Mulch Kit WARNING, 2015 Bronco manual is WRONG #
The mulch kit that is listed in the manual for the 2015 Bronco is the WRONG one. The one listed in the manual is for models that were made from 2010-2014. It absolutely will not fit the 2015. You need the mulch plug that is dated "2012-"

Need parts (mulch kit)
I bought this mower yesterday and also purchased the mulch kit. I put the blades on with no problem, but the part that replaces the Shute does not fit. I took it back to Lowes and they said that there was no kit for this mower ( bronco 2015). What am I to do???????????

Do Not Buy
motor runs good. As for transmission not worth the scrap metal. Pulley on top of transmission to big you can't get the belt off without removing pulley. After owning tractor for 2 years just started 3rd season had to replace trans drive belt and in the process found the transmission is leak grease from gear box. Before buy this tractor do some research from what i have read on other sites allot of people are having trouble with the transmissions. Poor engineering on drive train.The deck is very thin as well.

Best Mower I have ever owned.
I purchased my Bronco in 2010. Worked great until 2013. The engine blew up. Troy-Bilt connected me to the Kohler folks and they stood behind the engine. I have my mower back and just finished the last mowing of the season. I would highly recommend this mower. It was a good price and takes care of my 2-plus acres without any problems.

very good mower
overall this a very good mower I only have 2 complaints I wish it had speed control and a more comfortable seat I weigh almost 300 lbs and Little larger seat would be good some times my foot gets tired from holding the pedal down it would be better if it locked at a certain speed

Great Purchase with one exception
The mower performs fantastic. The only problem we have is the gas tank is entirely too small and is secured with only a plastic zip tie! The first one we had, which is almost identical, lasted for 12 years. It had a gas tank twice the size of this new one and was bolted in place securely. It is a great mower and we love it...........except for the gas tank which is why I rated it as Good and not Excellent.
