I bought a John Deere LT160 and have had a lot of trouble with it. I posted a review on this web page ( under the name DONTBYDEERE ) If you want to read it, anyway I read that alot of people out there are having trouble with their's also. I went to a web site ( ripoff reports dot com , spelled it out because some sites don't let you post other web sites addresses ). If anyone out there would like to, and hope you do please go there and post about your troubles.
