a huge problem but it affects my turning radius when I'm mowing or cruising . The wheels look like this: \-/ . I don't know if I need to replace a part or adjust something

I got a kholer 15 HP craftsman. A few weeks ago I drained it to put it away for the winter but I decided to take it back out. It wouldn't start. The starter worked but it wouldn't turn over. The pre filter was dirty so I cleaned it but that had nothing to do with it. Anyway after a while of...

When I go to my clients houses, I always use wood ramps to get over the curb to their lawn. I was wondering how other people do it because I know not everyone uses ramps. Some of these peoples lawns are really raised up from the street

I have a 42" craftsman tractor and I was wondering if I got a grass catcher, would I still be able to tow a cart with it. It seems like there's not too much room if the catcher is on
