This article will go through the existing Riding Lawn mower, Tractor and Zero-Turn Manufactures of the new products Sears offers under the Craftsman Brand name.
We all know Sears and Craftsman have had their items made for them considering that the 70’s.
Who Makes Craftsman Lawn Mowers in 2024
If you are buying a used lawn mower or tractor from Craftsman, this is one thing. However, you should know that starting in 2018, all Craftsman lawn tractors are manufactured by MTD at a plant located in Ohio.
- Check the prices for Craftsman lawn mowers available on Amazon.
Thus, buying a lawn mower or tractor from MTD under the Craftsman brand in 2024 or later, you can be sure that the machine is made in the States. At the same time, I would like to warn you that you do not hesitate to ask the dealer about the origin of parts, especially such key parts as the engine, transmission, connecting parts, etc.
More information about Craftsman Lawn Mowers Manufacturing
It’s practically humorous the number of “expert” answers there are out on the Internet to this concern. And to make matter’s even worse, I understand a couple of local organisations that will purposefully misguide their possible customers by informing them the incorrect info about Craftsman Lawn Tractors and Riding Mowers.
Craftsman Model 25061 Zero-Turn Sears, Craftsman has never ever had the factories to produce their own equipment. Sears is a seller and they have actually constantly used OEM’s (initial devices makes) to make the items they offer. Even when they did own Roper in the 60’s they left the design, production and distribution to Roper. There is constantly a lot of confusion to who makes what for Craftsman since the manufactures modification over time.
Companies like Haban fail, others get purchased out (like Emerson, Snapper, Gravely, Wheel Horse, Lawn Boy, Cub Cadet, Hahn, Roper, Eclipse) Sears even has actually used various names for the products they offer throughout the years (Companion, Dunlop, Evolv, Craftsman, Craftsman Professional, Craftsman Premium.) This is muddled even more due to the fact that the Internet has plenty of out-dated and incorrect info.
The products are made by another person however I want to make it really clear though that Sears has constantly spec ‘d their equipment. What this suggests is that just because the lawn mower is produced them by a specific manufacture, i.e., Briggs, in a particular center, i.e., Snapper Plant … the devices is made to Craftsman’s requirements … and the quality that Craftsman determines is the best possible for that tractor/mower series and price range. (For example, The 30 hp Craftsman Premium tractor looks like a Simplicity Prestige on the outdoors, but the specs are different than the tractor sold as a Simplicity Prestige.
The engine is a bigger, premium motor, instead of a domestic series. The deck is designed for Craftsman consumers, and the price matches Sears volume, not a little dealer’s margins.) Craftsman Labs test every new product thoroughly to make sure it meets their consumer’s quality needs.)

Sometimes, Craftsman branded products consist of special functions or functions that identify them from the manufacturer’s brand name or other brand names made by the producer. In other cases, Craftsman products with models from other brand names have the very same name.
I’ve known for a long time that Craftsman lawnmowers are made not in the States, but somewhere in China. But, guys, it’s not so much whether this product is Chinese or local. Quality and durability have already proven themselves well. I have already advised many of my friends to buy a lawn mower from Craftsman for their yard. No one has complained yet )))
After last year (2019) I badly bruised my groin on the handle of a Honda lawnmower, I decided to get rid of it (from the lawnmower, not from my groin ))) . I began to look for options for my 1 acre, so that this spring of 2020 I will already start to remove the first grass. I Liked Craftsman M215. I followed him in my pickup truck to Woodlands and hit my groin on a Husqvarna Robotic LawnMower in the store. But I thought … nooo. Better a Chinese Craftsman than an aggressive Husqvarna.
