I'm curious about 4 wheel steer riders made through the mid 90s under several different brand names. Anyone know of their faults. I ran a sears one about 10 years ago for a customer of mine. I loved the way it zipped around trees. On grass the front wheels would slide a little as they were 90 degrees from the back wheels at full left or right. JD, Geire and Kubota still make them. But I'm curious about, Sears, Scotts, Yard Man and White. I saw two different styles of rear axles. One looked solid and beefy on the Yard Man+White. The one on the sears looked like an aluminum housing with lots of webbing.

I have a customer with a white that is about 12 years old. Never had any trouble with the 4 wheel steer. However it is here every year with an electrical problem of some sort or other.

I owned a Craftsman 4w steer model about 10 years ago. I remember it well. I enjoyed how it circled the 41 trees on my 1.5 acre lot. It would literally leave an 8 inch circle unmowed if asked to cut around something. But the part that seems to always come to mind is that the trans-axle was extremely week. I bought an extended service plan with Sears when I bought it - and it was a good thing I did. The rear drive was the type that you called "aluminum with a lot of webbing". The Sears truck was in my driveway MANY times over the period of the year that I owned it. After one year and 4 transaxles later, I let Sears have it back. The bottom line seemed to be that the steering was not the problem. Rather the transaxleused to support the steering apparatus was weaker that a 2 w steering model.
