The mower was delivered with a dead battery. Very dusty and my guess had been sitting outside for a while.

Very happy with this, only 5 hrs on the machine but does the job for a 1.5 acre grass yard. Excited to use it more on the property.

Great upgrade from old John Deere. Utility cart a perfect addition. Never thought it would be used as much as it is.

Only used it twice at this point, but it’s nights & day from the Troy built I previously had. Love it so far.

It is boring but reliable. Does the job of mowing, stable and sturdy. The engine is powerful enough to make quick passes and cover large yards and the deck is small enough for smaller spaces.

This mower burns our grass when you stop anywhere
This is a nice mower but when you stop the heat from the exhaust is burning our grass making dead spots. I might have to return it and get a different brand. JD do you have a fix for this? 2700 and it burns grass pretty sad.

We apologize for this experience. This can happen if the unit sits idle while running especially during dry seasons when grass is already stressed. We recommend speaking with your dealer though to find a solution that works best for you and your yard. You can find your local dealer at Deere.com/Dealer.

      Not assembled correctly, fortunately I caught problems before I mowed. My advice? Buy from a real authorized dealer.

      Haven't had it long, maybe I've run it for 10 hours, but it is meeting all expectations so far. Everything seems to be working well, I've had no issues from day 1.

      This replaces my X300 series John Deere. Everything seems solid - it mows my acre just fine. A few small details I like better and a few I like less, but overall, this seems to be a similar replacement. We'll see in 12 years if it is as reliable as the X300.
