The LT Yard Tractor is all new this year. It features a B&S Silver series motor and a 7 speed shift on the go transmission. The mower has no history and I will not have a chance to test it until April 15. So … this review will only cover a visual inspection and my first impressions of the machine.

My Review:
This mower is considerably different than the 2009 Model 28901 from last year. While it has the same gray paint scheme, the frame, deck, transmission, tires, controls and overall appearance are different.
The deck is very similar to the deck on the Yard Man Model 28906.
The frame is an “U” design. It appears to be strong and stiff for the price range of the mower. I don’t expect you to have any problems with this design.
That’s it for now. When I get a chance to drive it and as it gets some history I will update this review.

dOES THIS HAVE A GRASS CATCHER AVAILABLE? CAN YOU MULCH WITH THIS MODEL? IS IT AVAILABLE AT MASON CITY STORE OR WATERLOO STORE?
@John,
Where are you from? I’m going to guess Parkersburg….
Yes there is a 2 bin soft bagger available. Search on sears.com for 24019. The mulch kit is 33748. You can order it off my site through sears and then pick it up at the Waterloo Store or even the Mason City Store.
By the way the 28902 has a pressurized Briggs with an oil filter. If you have side-hills to mow you may want to consider this tractor.
