Strengths Its Green

Weaknesses Its Green, very expensive. Don't wash, but keep clean. You have to blow the grass from the air cooling fins almost daily, which is difficult to reach. Missed one time and had to replace head $700. Don't worry John Deere will give you a screen(installation extra) to help prevent such things from happening. Go figure!

Overall Very unhappy. I have other types of mowers that require 1/4 of the maintenance at 1/2 the cost. Will never own another!

Strengths Cuts mowing time in half. 2 acres every 4-5 days. Good blade speed stays ahead of the grass intake. very easy to operate. no electric motors to break down. extra strong one-piece deck that takes a lick without readjusting the alignment. Good on gas!

Weaknesses no beer cooler

Overall Would buy again. good quality. Note: buy an extra deck belt until you learn how to mow all over again!
