TB490 XP 4x4 Self-Propelled Mower
My son was needing a mower and so was I. We agreed to share one and went to look. He came home with the TB490 XP 4x4 Self-Propelled Mower. This mower has been so dependable. As I am getting older I sometimes find it hard to start the mower but not this one. Starts first time every time. Plus with it being self-propelled it is much easier for me to us. My last husband always told me never buy anything other then a Troybilt and I can see why.

Excellent mower
The independent front and rear trans levers and with both engaged makes it a 4X4 so much power climbs hills and moves across soft ground with ease. makes mowing ditch area a breeze. Now I want a Troy-Bilt XP Grass Trimmer 18" Straight Shaft Gas String 27-cc 2-Cycle TB2044XP to be complete, the cost of the mower was expensive so that will have to wait..No regrets with this machine and the replacement self propelled Troy Bilt lasted more then 13 years trouble free. TB490 XP 4x4 Self-Propelled Mower with the Honda motor is a work horse like no other.

Great for hills
My home is on top of a hill, and is quite steep. The 4WD climbs the grade without missing a beat.

Just disappointed
We really expected better performance out of this mower. It arrived damaged and we couldn't get a replacement part from customer service. If the mower tips slightly from level ground the engine sputters. As long as it is on flat level ground it runs great. Really expected better performance from a mower that claims to be 4x4. Temporarily fixed the broken part in hopes that someday a replacement would show up.
Disappointed with the product and VERY disappointed with customer service.

This mower was purchased for us in February 2018. It is runs great, starts easy, lots of power so far. We have a steep hill in the front yard and one in the back it does awesome on the hills.

I've only mowed a few times, But
The Troy-Built built name was one of my reasons for purchasing. I purchased the mower with 4 wheel drive, Honda engine, high rear wheels. The mower wasn't the cheapest one on display. I purchased the mower because the lawn at my summer cottage is very hilly, and I am too old to push a hand mower up hills by myself. There is no adjustment for the speed of self propelled drives or the engine.
The rear wheel drive forces me into a slow trot to mow. Front wheel drive is a mowing pace I can handle but seems to not have a lot of traction. I'm not comfortable using both drives at once. If there is a way of adjusting the engine speed I haven't figured it out yet. Putting the rear bag on the mower requires exact positioning. When the bag is removed there is always a big chunk of grass still in the mower. I hope I will be happier with my purchase as I continue to use it. The one feature I do like is the garden hose attachment to clean the mower after use.
