Pros At least the engine blew while still within warranty.
Cons Heavy, plastic wheels, poor mulching, drive speeds,
Recommended it? No

I bought the JS63C in 2003 for $540 in upstate NY. I was looking for a more powerful replacement for my ancient but dependable Snapper. While the power was there, the neatness / evenness of the cut was not. The casters are good for maneuverability, but the resulting cut while turning is ragged. The... Read full review »

Pros Engine starts well after priming.
Cons Clogging, weight, plastic wheels
Recommended it? No

I got this mower from my Dad when he moved out of our old homestead. I was stoked to have the John Deere logo on something and eagerly gave away my old Yardman mower.

I have two major complaints about the mower. It's heavy and it clogs easily with the least bit of moisture. I live in Ohio... Read full review »

Recommended it? No

Read these reviews carefully!! People who recently bought a mower are delighted. Those who have run it long enough to have problems are severely disappointed. The mower is overrated for that reason.

I had that exact same experience. Delighted for the first year or two, now increasingly... Read full review »

But sadly after only 3 months the problems began, first thing to go was the... Read full review »

Pros B&S engine parts easy to get. B&S engine not difficult to repair. Rear Drive.
Cons Heavy. Plastic wheels suck. Poor engine. Only JD dealers have mower parts.
Recommended it? No

OK. I've been running the JS63c (21in) for about 4 years now. In that time the biggest problem has been (Oh... I've had a lot of biggest problems.) The plastic wheels suck. The sleeve bearing separates from the wheel and you have to replace the wheel at $25 each. Getting mower parts through JD is a... Read full review »

Pros deck will not rust
Cons waste of money.
Recommended it? No

2 years ago I shelled out over $900 on a John Deere JX75 and through away my $200 mower. I cannot explain my disappointment. The JX75 doesn't do a bad job. It does the job that my $200 mower did and NO better. Furthermore, the JX75 is a bit heavier, even with an aluminum deck, which means it tends... Read full review »

After 4 years of using my mower, I noticed a metallic sounding noise when starting my mower. After taking it to my local John Deere Repair Center, they stated the mowers crankshaft had broken as a result of a product defect, as they have had similar problems with the JS63H. The only way to fix it... Read full review »

I am also a proud owner of a GT235. I bought it brand new in May of 2003, and it now has about 1060 hours on it. One day when I was out at the JD dealer and I saw that some one had traded in the 30" tiller for the GT235. I asked the dealer if he would let me rent it so that I could try it out. He...
