- Just bought this brand new lawn tractor at Home Depot with 2-day Delivery for free.
www.homedepot.com/p/Murray-MT...
Overall, pretty happy with this purchase so far but we’ll see how long it lasts.
Update: I was able to hit a top speed of 6 mph after a few uses. It also no longer backfires. Maybe it just took some time for the oil/engine to settle in or something. I’m not sure.
I am by no means an expert in lawn care. Just an average home owner who occasionally mows the lawn. This is a huge upgrade from my push mower!

Hey John I'm Brendon your engine is popping because you put it on choke put it at full throttle that's where you should mow at cause you gotta keep your engine nice and cool you have a flywheel fan that's supposed to spin at 3600 rpm and also your blades are designed to spin at their full potential to kick crap out your discharge chute.
Yep! Took me awhile to figure it out!
Agreed, John, you should feel a detent on the throttle where you should be running the engine when mowing, no matter what gear you select, the engine should be running at that high speed. Thanks for posting.
That's a brand new Murray better than my old one
Update: I was able to hit a top speed of 6 mph after a few uses. And it no longer backfires.
Guess it took some time for the oil/engine to settle in or something.
You should keep us updated with more videos of this lawnmower. 👍
Sure, I'll try to make some videos soon! Been so busy with summer projects lol
Thinking about picking one up tomorrow, would you recommend for less than 2 acre lot
It’s suggested for 2 acres or less on their site.
But, for me, If you’re close to 2 acres I’d suggest a zero turn if possible. They’re so much quicker.
If budget is tight, this will do the job fine but slower. Takes me 15-20 mins for .35 acres for reference
Hey is the mt200 worth the cost or should i hold off and get a ts248xd husqvarna im just mainly looking for a lawn tractor for towing my lawn cart sprayer and manure spreader and possibly my little flip disc harrow thats less than 180 pounds. Is the mower some what sturdy and power struggles? The most weight I'm towing is less than 300 pounds
Personally, I think this is only a starter lawn mower. Perfect for small lawns under 1 acre. Does the job in good time. Can’t vouch for the motor’s longevity but it performs as needed.
If I had 1 acre or more I’d definitely just say save up for a zero turn. But I’m happy with this one and would make the same purchase again for my needs
@JohnJuneJuly I have closer to a. Acnre of land and I had a old troy bilt 28 inch rear engine mower I used to culvate my garden beds that are about 10 x 20 feet it did okay the wheels were to small in a since. But hoesntly a zero doesn't fill all the categories that a lawn tractor does for me and also with a little further think I'm probably going to spend the extra 1500 and get a ts48xd husqvarna. Thank you for the review
I watched this video to determine my purchase. I needed a little more so I got the MT200 I have to say it does out do this mower. On full choke it will run between 2 mph and 5 mph. Definitely a good purchase for the MT200
John how is your mower doing after a while of use? Thank you in advance
It’s been almost 10 months and it’s still behaves like new! No problems with motor or blades yet with low maintenance. I’d only suggest this mower for 1 acre or less since it’s not as fast as a zero turn mower. But it will do the job at a fair speed
These were like $800 to $900 mowers 10 years ago
I wish that was the case now LOL
Man, I saying the exact same thing to my wife
800-900$ was worth more 10 years ago
@@maryjanemj9187 $800 was worth more 3 yrs ago!
Heck they used to put them on sale at the end of season for 900 at Walmart right up until covid
My first riding mower as the price seemed affordable. took me almost 3 hrs to mow half an acre. it moves really slow. is there a trick to make it move a bit faster while mowing
I suggest keeping blades sharp and setting your blades to cut higher. It’ll allow your mower to be more efficient if you want to cut at maximum speed.
This mower should get you 5-6 mph top speed so it shouldn’t take 3 hours. It takes me 25 mins for .35 acres and that’s mowing at 3 mph.
What gear are you mowing in?
you got the throttle level up too much that why it sound like that and its probably affecting the speed.
Sounds like some engine popping or back firing ?
Yeah I think backfiring. Maybe I need to clean the carburetor or smthng. Brand new so I’m confused. New oil and everything
@@JohnJuneJuly have to clean carb when brand new ? Easy pass. Thanks for posting
@@Bronco407I rly hope it’s not that but that’s what google suggested lol. Says it could also be too much oil that I put in or the type too so not sure
it sounds like the choke is engaged. does it have manual or auto choke? funny, most manufacturers and retailers will reveal that information in the specifications but for that mower, they keep that information hidden for some reason, just like the transmission. fuckers. that mower must be a piece of shit and they just don't want people to know it.
@@JohnJuneJuly you’re pushing the throttle up too much you have the choke on pull it down onto it locks in the full throttle
Cost of this lawn mower at time of video was $1799.00 at Home Depot.
Now is 1999 . LOL
Wow lol
Yep and the one I got, the MT200 is $2200 but Luckily we had a 10% off Coupon which took it to about $2 G's.@@dodge33445
@@dodge33445 No the 19 hp is 1999. This one is 1799
I Cant come off the brake that fast anything after 3rd Gear mine will pop a wheelie So i stick to 3rd as my top gear for anything
Same. It really takes off on 3 through 6 lol
Does it have 4wd or awd?
Nope only 2wd
Do you think the mt200 would be fine with a trailor to pull kids and wife with? lol I want to get for my lawn and my moms, and she only lives a couple streets over from me so i was going to get a trailor and pull them along with me
Mowers can generally tow their own weight so it could easily pull that much. It’s not advised but if you do it at a safe speed you’ll probably be alright
How do you mow without a gas pedal?
It just has forward or reverse mode. You only control the speed and press the brakes. Once you shift it into gear, it’ll just begin moving
The MT200 model has a gas pedal and automatic trans, The MT100 (shown here) has a manual trans and gear selector and a throttle that controls the speed. The brake pedal serves as the clutch and brake in one. I prefer the mowers without the gas pedal, so you don't have to keep a foot on the gas for hours at a time.
Why didn’t you get the 19hp for 1,999$?
It wasn’t in stock at the time and I was in desperate need of an upgrade from my push mower lol. Also figured it wouldn’t make a huge difference since I have less than .4 acres. It’s been great so far!
@@JohnJuneJulythank you.
Throttle all the way up is the choke on…
Got it running properly now. Took about 25 mins on low-mid throttle for it to run smoothly on full throttle
I think it's funny that NOBODY knows what kind of transmission it has. Is it a hydrostatic, gear, or plastic variable pulley transmission? Even Murray doesn't know. There's no mention of it on their website, and if you ask them, they don't know. The Home Depot website lists all the specifications of the mower EXCEPT the transmission.
Oh well, it doesn't really matter anyway because that mower will be discontinued soon. Home Depot just released a policy statement last week saying they intend to stop selling gas powered mowers over the next few years. Since home depot is the only store that sells that mower, it will have to be discontinued.
Wait, only HD sells Murray tractors? And do you have a link to that statement from HD?
@@paulschab8152 it's made by Ningbo Daye Garden Machinery company in China
Clearly says 6sp manual transmission on the add. Took seconds to find.
@@motoman7445 that doesn't say what kind of transmission it is. you can have a 6 speed gear transmission or a 6 speed plastic variable pulley transmission.
@@motoman7445 you're an even bigger idiot than murray
Talk about inflation before the pandemic these were 8 and 900.00.
Wow! 😮
Where? I never saw that in the last 30 Years. My parents Paid for (Sears) tractors over $1 G back in 1980's!
@@jackwilliams5474 so your parents were idiots, what's your point.
I got a MT200 which not much different from the 100. It's piece of junk. First when it was delivered it was covered in birdshit with no manual. Now I'm tearing up deck belts like they were free. HD does not support Murray now as they don't sell them anymore. HD failed, Murray failed, the belt failed, and I will never recommend any of their products. Lousy customer service, difficult parts to get at. and generally garbage all the way around.
😨that sucks man
@@JohnJuneJuly yeah it does 2 grand for junk.
Home Depot stills sells Murry riders.
What's wrong, you cant Talk?
I can, @JackWilliams. Why do you ask?
LOL, would have been nice to hear you give your review of the machine LOL!@@JohnJuneJuly
@@jackwilliams5474 yeah sorry I haven’t bought a proper mic yet but I can answer any questions here if you need. Though, I am no expert yet. Just an average user lol
Thanks man! And one doesn't even need a proper mic. I have used a webcam on my computer, or just any camera. I recently placed an order for the MT 200, and was curious about your thoughts on it. How are the features? How do you like it? Anything you don't like?@@JohnJuneJuly
@@jackwilliams5474 I’ve been on a few ride-on mowers and this one is definitely sufficient as an entry grade mower. It cuts well at a decent speed. I also just let it sit through winter in my garage and cranked it up just fine too. Only caveat is that it is a bit ‘jerky’ in higher gear but that may just be user error.. Overall, satisfied and would purchase again since it’s one of the cheapest ride-on mowers available
Easy with the throttle it’s not a light switch
