I am doing a report for my job and have googled myself to death. I am looking for the average price of a Craftsman Riding Mower -1975- current, Craftsman Walk-Behind Mower 1975-current, and a Craftsman Weed Eater 1975- current, does anyone have any suggestions as to where I could find this information? I have exhausted all options and would greatly appreciate it!

I used the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to calculate the cost of these products in 1975 dollars. To test the CPI click below:

According to Sears.com, a Craftsman Riding Mower currently retails (on sale) for $1,299.99.
http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?vertical=LAWN&pid=07128721000&adCell=P3&BV_UseBVCookie=Yes
By useing the CPI calculator, I have determined the cost of the mower in 1975 would be estimated at $340.34
A Craftsman Walk-Behind Mower currently retails for, $249.99.

How good is the Toro E-cycler cordless mower?
Garry_Mitc
I am thinking of getting the Toro cordless mower and worried about how it cuts thick grass. My yard has thick grass and it has a lot of moisture. I am curious how dose this mower do by it being cordless? Also if not this mower how about the Toro gas mowers like the ones with the pace self propelled systems with either electric start or blade brakes? thank you
Answer
If you are looking for a Toro mower, I would go with recommendations by Consumer Reports. They just came out with their latest reviews of the top lawn mowers for this year and several Toro mowers are on the list. But they are all gas-powered. If you have a large yard and thick grass, I'd go with the gas mowers as it's more powerful than electric mowers.
