John Deere Lawn Tractor

Pros: Is pretty I suppose
Cons: Poor quality...poor customer service.....poor operation

Purchased a John Deere L100 in late 04 because my cheap rear engined 8 hp Murray rider finally gave it up after 8 years (much of the first years riding over some pretty dusty, rough terrain).  I was at a new house with a bigger, nice smooth sodded ...

Pros: Good power, good fuel economy, easy starting.
Cons: Price, defective mower deck, poor warranty support, poor customer service.

My husband and I purchased a new John Deere LA100 from Lowes in May, 2007. On June 13, 2008, the right mower spindle tore out of the mower deck while I was mowing a level lawn. I expected the deck to be covered by the standard 2-year warranty on ...

Pros: Powerful, Fuel Efficient, Durable, and Reliable.
Cons: Has the back up P.T.O. Safety shut off Switch.

I worked for a John Deere Dealership in the late 1990's and early 2000 and set up new Lawn Mowers. I also took these new Mowers out to demo to prospective Customers. One of my favorite new Tractors that came out in 2000 was the John Deere 355D. The ...

Pros: Hydrostatic transmission, cruise control feature, foot-operated implement lift pedal.
Cons: Hard to start in cold weather, air filter clogs quickly. Harsh PTO engagement.

I purchased the John Deere LX 288 lawn tractor with the 38" mowing deck, single stage snowthrower, four 10# suitcase weights and a set of tire chains. The tractor has an 18hp 2-cylinder liquid cooled gasoline engine with electric start. The ...

Pros: Your neighbors turn green with envy.
Cons: Expensive and there so pretty you will hate to get it dirty

I recently purchased the LX277 to replace my 10 year old LX178 Johndeere that was a excellent lawn tractor and very simiular to this one.I am a Johndeere fan from way back. The LX277 is from the top of the line LX series models from Johndeere.It is po ...

Pros: Ride, solid feel, accesories
Cons: Dealer service & knowledge

Talk to several dealers. The knowledge amount varies considerably. I was set to buy the Freedom 42 deck at the first dealer after checking out the website and going to the dealership and test driving several models. I looked at the LT180 and...

Pros: Smooth riding, ease of steering, relatively quiet, positive speed control with pedals.
Cons: Fuel level not easy to view, especially if using bagger.

We have had our LX255 for two years now. We use it in conjunction with a sears lawn tractor the same size but stick shift, to mow about three acres. I use the LX255 when mowing by myself but my wife and teenage kids use it when running the lawn...

Pros: Quality, smoothness,engine,comfort, flexability
Cons: price

At first glance John Deere products seemed insanely priced. Compared with your average $1500 mower that is. Heres my advice. Test drive a cheap tractor and then test drive a Deere, its that simple. You can feel the difference. The LX 277 has many great...

Pros: Built Tough, Great Power
Cons: I spend more time on mower then I did on snowmobile.

I never really concidered lawn maintence with much vigor when I was young. To me it was a pain in the but job that kept me from my friends. My Dad on the other hand seamed to like it, really enjoyed it. Dad's gone and I am the age he was then and I am...

Pros: Nice powerplant. Solid construction. Easy to use. Multiple attachments.
Cons: Pricey.

There's an old saying that I'm sure you've all heard of:

There are two constants in the universe: Death and Taxes

Well, I submit that there is another constant - Lawn Maintenance.

After avoiding this constant over...

Pros: Sharp turns, quality motor, easy mower deck removal.
Cons: Too many safety features, price. Placement of the cruise control.

My old 300 gave up the ghost so I traded it in on an LX277.
I had some doubt about downsizing but figured that all I am going to do is mow with it. I no longer had need for the blade and tiller either. The one feature that I miss on the
LX277...

Pros: There are many refinements of basic lawn tractor technology.
Cons: It is expensive, and it doesn't cut in reverse.

I bought it for the cup holder. I've had three "riding lawn mowers" over the years. None of them had a cup holder. None of them had headlights either for that matter.

I've been taking care of three and a half acres of wooded, and sometimes...

Pros: Smooth for v-twin diesel, powerful.
Cons: PTO drops out when reversing

I mow about five acres. Most of it is mowed with a Ford 1920 and a 72 inch mower. There are a number of areas that are too tight and small for the big Ford. I wanted another diesel since I like diesels and have fuel on my property. I needed a small...

Pros: 17 horses, top quality, easy to reverse, quick mowing
Cons: If you leave your seat, the mower cuts off

We have always used a Deere in my family and have always been satisfied. The LX277 is no exception. We have had the mower for about two years or so and have experienced few problems. Our neighbors own a Cub Cadet and we notice they experience problems...

Pros: Mows grass excellent
Cons: None

This tractor does an excellent job mowing. The hydro transmission is wonderful with the foot controls. It has plenty of power to pull a trailer or other stuff. I use it in the winter with a snowblower and absolutely love it. The only problem I have had...
