John Deere Lawn Tractor

Pros: Built Tough, Great Power
Cons: I spend more time on mower then I did on snowmobile.

I never really concidered lawn maintence with much vigor when I was young. To me it was a pain in the but job that kept me from my friends. My Dad on the other hand seamed to like it, really enjoyed it. Dad's gone and I am the age he was then and I am...

Pros: There are many refinements of basic lawn tractor technology.
Cons: It is expensive, and it doesn't cut in reverse.

I bought it for the cup holder. I've had three "riding lawn mowers" over the years. None of them had a cup holder. None of them had headlights either for that matter.

I've been taking care of three and a half acres of wooded, and sometimes...

Pros: AWS is a huge advantage on complex lot, wide cutting deck, automatic transmission
Cons: Big Bucks! Bumping the cutting deck can dislodge it from it's hangers

I have a country place with five acres of rolling meadow with nearly a thousand small (2 foot) to large (10 foot) trees. Cutting the grass is a huge multi hour job due to the numerous trees to manouevre around. I needed a riding mower that could cut 1 to...

Pros: Smooth for v-twin diesel, powerful.
Cons: PTO drops out when reversing

I mow about five acres. Most of it is mowed with a Ford 1920 and a 72 inch mower. There are a number of areas that are too tight and small for the big Ford. I wanted another diesel since I like diesels and have fuel on my property. I needed a small...

Pros: Your neighbors turn green with envy.
Cons: Expensive and there so pretty you will hate to get it dirty

I recently purchased the LX277 to replace my 10 year old LX178 Johndeere that was a excellent lawn tractor and very simiular to this one.I am a Johndeere fan from way back. The LX277 is from the top of the line LX series models from Johndeere.It is po ...

Pros: reliable, easy to use, well designed
Cons: cost

I've owned my LX277 for over a year now, which should give a good basis for a review. I selected a John Deere because of it's reputation - by more than one person.

I went with this model becase it was the largest of the air-cooled models....

Pros: Quality, smoothness,engine,comfort, flexability
Cons: price

At first glance John Deere products seemed insanely priced. Compared with your average $1500 mower that is. Heres my advice. Test drive a cheap tractor and then test drive a Deere, its that simple. You can feel the difference. The LX 277 has many great...

Pros: Dependable, Cheap, Great Bagging system
Cons: Not liquid cooled & can only handle a 42" deck.

We purchased the LX255 Lawn Tractor about 3 years ago when we first started our landscaping business. Money was tight so we couldn't afford any of larger mowers. I felt for the money(around $3000 w/bagger) that this John Deere had the best features....

Pros: Smooth riding, ease of steering, relatively quiet, positive speed control with pedals.
Cons: Fuel level not easy to view, especially if using bagger.

We have had our LX255 for two years now. We use it in conjunction with a sears lawn tractor the same size but stick shift, to mow about three acres. I use the LX255 when mowing by myself but my wife and teenage kids use it when running the lawn...

Pros: Quiet, strong Kawasaki Engine, easy to remove deck
Cons: Safety Feature mowing in reverse

After owning many disposable lawn mowers such as Craftsman, Snapper, and Cub Cadet, my wife and I decided to buy a real Lawn Mower. The mower was for her as she uses it to trim around our 3 acre pond and the many trees on our farm. I use a 72" Rhino...

Pros: Powerful, Fuel Efficient, Durable, and Reliable.
Cons: Has the back up P.T.O. Safety shut off Switch.

I worked for a John Deere Dealership in the late 1990's and early 2000 and set up new Lawn Mowers. I also took these new Mowers out to demo to prospective Customers. One of my favorite new Tractors that came out in 2000 was the John Deere 355D. The ...

Pros: Cuts down the time it takes to mow your lawn
Cons: Cant mow in reverse due to safety feature

I purchased a John Deer LX 277 this past summer. This lawn mower is one real go-getter. I purchased a John Deere 111 in 1989 and I got it used and it is still going, but we needed another one due to the expansion of our yard. The LX 277 comes with a...

Pros: Mows grass excellent
Cons: None

This tractor does an excellent job mowing. The hydro transmission is wonderful with the foot controls. It has plenty of power to pull a trailer or other stuff. I use it in the winter with a snowblower and absolutely love it. The only problem I have had...

Pros: Convenience, Comfort, Reliability
Cons: Only Price

We recently purchased a new home on a 1 acre lot. I knew I would want a lawn tractor. I began a rather intensive process of research which ranged from Wal-Mart and Home Depot to Deere, Simplicity, Cub Cadet and Toro.

I came into the...

Pros: Easy to operate, Freedom deck, safety features, access to parts and accessories
Cons: Expensive, rattles

I bought this last year after using a Yamaha lawn tractor for years. The Yamaha was really nice so I thought the John Deere would have a tough time filling its shoes. The John Deere was a pleasant surprise. It is very smooth and refined. The deck...
