Have you had any experience with an automatic?
Yes. I have a New Holland tractor with hydrostatic drive and it is wonderful.

Do not want any automatic on a lawn tractor. Too many horror stories. Thank you.

As far as Sears goes. Well you have had good luck. And hope you continue.

Me, I had a Sears chain saw. Took to Sears repair facility. Counter person states that Sears does not work on any gasoline engine over 10 years old.
I asked if I could speak with one of the mechanics. OK. When I entered the repair area - one step in - a screaming voice yelled out - "Get out of here. We don't work on anything over 10 years old."

That was the end of Sears for me. Thank you.

Note: my current lawn tractor is manual transmission. And I love it. It's just getting old.
