I need a mower that will fit through a normal gate. The gate is 30 inches wide. Will this mower fit? Thank you so much for your help

A: Melody - sorry, but we do not sell any riding mowers that are small enough to fit through a gate that has an opening that is 30 inches wide. The smallest opening that any of our riding mowers will fit through would be 32 inches.

Used it two times so far. I saw some of the reviews forward and reverse is awkward but I think I can get use to it.

 Great Little Mower!
Needed a new mower that would get through our back yard gate and haul some compost, etc. for our garden beds. Well, this Troy Bilt with the roughly 13 hp. engine fits the bill with plenty of power. I also wanted a Sun Shade on it because I don't care for wearing hats on my bald head. Got this dandy Dump Cart for hauling 7 - 40 lb. bags = 280 lbs. of compost, top soil, mulch, etc. with ease. Added a Deck Washer attachment as well. Now, my little buddy done went an elected himself as the operator, lol. Ok by me! This mower does a fine job of mulching the grass ever so fine. Mows in reverse just as fast as in forward too. Only slight drawback maybe, is getting used to the shifter between your legs. Other than that, this is a dandy mower that has power to spare!

Nice If It Ran!!!!!
Mower arrived with a puddle of oil in the bottom of the crate. Of course I didn't see it until the shipper left. Called MD and they said that sometimes this happens. Checked the oil level and it still had plenty. Put it together, and put in fresh gas. Went to start it and battery was dead. Off to the store for a charger ($100), now $1300 mower. Charged the battery and the motor turned over but would not fire. The spark plug looked ok, but no gas appeared to getting to the plug. Would have sent my $1300 mower back, but MD wont take returns on machines once gas has been added. Nearest service 25 miles away, but the warranty won't cover pickup or drop off. So another $100 to build ramps to load into my pickup, now $1400 mower. Dropped off mower the other day, (6 gal of diesel, round trip twice, $25, now $1425 mower) service person says defective carb solenoid, never heard of carb having a solenoid. Off course Troy-Bilt has these on back order so who knows when I'll get my $1425 mower back. Who knows what else is wrong. Very disappointed that for $1200 I couldn't get better shipping and a mower that actually runs. Mower arrived with a puddle of oil in the bottom of the crate.

Troy Bilt / Sears Rear Engine Mower Video Walkaround
I have both versions of this mower at two separate locations. The Troy-Bilt and the Sears. I have not had any problems with either, other than the clutch being a little jumpy.
Careful on hills and uneven ground as it is easy to scalp your lawn with the absence of wheels on the mower deck. All around a great mower.
I personally like my Troy Bilt version better...just better product support...same machine.

Great Turning Radius
The best small/compact riding mower I've ever owned. Cuts my mowing time in half, great on gas. Turns on a dime.

Pros And Cons
I worry about all the plastic and whether it will hold up. I don't like the shifter up in front of the seat, it's hard to reach and stiff. I like the bigger tires and nice turning radius. The bigger tires make it easier to put away and maneuver. I haven't had it that long so I may have further comments later. So far I am happy for the most part and hope that it last for years. I felt secure in getting this product because of the Troy-Bilt name.

Great So Far
I have used it 3 times so far and it works great. My yard is a little uneven so I find that the deck settings 2 or 3 work fine. I recommend this mower for anyone.

This is a good product. Easy on gas and gets the job done fast. The ride is a little bumpy sometimes, but that is from the landscaping.
