Ride On Lawn Mowers The Gold Standard - John Deere

When it comes to lawn care, there may be no better-known or highly-trusted name than John Deere. It is consistently popular, both at home and abroad, with one of the best reputations in the business. While a John Deere mower is definitely an investment – an expensive price tag has also been one of its defining characteristics – the company is expanding, designing a line of less-pricey-while-equally-efficient machines that will appeal to a wider customer base.

Now, while John Deere makes manual mowers, it is the gold standard for lawn tractors – that is, ride on mowers. While any ride on mower is naturally going to represent increased convenience for the owner, purchasing a John Deere ride on mower represents even greater ease in lawn care. The quality, durability, and speed of these mowers make them worth every penny. Here are some examples why:

John Deere has several lawn tractor models, with the best-selling machines being the LR135 and the X300. The LR135 really makes taking care of your lawn a breeze, thanks to its special features and overall design. First, you can choose whether you want to discharge the cuttings, or collect them. It has a large-width cutting deck, as well as rear collector, which emits electronic verbal warnings when it has reached its fill height. Equipped with two blades and a 13HP engine, as well as an automatic gearbox, it produces a neat cut in little time. This machine retails at approximately $3000, but its owners feel that this machine is well worth the expense.

Even more impressive is the John Deere X300 Lawn Tractor. It has all the same features as the LR135, plus additional elements that make it a real dynamo. This mower’s versatility is enhanced. Additional features include a steel frame and cast-iron front axle, for increased durability, and an open-back suspension seat and twin touch pedal control, for increased comfort. The X300’s air-cooled 17HP engine runs efficiently and quietly, producing a smooth ride – and a cutting experience which is as fast and enjoyable as possible. In fact, you may have so much fun riding on this mower that you’ll wish you had more lawn to cut!

Whatever model you choose, John Deere mowers will be the quickest ride available for your dollar – and after all, isn’t speed one of the two main reasons you’re looking for a ride on lawn mower? The other reason, comfort, is also forefront in the minds of John Deere designers. The cost may seem prohibitive at first, even in exchange for the increased speed and comfort, but keep in mind, as well, the durability of John Deere machines: these mowers will not break down or malfunction for years after purchase. If you are interested in making your lawn beautiful, and doing so for years in the future – with a minimum amount of time and effort on your part – a John Deere ride on is the mower for you.
