Happy with my investment
Recently had to buy a riding lawnmower for my new house because it has a fairly large lot. It is extremely easy to use right away and cuts great. Very happy with this purchase. Not the cheapest option out there but it's a John Deere and had home delivery through Home Depot which I needed. This is an investment and I'm planning on this lasting a long time. First impressions are good and I'm happy.

Excellent machine
Had a 360 mower bought 7 years ago paid 2000 back then — after warranty everything went wrong. Nothing like trying to start a machine after putting a new carb on, new oil change, new gas filter, storing it for winter and having the same issues. Went out and bought this beauty and she's been a joy to mow with. With all the great reviews I'm sure I will enjoy this for years.

After 9 hours of mowing
Great turning radius. Strong little tractor. Poor suspension so a rough ride.
