Review of the Craftsman T2200 Riding Lawn Mower

[@aeasmmikey]

A million thanks. You saved me a couple of embarrassing phone calls and possibly some serious service call money. My new 2200 was delivered from Lowe's yesterday. Before they left we started it up to be sure all was okay; it was. What we did not do was run it. All the rest of yesterday I struggled with every button and lever on the machine and I could not get it to move forward. Only with your video did I discover they had left that small silver lever OUT after they wheeled it off the truck -- making the gears unengaged to be hand pushed. Unless that lever is reinserted the mower goes nowhere! Thanks so much for your informative video.

Same here. I got a clearance mower at Lowes, without manuals. Unfortunately, my old mower was different, and I spent hours watching how to replace the transmission belts, etc. you saved me!

And FYI people, I already had an issue with mine. Ran like crap, like the choke was stuck on. I used warranty & they found water in my carb. And I know gas was fine because I used the same gas in my zero turn mower, ran fine. The plastic tank, under the right conditions (my opinion is when direct sun hits gas tank filler neck) creates moisture. Drain carb bowl & you should be good. I add sea foam to gas now. Cap full of the bottle to 5 gallons.

They gave me one with a faulty seat, same model. Kept shutting off. It was the safety switch under the seat. Part was never put on under the seat at factory.

Thank you so much. The part in the back of the lawn mower to make it go is what I was having trouble with.

[@davidsingleton1846]

You have made a mistake. This mower is capable of mower I b reverse. Start engine mower some Gras in forward then while blades are engaged turn key to the left once and press the yellow triangle on the dashboard. Once this is complete, you will be able to move forward and reverse with the blades engaged...You're Welcome 😊

So I heard. Thanks. I been meaning to do an update but that's more like an introduction to it since I only had it for less than 24 hours when I made the video. Have a nice day

[@shinew1142]

​@@lucky1206 does it come ready to cut or do you have to put oil in it

[@joederochemont6219]

That rod is because its a hydrostatic transmission. You pull that out whenever you need to push it, or tow it if it breaks down, or to load into a truck.

[@ryanburleson73]

If you press the triangle symbol above where you place the key, it will allow the blades to stay engaged while going in reverse.

[@JohnnyRayThompson]

They sell a mulching kit for $90 really helped yard green up.

[@joederochemont6219]

Use the key, & push the triangle & you can back up with blades engaged. Read your manual young man

The first Run of the turn tight series Tractors 2019 to 2021 were better Tractors stronger transmissions and other things..T240 T260 T310 were the best..

I just bought a 2020 troy blit bronco 42 inch cut n 19 horse briggs and stratton engine the guy I bought from his dad, , and then he used it 3 times and then he passed away. So it's less than 10 hours on it. did when I got this year? I paid 550 .Did I did I pay too much work? Do you know if they're plastic transmission or aluminum

[@lucky1206]

@@CodyCanon-l1n aluminum only the top part is plastic where the fan is the rest is aluminum

Whoops me like you bought a MTD. Which is not the same as what Craftsman used to build you can get that same more in a yellow color and they call it a Cub cadet and it also is not the good old Cub cadet we used to get.... So you got a red MTD with a single cylinder which would be better with a double cylinder.. ... If you have the S style spindles which I believe you do your spindles and blades will be very expensive as there's no aftermarket ... If you're more does not cut completely equal and suck up the grass and cut it completely .. I would take it back immediately before your 30 days is up. I think there's more cost you $800 more than it did 2 years ago.....😮

[@hdaly7131]

How would you compare the T2200 to the husqvarna YTH1942?

[@lucky1206]

I have to take a look at that one

[@dosi8274]

My brain hurts now

[@rachelp4740]

I tried to change the battery and I can't make it start. Can you help?

[@lucky1206]

I never did that before yet but I will check it out

[@dosi8274]

You called craftsman because the tire was low?? ADD SOME DAMN AIR to it and move on. Geez

The most uneducational video I have ever watched. maybe you should’ve owned more for more than a week before you started making how to videos you were wrong on some things and left out so much
