John Deere. The Lowes/Homey Depot models, the ‘D’ series, are garbage. Go to a JD dealer and get an X model. A few bucks more but heavier duty, much better engine, more features, and comes with a 4 year warranty, not the 2 year Lowes/HD come with.
I have an X350 and it works in a wooded lawn nicely.
That’s a garden tractor. He was asking about a lawn mower. You must be a salesman trying to upsell him into something he doesn’t want or need.
I have an LX John Deere I bought from a dealer in 2003, 9500 hrson it, irs about to give up ghost will but another.
“John Deere. The Lowes/Homey Depot models, the ‘D’ series, are garbage.”
They might not be the “Old” John Deere but they are decent machines. Maybe not if you are planning on using it for 20 years.
I have the 48” Home Depot one. They mow the lawn and do it reasonably well and if it dies in 4-5 years I’ll buy another. Just the piles of leaves this thing picks up is worth the price. I don’t baby it because it is just a lawn mower but I do the oil changes and greasings. I’ve had it for 3 years and it still seems new to me.
