Craftsman R110 Lawn Mower TEST AND REVIEW!

My father needed a riding lawn mower since he was in his mid 70's and we (all of his kids) were worried about him cutting grass in a Florida summer. We tried to find the best budget lawn mower we can find. After he had used this lawn mower for a few months we thought it would be a good idea to make a review. I hope this helps you.

[@FattyFPV]

You can mow in reverse without disabling the kill switch. Turn the key to the yellow, reverse mowing section and depress the triangle button until the light illuminates. Good to go.

[@t.s.5867]

Great father & son demo. Kudos fellas...from Long Island, NY

[@artillerylife]

Thank you!

[@AgustinD1000]

I just got the R110 as a gift, and I really appreciate your video! It taught me to drive it lol.

[@bloodrose685]

First, give your Pops a hug! My dad and my son are gone... So cool you are doing this together. I have this mower and have had it for a few months. Spinal fusion surgeries have hindered my abilities to use push mower. I agree with all your thoughts, points etc.. Its a good unit thus far. You did teach me something about the connection to cut the ability to mow in reverse.. I read and understand that being a safety feature so you dont run over a child or something, and I can respect and appreciate that. As a father of 5, def was something to worry about back when kids were little and home. Now, Im going to try to find that and disable it. Otherwise, a very good mower. I dont know if many other riders will allow the turning radius to get around trees and all. I just have to do a quick trim with my push (or weed eater) to get around trees and edge of fence.

[@artillerylife]

Thank you so much for your words. My father has always been exactly what I thought a father should be. I’m glad this video helped out!!

[@StudioDaVeed]

Just picked one up today. Great seat adjustment tip, I have yet to read the manual, but now I know! I've got 2 hours on mine and here are some tips I have to share. Speed Control/Clutch Brake Pedal: Note that with each higher successive 'gear'; the clutch/brake pedal rises up higher when fully released by your foot. The higher the 'gear' the more 'play' there is in the pedal as a 'clutch'. I found that starting at gear 3, you can gently 'clutch' the pedal to shift up on the fly. And the reverse is true also; from 6th gear down to Three. Below three; there isn't enough play, you basically come to a stop when going from 1st gear to second and second to first. Good point on mowing in 3rd 'gear'. I read on a forum that this is not a true geared machine, rather it is somewhat a centrifugal clutch/idler pulley type of "transmission". When in first gear the belt is very 'loose'. In 6th gear the idler pulley has the belt very tight. This explains the above observation that the clutch/brake pedal moves in height/position when in a higher gear. Commentary was at the lower gears belt wear may be accelerated due to the nature of the gearing apparatus and slippage. The reverse kill switch: The manual says to return key to the "run" position after backing up. You can actually leave it there. So, start mower. Move key to reverse spot. Push the triangle button. Forget it. Forward and back now on demand.

[@artillerylife]

Wow thanks for all that!!!!!!! You should do a video on this!!!!!

[@StudioDaVeed]

[@MannyG32968]

Excellent review! Looking for a good rider. You guys made my decision easy. Thanks!

[@bozenagamboa8120]

After 29 days I'm returning to Lowe's the Craftsmen 30" mower. The break is very hard to press and while releasing it to drive to front or to back the mower is often standing up on the back 2 wheels. Very dangerous plus smallest uneven ground (less as 12% or lager hole in the ground) I felt as the machine will overturn. It's true that the price is very affordable, easy to maneuver front wheels but the shaft to change gear hard to reach if you are hanging on uneven terrain because you need to balance with your body the mower to avoid flip over. Another experience is that even if I changed the gear from REVERSE to FRONT (while pressing break) the mower was going to reverse! It started to move to front after I stopped it and once again pressed the break. Please also note that if you purchase that mower with the store delivery, you can return the mower during 30 days from the date of purchase NOT delivery date. If you got Lowe's delivery 10 days after the date of purchase you are left with only 20 days to return it.

[@Zedinator593]

I got the Hydrostatic version, it auto shifts.

[@tonimusgrave9530]

So glad you posted this...reviewing several and eliminating the ones that I’m not interested in..

[@clintnaquin1298]

For what it is worth... you can cut in reverse by turning the key from the green position to the yellow position to then shift to reverse (instructions on deck floor by right footpad). When returning to forward drive the key should be placed back to the green position. Maybe better than disabling a safety feature that just makes you aware of surroundings, before cutting in reverse. Thanks, for the video. You and your dad work well together. Keep it up!!

[@dryfuss1955]

Had mine three years with no major problems. Changed the oil and filters after every season. Changed the blade. Changed the battery . This mower gets the job done for up to an acre.

[@thematador6377]

They now come with the 344cc engine that does NOT have an oil filter

[@mrln04]

If you turn the key to the reverse/cut function and press the button, you can cut going in reverse...

[@712speedy]

My Craftsman RER 1000 is 10 yrs old now, replaced the 2 front tires and the belt, but that's about it. The older models have the oil filter....which mine does. If yours does not, just change the oil every season.

[@bobsliwinski2370]

Mine is about the same age. I also have replaced the front tires which wore out- rears are still OK. My biggest expense was replacing the transaxle after a couple of years. Seems OK now. Can't believe how much they cost now ($1700) with no oil filter. How cheap can you get? Hope you enjoy many more years with yours.

It looks like those 30" small ones are already set up to mulch, the bigger models u gotta buy a mulch kit i believe, thats a bonus i guess? Depends on your preference's?? I Just bought the T110 42" with 17.5hp 7speed mower 2day from lowes. Last yr i used the T230 model ($1,800)on one acre some hills with the 21hp 42" automatic trans but it was $450 more than the T110 model was $1,349. The T230had the 5"quick turn(?) radius and the T110 has the normal 18" turning radius. With buying the cheaperT110 and a savings of $450 I bought a weed eater, a leaf blower and a shotgun, Lol...👍

Another value is Blade tip cut speed is very fast on 30" single blade, cleaner cut. Duel blade system tip cut speed is much slower at same RPM.

[@lucyhare5524]

Great review, much appreciated. So the shifter from 1-6 is basically your gas pedal on a car?

[@artillerylife]

Correct

[@FearlessQuery21]

Imma girl. heee heee. I just got this mower; never had anything like it so this video was pretty helpful. Did your dad go from grass to the cement without lifting the blade? What determines the edge of the blade: the placement of the tires or the black blade cover? Where did you pour the gas? Does it take regular or diesel? How long can you mow on one tank? An acre? An hour of cutting?

[@artillerylife]

YaVaughnie Wilkins yes he did go from grass to cement while blade was still on, as long as there are no rocks and side walk is even it should be ok but it’s always good to be safe and disengage the blades of that makes your more comfortable, the length of the cut is determined by blade size, what I do just to make sure is go along the same path as my tire so I can get a slight overlap. The fuel is regular gasoline just like your car. As for how long you can mow on one tank I’ll have to ask him but based of my experience your should be able to cut 1 about 4 times before you run out of gas, this is all depending on if you have trees, hills, etc.

[@stevewaters9186]

Gas is on the right hand side little black cap. Need to mow in reverse turn key back one click once you start and push yellow button and you can mow in reverse.

I have same mower but a Murray version I got from walmart in spring 2019 for $964 . they since jacked up price to $1164 since lowes and Home depot sell there versions for $1199 which is to high for this mower. There IS button (to mow in reverse on ignition switch you push on crafts man and troy bilt but murray you just unplug sensor.mine has worked great. Cons is deck has no wheels so on high spots in yard you have to lift deck or end up shaving grass down to dirt. Be careful on letting off clutch/brake in 5th/ 6th gear to fast as mine pulled a wheelie in my yard as I got into a rut and both back wheels got traction. I was like oh crap.

[@artillerylife]

I agree on the price. The reason we got this was because my father who is 75 was using a push mower for his and 2 other houses. I needed something cheap (since I’m not rich) light, and on the smaller side so that’s why we did this. Personally for myself I usually buy used and just end up fixing them up for myself (FYI he lives 13 hours away other wise I probably would have just got and fixed one for him) thank you for your insight!

I am sorry. I no longer have the mower. How long have you owned it? It may be age related. You may want to check the wires to make sure they are not warn or even chewed up (sometimes mice will get in)

[@d.l.harrington4080]

First, if you read the owners manual, it tells you how to mow forward and reverse. Never over ride safeties. You say cheap. Cheap is not the word for the rack and pinion steering, It can lock up or jump teeth in tight turns. That cause me to hit a pole and knock the deck out of alignment. That cost me $200 for parts so I could get it back to cut level. Lastly, as mentioned before, oil changing is a real trip. It is obvious that the design engineer never has to change oil. You have to use a chute that comes with it to get the oil away from the engine. While you hold that chute in place, you try to get the plug out of the crankcase. Now the plug finally comes out and the oil follows going everywhere, I re-engineered mine. No problems now but that is not my job. FYI, if you use a 1/2” long socket extension backwards on the plug and a ½” open end on the other, you will find it easier to get the oil plug out.

Not changing the oil will eventually kill the engine. On any new engine you're suppose to drain oil within the first 5 hours to remove any metal shavings from the manufacturing process.

[@artillerylife]

Well it is hard to say without looking at it directly. How long have you had it/ how many times have you used it? If you have already used it multiple times it is possible the battery is 100% dead and you need a new one, a wire from the ignition could by broken, the starter could be bad. Let me know the best you can some of the details

[@artillerylife]

Have you ever started it before? If not it is possible that the battery was bad because of the key being left on so they’ll battery could be completely bad or they sold you a faulty lawnmower from the start. If you have started it before it still could be a battery issue. Now this question is dumb and obvious but I want to ask just Incase, you do have gas in it right?

Yes, although we did not get to test it on steep hills but on the small ones we took it on. The only issue was the blade guard would hit the hill in the transition sometimes. The fix we did for that was but. Small roller wheel and attach it on the outside edge. Hopefully this helps

I had difficulty with a small grade. However, the grass was wet and I had to get off and push it so the tire would stop spinning in place. I came back with my push mower which only took me a minute.

How did you attach the roller to the outside edge? Can you please send pics of that. By the way great review. Mine will be delivered tomorrow.

[@artillerylife]

Tim Phelan so the mower is at my fathers house (we live about 900 miles away) so I will try to see if he can take some for me since he was the one that did that and I was not there we he did

After 2 years the steering will have play in it it will slip there is a gear at the bottom of the mower and a strep with teeth they don't grab what you can do is take the box with the gear and hit it wih a hammer this will fix the problem

[@mrbubetube]

[@artillerylife]

mrbubetube so far so good!!!! No issues as of yet. Used it all last summer 2 times a week and the winter maybe 2 times a month

How good is this mower on hills?

[@artillerylife]

It moves great up the hills and cuts fine the only issue I can see is if the hill is very steep or uneven. Not a stability issue but more and issue with the blade guard hitting the hill.
