Deere Caught in the Headlights!

bymevande Feb 5, 2005
16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 7 Comments
Pros Great Cut when working. Good mulching design, left no grass clumps behind.
Cons Reliability. This model was a nightmare.
Recommended it? No

I purchased a mower similar to this. The JX85 is the replacement. I spent allot of money to get a quality first rate lawn mower. It had it "quirks" the first 2 years, bracket that engaged self propel mechanism fell apart 3 times. Then just this past week while mowing even ground it began to shake... Read full review »

Quality??? Not the greatest

Pros Starts every time
Cons poor build quality
Recommended it? No

This mower cuts well. Starts first pull almost every time. Has plenty of horsepower to cut my Floratam grass. Only problems, had to replace the gas tank after one year. Now have to replace the front casters. Very poor design as they easily bend. I expected a lot more from this mower. I have bought... Read full review »

Take Care of Your Mower and It'll Take Care of Your Lawn

Pros Powerful, 3 Speed Self Propel, Easy to Start, 3 in 1
Cons Requires a LOT of Maintenance
Recommended it? Yes

Mowing the lawn is an American Tradition. Chances are, if you look inside a homeowners tool shed, you'll find a lawn mower, whether it is gasoline, electric, reel, or a tractor. Nothing ruins a tradition more than something not working. That is why we maintain our lawn mowers, and the John Deere... Read full review »

Not a real John Deere

Pros Easy start
Cons weak caster wheels, small/dirty bag and no throttle.
Recommended it? No

I've owned mine for three years now. The only problem I've had with it, the caster wheels. Had to have them replaced after they bent. The replacements where re-enforced. You would think they would have replaced them free knowing it had a defective part

2ND Review:
I had to replace... Read full review »

Pros Nice green color.
Cons Want a terrible experience? Buy this mower.
Recommended it? No

Horrible experience with this mower. Problems starting right off the bat. Primer bulb started leaking gas out when pushed, this within 2 months. Drive sheath pin where pulley sits failed right after warranty was out. Way to expensive to fix, I will buy another mower, and it won't be a John Deere... Read full review »

Pros Works great when running
Cons Poor quality for components, breaks way too frequently
Recommended it? No

This mower has been nothing but problems since I got it 3 years ago. It had a weld spot for one of the engage levers snap, needed replacement for a drive belt that broke which caused the cable wire & spring for the self propulsion to break. My yard is .5 acre and I take meticulous care of the mower... Read full review »

Pros Great cutting and mulching
Cons Poor selection of speed selections
Recommended it? Yes

I have had mine for 5 years, and I use mine quite a bit because I have a thick lawn. I like having the blade brake clutch, because I have small children and am always getting distracted while I mow and have to stop and start without shutting off the engine.

The first few years I had no... Read full review »

Disappointing Deere

15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Starts Easy, Full Pressure Lubrication.
Cons Poor Quality for this price range. Controls could be better quality.
Recommended it? No

I pains me to write this review, as I have bled green for many, many years. I purchased a new JX75 at the beginning of the season and was sure I would be more than pleased with my purchase. At $800, I was sure that I had the best mower money could buy......I was WRONG! The good: The mower starts on... Read full review »

Pros The mower cuts good and bags good but?
Cons JD's customer Service is terrible!
Recommended it? No

The mower does a nice job of mulching and bagging but it should for the price I paid. The cable that adjust the transmission speed has broken every year I had it. Customer service is very bad at JD, its like they are programed to give good paying customers a hard time. I think I should have just... Read full review »
