- This mower was $1099.99 at the time of purchase. I used a 10% off movers coupon on it to get a discount. When I ordered it the model number was 13AN77BS011. Now the item number is the same but the model number changed to 13WN77BS011. I'm not sure what changed. If there is one thing to take from this video it is that the seat really sucks and makes a very good mower just "acceptable". One thing I did not mention in the video is that the lowes website says this model is "SHIFT-ON-THE-GO" but in reality you have to push the clutch in a little to change speeds. It is not a matter of simply moving the level while in motion. Feel free to comment if you have any questions.
I got this mower from Home Depot earlier this month(April 2020). They delivered it with a flat tire that was not on the wheel. Just replaced it with a universal wheel by myself. Home Depot wanted me to bring it to the store to fix it, but I do not have a truck to bring it. Watching this so I can get the dang to drive. First riding mower.
I actually work at Lowe’s learned a lot from this video, I not a big Troy bilt fan but I sold this mower so thanks for posting this
I had a 2000 model of this mower. All steel body. I loved it. This guys voice... hahaha
My 1st troybuilt riding mower lasted me 12 years .bought new one today the best their is.love my big soft seat.I have the same one they are showing on video.
I bought the same mower you bought and I have had other mowers also, however I've never had a problem. I do not push my mowers to the limit each time I use it. I buy mowers to cut grass, help with yard work and haul debris I find on my property. I do not buy cutting mowers to see how fast I can cut my grass. I faster you go the bumpier it will be.
I just got one today and so far it's great!
@@BYOJuan I honestly enjoy it and it actutally pretty tough in the blades, I was mowing and there was a nice size tree branch that my friend must not have seen while scouting his area before mowing, and made a slight louder noise going over (not too much to where your like what the hell I just run over) but more like a smooth transition imo. Tho mud may not be much to worry depending on how deep and/or wide the mud, usually I can pull it off but usually got it stuck one time. The wheels are effective I would say no damages to them and since I assume you are driving on dry grass or somewhat drive there is almost no diffucilty steering (Highly advise making sure the steering wheel is tighten fully, I was driving it then the steering wheel came off which caught me off guard but if ypur quick just press the brakes and key into off position or you can stand up, which just shuts it off. Driving on roads is good too imo, overall I give it a 10 out of 10 for it a riding lawnmower whatelse is it suppose to do lol, but if you master it like any other one it pretty effective and fun for the use of it at least I find it fun to mow and blast my bluethooth speaker
I've had 6 different riders and this mower is by far the fastest one!
Good grief, your are just trying to find fault over the littlest stuff which most of us don't care about.
I like that. He was showing us the worst thing we might expect. After pointing those out, he went on about how much he liked the mower and its many good points.
I thought it was just me - complained about everything. If you weren'tt happy with the item - you should've sent it back.
I have had mine 11 years and still runs great. I change oil when it looks dirty
in 2000 i bought identical yard machine fr about $1000...had some kid do something to motor valving and increased speed dramatically..strong machine
that 17.5 has a good reputation
You can add a manual fuel shutoff valve. Just place it where the fuel filter is and move the fuel filter behind the shutoff valve. The carbs on these newer lawn mowers more often than not have a fuel shutoff solenoid that opens when the key is turned to the on position. Sometimes they wear out and flood the engine, so having a manual fuel shutoff adds that extra peace of mind.
I do that to all my mowers. I love those valves and buy bags online (they get used elsewhere too.)
+Parks - 9+ Months with " No Answer " = He doesn't know what the hell you saying! LOL
Keeps the ethanol from gelling & clogging the carb during off season !
Thanks for the reverse explanation. It was frustrating me.
First this clown says he's disabling the reverse cut then say how good it is. Another youtube moron.
I got the bronco and had the pony before and no deck wheels .I got my bronco from lowes end of season for 999.00 with free delivery and also got the 10% off .The pony here now only comes with a 15 HP engine my old 2006 had a 17.5HP .They were both 2006 .You need to maintain it by greasing it and seats get hot so I made a cover for mine .I have a cub cadet and it has cloth seat . .Always grease it and check oil before you mow .I have 3 acres so to mowers and the gator blades you can buy for it are much better .I got mine on ebay
The newest pony has deck wheels and a bigger motor. This one is an old model.
I am on my 3rd mowing season with mine. Probably between 150-200 hours on it so far. Only issue I've had is a flat tire and I need to sharpen my blades. Got this mower for $999 on sale. Wish it had a better seat. I'm a bigger guy and it's not the most comfortable.
Yeah I almost fell off that son-of-a-b**** the other day
Thanks for the info.. looking at a used one for $500
I bought the 1299 version with a military discount. Works great.
how do they get mowers so slow I have a 2003 murray 13.5 5 speed and it goes 13 mph but your mower looks much cooler
I would recommend after every mow that you blow off the lawnmower deck above and under ( if possible ) it will help prevent rust on the desk because of the grass. The grass may look dry but it is not it traps water causing rust. This tip will add 7+ years of lito on that deck. also, it only takes 30 seconds so it is a great thing to do. Make sure you keep it inside too.
Is the Bronco engine the same general specs aside from horsepower or is it totally different?
I read that now they have the slip on oil filter which I assume meant that it is similar to what John Deere has on their tractors?
If it doesn't start keep cranking
Yahoo
Lol
Hows it holding up in NJ they have it for 1300 i think
I had one of these a few years back, it was all I could afford at the time and I used it to mow a 4 acre yard for several years. I also used it to mow a 6 acre field with 3+ foot tall weeds; all way beyond its purpose. It never hiccuped and I had 0 issues, although you can definitely tell the build quality is cheap (gas tank held in place with a zip tie for example)...Regardless, it served me well even though it was abused.
Yeah for the price it was a good mower, for the time I owned it anyway. If it wasn't for the crappy seat I would say 10/10 for under a grand.
Did you get a higher back mower seat? Mine is a bit short for a 6'1" man. If so where from?
Yeah that s***'s dangers you can dump you off the back very easily
Hi Im curious how many inches long is this mower?
Does a lot of complaining about the mower he bought
I actually returned it and got a horse.
@@striker1211 I would’ve gotten some cows they love the grass. Plus milk is delicious
So far so good 😂😂😂
I was looking at the pricier John Deere models and some others but your video may have convinced me to just go cheap. My only concern is that I'm a big fat guy and I'm worried both about having room behind the wheel for my gut and also the machine's chassis "handling" me. Guess I won't know until I go to Lowes and sit on a few (or attempt to sit :)
Nodak81 bad idea. They are extremely cheap and paired with that briggs engine are no good. It's better to spend money on somthing that lasts. The plastic flywheel fans on those do not last and will break into shreds
Crisp Cuts Landscaping Briggs and Stratton ain't no good??????...... Every Briggs and Stratton I have had never went out on me EVER.
+Samuel Hollan - I agree with you 100%! Look at our 20 Year Old Mower with B&S Engine.... Start right up! ruclips.net/video/TAFFqTeheWg/видео.html
I just got one and i was suprised with the speed for the price
How much did u pay
By chance, can a bagger be attached to it?
Do you have any bumpy spots in your yard? I'm concerned about it not having a floating deck with some of the bumps in our area. Thanks for the vid
Oh very bumpy. We have a maple too that I trim the roots of with the blades. I only had it a few months (the seat hurt my back) but didn't have problems with the deck.
I bought one and I’ll see how it goes. I am wondering if you leave the key in the green position, what happens when you put the mower in reverse? Does something stop the blades from turning? When I go back to Ford, does the blade come back on all by itself?
The engine will shut off if you put it in reverse without pressing the yellow override button.
The “engine”???? Not just the mower deck, eh?!
Old video, just came to say it didn't start cause you were doing it wrong. You didn't fully engage the choke when you first went to start it. Which you remedied by further reducing the engine speed lever making it worse. Bought this yesterday, started right up.
drummerjosh1984 it was actually the spark plug cable, it was totally disconnected
@@striker1211 You shouldn't be giving advise on anything.
What size is the v belt
I just picked up this model used in really really good condition for $700 great to know about the reverse feature i did not know but if you could tell a update on yours pros cons or tips and are you still using it ?Thanks alot!
Shortly after buying the Pony I upgraded to the Horse for a larger deck. The Horse is still going strong but I cannot speak specifically to the Pony.
I have the Bronco. It's the best rider I've owned so far. Yeee haaaw
Before my dad died, he had an older mower like this,2011 Troy Bilt pony
I don't know about super cheep problem is there are $3,500.00 here in Australia.
When you lower the speed does it slow the blade?
NO!
Yes.
Is your mower still working after 3 years? I have the same model for 3 years and have used total about 20 hours. My drive belt is now a few inches loose even though it looks new after I stepped off the seat while engine was still running...
I returned the pony to Lowes and got the horse for the bigger deck, larger gas tank, and nicer seat. Just last year I had to change the drive belt on the horse though, it was pretty easy to change, I just took the deck off and flipped the thing over on its side. It was pretty satisfying to roll it over after it left me stranded in my field haha.
@@striker1211 I found the reason for my problem: I need to re-engage the system since I stepped off the seat while engine was still running. I will correct my complain above. Thanks!
Hy Whats type oíl use this tractor and one quesitos this tractor not use oíl filter thnaks very much
Hell of a cheap mower. Going back to the garage after a mow in 7 w/o the blades feels like a dune buggy. Mines a year old has no problems, literally starts first time every time.
..... You're not suppose to mow in 7.
@@norge696 .........He said with out the blades...........
@@peterd.2220 🤣😂
just bought one for 2100
I don't like how it jumps when you take off
More informative than other videos!
No issues after a single mow
I need to order a newdeck
is it extra shaky?
Yes the ride was very rough. I don't know if it was from the manual transmission or the bad seat design. I ended up upgrading to the Horse after recording this video and will be posting a video soon on that model.
@@striker1211 Please don't create another useless video.
I just bought this mower yesterday and the deck fell off.
😂
Hint also mower shop told me to always stop the mower on low as it saves the mower engine
I got the bronco version
My valves won't stay adjusted on the damn thing.
He forgot to complain about the MPG.
It get's horrible mpg. I try to mow in the direction of the wind. Seriously though the gas tank is super small and there is a ton of wasted space in there where a larger tank could be installed. Thanks for watching :)
Got mine for $600 brand new but a "return".
Cut your gas line in for three dollars connect the shut off switch in between the line because of your carburetor float sticks you gonna wash out your oil with gas and you gonna blow a rod, it is a cheap Mower but well worth the money brother you take care of it it’ll take care of you, if you hit up my channel I have a 35-year-old 14 hp twin cylinder roper that has about 200 hours on itIn 35 years it’s beautiful
Forward speed control
Can we go for habachi at jimmyz
Motor wiring
listening to you talk, not sure why you chose this model.
Like I said you’ll get 10 years out of that more if you take care of it
This looks almost like an identical copy of my craftsman t110 riding mower
The company MTD manufactures most of the mowers sold at Ace, Lowes, Home Depot, etc. So Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, and even some John Deere will be the same apart from paint. Kind of like Chevy vs Buick vs GMC.
CRY CRY CRY R U 1 OF THOSE SNOW FLAKE GUYS
+Tony Geberin - Hahahahahahahaha!
I have a Troy built pony 7 speed it want go in neutral
Ahem.....put it in neutral....stop the blades....push in the clutch....set the brake...
Bought mine brand new and the engine fell off the first day.
By the way, all the keys appear to be identical.
Hold the brake down lol
I"ve had one of these for 3 years now. A damn fine mower for $1K. What a whiner & that voice is very annoying.
I removed the seat and put an old camero front seat on instead 😂
Haha that is pretty amazing, riding in style 😎
for what you payed you can't complain about every little thing you get what you pay for....
Mower will not move wheels are locked.
If the parking brake is not engaged, and the wheels are locked, then the brakes could be sticking.
Cup Holder My ASS . Just disconnect the reverse from the rear and all works great .
"not really" "not really"
keys are bad, if ya pay attention to your key, it will twist on you when starting lawnmower....cheap metal....also that plug in the dash below steering wheel is a place for a cut off switch for rewiring head lights switch...if ya dont, ya gonna burn up light bulbs...lawn mowers dont need running lights
I'm not happy with mine. 5-6 major repairs every single season! I don't care for servicing my own equipment. I especially hate fixing tools. This, like everything else I've purchased at Lowe's has been mostly trash.
Try and be a little more positive good freaking grief. Good video if you would keep your negative comments to actual issues instead of opinions
Agreed!
I enjoyed the part of the video when the mower was loud and running. It’s like the Pony was telling him to STFU 😉
this is the worst mower i ever got i cut yard one time half finished with old john deer there in not one feature on this mower that i like very disappoint hope i can sell it
it mower and i hope you got some good mowing out of it , my guess is no because from the sound of it you would not no how to take care of one or change a belt so stop crying about small things in life it small price to pay compared to push mowing but it 2019 and that mower is probably in your back your back yard not running
Bronco better
Well, your attitude sucked from the get go, calling it cheap n everything , why didn't you just return it?
I did return it. I actually like this pony mower better than my horse because the pony cut taller grass with less issue. The damn seat was just so uncomfortable I figured instead of spending $60 on a new seat I would just spend a little more for a bigger engine and wider cut with hydro, unfortunately too much of the horses power is given to the hydro and not the blades so it struggles in my hayfield lol
I could understand why! Very cheaply designed unit.
Crisp Cuts Landscaping dude what's up with you and Briggs and Stratton jesus.
Look at our 20 Year Old Mower with B&S Engine.... Start right up! ruclips.net/video/TAFFqTeheWg/видео.html
I don't like you huh who could of guessed
You deserve the tough start for talking tihs about the machine you bought.
I mean why did you buy it... this was a huge waist of my time.
Yea Lowes does do a piss poor job of putting shit together. To be safe, check to make sure your mower deck is leveled, because Lowes employs crossed eyed half wits to construct mowers.
Very useless video.....Why would you disable the mow in reverse?? You stated that at 1:26 then praised it later in the video? Make up your mind. THIS IS AN OLDER MODEL ENGINE AND DECK ARE DIFFERENT.
Never buy a mower built by Troy. I mean, the guy can't even spell built correctly.
People dont be cheap, spend your money on a good john deere or husqvarna (preferably with a Kohler or Kawasaki engine). Get somthing that will last unlike this piece of crap!
John Deere is overpriced mediocrity, I wouldn't trust a Husqvarna as far as I could spit. I've never had an issue with a Briggs&Stratton, and the only times I've seen any issues with them, it was operator error.
Stop giving advise you have no knowledge of . Go lay down.
I can buy 4 of theses for the price of a John deer plus if you take care of it it last long time
