Poulan Pro Mulch Kit with Blades Fits Tractors from 1992 and Later with 38 Inch Vented Decks 960720003 Review

The 38" Poulan XT, model PXT12538 lawn tractor we purchased in the summer of 2010 appears to have been a private label model made exclusively for Home Depot. While seemingly identical to other 2010 Poulan 38" lawn tractors, model PXT12538 is not listed anywhere on Poulan's website.
This causes a big problem when trying to purchase accessories. If Home Depot does not carry the accessory you want, how do you know which of the official Poulan accessories to order, when the new tractor you just purchased is not listed on their website?
Taking a chance, I ordered this mulch kit from Amazon and I'm happy to report that the spare blades are identical to what came with the tractor and that the discharge plug fit the deck perfectly.
Just what I needed to chop up those ankle deep leaves last fall!
Amazon has the correct 2-bin bagger as well. It's part number 960730022. Both items get five stars from me.

This was the cheapest replacement belt for an item that is no longer stocked. The belt was an exact fit and works as well as the original, which lasted ten years. Great service and delivery.

They are not only identical replacement parts at a much better price but the service is unequalled!

Simplicity Coronet (30") 13.5HP Rear Engine Riding Mower - 2690800 Review

Simplicity Coronet (30) 13.5HP Rear Engine Riding Mower - 2690800
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have a 1-1.5 acre yard that has a lot of trees, shrubs, lawn furniture, etc. Most of it is grass, so it requires mowing at least once per week. I bought this 30" Simplicity Mower because I did not want to spend 6 hours behind a push mower (yes, the exercise would have been great, but 6 hours is about 4 hours too long), and I wanted a mower that could navigate between bushes, trees, ornamentals, etc (I needed a more narrow cutting deck). A larger deck mower is fine for yards with lots of open space, but does not work well in the yard with a lot of trees, shrubs, or other things to mow around or in between. So I got this Simplicty mower several years ago and have mostly been happy with it. It has always started, and I have never had trouble with the belts or transmission. Simplicity makes a reliable machine. The deck is a "floating" cutting deck in that it self-levels as one cuts. The controls are ultra simple, and the single blade cuts grass very neatly. The mower engine, like all engines, is fairly loud and hearing protection is mandatory. The seat is comfortable (adjustable), and has an automatic engine cut-off if pressure is taken off the seat. Therefore, it one were to fall off the mower, it would stop. The mower takes straight unleaded gasoline.
On the downside, it is very difficult to change the oil, as there is a side port coming off the engine and it is quite messy trying to catch the oil as it drains out. The engine is of course in the back, so there is not much forward weight on the wheels. This sometimes prevents the mower from going where you steer it, especially if you are going uphill, or cutting on a slant, or in wet slippery conditions. Finally, when cutting next to a curved border, like a decorative stone border, the back wheel will sometimes catch on the border and dislodge a brick or two. What happens here is that the mower deck, being smaller in width, just barely clears the back wheel, so when navigating around a curve, the back wheel may catch the border of the curve. I have compensated for this by not trying to cut to close to curved borders and using my weed whip in these areas.
I have had my Coronet for years now, and am quite content with it. I have had it into the shop just one time, and that was for an engine carburator tune-up (I left gas in it over the winter and it ran rough due to deposits).
One can get a much less expensive mower at just about any major outdoor outlet, such as Sears, Fleet Farm, etc. While the initial price is lower, I believe the less expensive machines break down more frequently and require more repairs. If you are a do-it-yourself type, this is not a problem, but I wanted a machince I could rely upon season after season, and I found this in Simplicity.

I priced this item at the local lawnmower shop, and they wanted $54 for it. I started shopping around on the internet and found this belt for a little over $ 12 My husband was more than skeptical, but for the savings( even with shipping) he was willing to try it. So when it arrived, he was surprised that it worked so well. So now he believes me when I say I can find it on the internet. We saved money and it works great.

This Lawn tractor has a flawed PTO blade engagement system. Shakes and oscillates violently. If you purchased, take it back within 90 days. Don't deal with Customer service. They argued over everything. The PTO will eventually break.

Recharge Mower G1-RM10 27-Inch 36-Volt 38 amp Cordless Electric Rechargeable Riding Lawn Mower with Grass Catcher Review

I rated this mower at five stars because it delivered all that it promised. I also went directly through the Company (sorry, Amazon) because my comfort-zone with the price suggested to me that I should by-pass the middleman. From day-one, the company courteously answered all my pre-purchase questions, walked me through shipping - assembly- and operations, including tips to use the mower more effectively.
Using my push mower, my suburban lawn used to take me almost three hours to do, and that with my wife's help. (I'm retired, i.e., well over 21.) Now I do it by myself in about one hour. After about eight mowings already, I am quite satisfied. Operationally, the twin blades cut well, and the bagger is superb. The power is more than adequate, both in chomping grass and rises in terrain with rider and full load of grass. I also tested the charging capacity. I did a couple of double-runs on one recharge, for a total of about two and three-quarters of an hour. It can do the promised three hour running time per charge.
It was refreshing, considering the cost of the machine, to have so many safeguards to protect the mower itself, as well as the obvious safety to operator and other wee critters nearby. For me, it is more agile that a conventional tractor-type. I appreciate not having bio-hazards in the garage, no odors, and almost nothing in maintenance. With an estimated 25-30 recharges per mowing season, I would anticipate a long, long time before needing to replace the battery pack.
If you have a normal suburban-sized lawn, and a noisy conventional gas riding mower does not excite you, I could recommend the Recharge Electric riding mower without reservation.

With over three years of engineering, design, and development, the G1-RM10 Recharge Mower produces a greener lawn and a greener planet. Both real-world and laboratory tested for performance and safety, this battery-powered rechargeable riding mower provides up to three hours of continuous power without gas, oil, or emissions. Its compact size, easy maneuverability, adjustable cutting height, and grass catcher make the Recharge Mower ideal for just about every lawn, and its low-maintenance design and easy-access driver's seat make it ideal for almost any adult, whether physically fit or mobility challenged.
A Greener Lawn, A Greener PlanetWith the Recharge Mower, you can finally make your lawn truly green. This powerful, eco-friendly riding mower operates using three electric motors, a proprietary combination that provides low power consumption and optimum performance. And because it doesn't require the mess or expense of gas and oil, this riding mower emits zero carbon emissions, fumes, and odors.
Simple, Straightforward OperationComplete with an easily accessible seat, this revolutionary mower is not only environmentally friendly, but also incredibly easy to use. The mower is operated through simple hand controls, and the included bagger easily detaches without tools for quick emptying.
To get the Recharge Mower ready for us, simply plug the included UL approved Smart Charger directly into any standard wall outlet. Charge the unit overnight, and it will be ready to mow the next morning--for up to three hours, more than enough time to cut any standard size lawn.
Powerful Mower for a Perfectly Manicured LawnWhen it comes to performance, the Recharge Mower won't let you down. The two long-life, 900-watt electric blades spin at 3,800 RPM for fast cutting. And five selectable cutting heights in half-inch increments from 0.75 to 2.75 ensure a perfectly manicured result.
The Recharge Mower also features a 27-inch wide cutting path--bigger than conventional walk-behind mowers, yet small enough to allow for free movement through an average fence gate, giving you convenient access to front and rear yards. The powerful rear-wheel-drive electric motor provides abundant forward and reverse momentum.
Designed with Safety in MindThe Recharge Mower was designed with a host of features that ensure optimum user safety. To start, an operator-presence switch prevents the unit from functioning when the operator leaves the seat. Additionally, a blade engagement switch requires two actions to initiate the activation of the blade, and reverse speed limiting means the mower will only operate at half the normal forward speed while in reverse. For further safety, this mower operates quietly, so it's easy on your ears.
Rugged, Durable Construction for Long LifeThe Recharge Mower is ultra-durable and won't need tune-ups or special maintenance. Built to last, it boasts a resilient body that's perfectly fitted over a coated and welded metal frame. Additionally, its sealed 36v38Ah batteries are center mounted to improve balance and weight distribution, while its cutting blades are housed within the metal shrouded deck for extra protection against wear and tear.
What's more, all of the Recharge Mower's connections are tight and weatherproofed with shrink wrap, and the electronic components are safely positioned and shielded under the operator seat to prevent damage.
The Recharge Mower conforms to UL1447 and ANSI B71.1 standards and comes with a two-year limited warranty.
What's in the BoxMower with three sealed batteries; grass catcher; charger; and operator's manual.

There is no grass bagger available for any of the three manufactures whose 30 inch mowers are built by Poulan. In Northern Calif. there is no way one would buy a mulcher only mower as the mulch kills your lawn. No generic bagger is available either. How stupid. Someone at Poulan should wake up as this mower without a bagger attachment is not going to sell in Calif.. This is especially true in my case as I was about to invest in the mower. NO WAY NOW.
