Hi, I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that the Cub and Deere models
sold at Home Depot are the bottom feeders?
the Deere that are sold at Home depot are Imported tractors made by
IIRC MTD...
Don't know where you get your information from, but last
year while shopping for a new lawn tractor I asked my Deere
dealer that very question. His reply was that they are
exactly the same machines, from the same assembly lines,
etc. Even though his price was a couple of hundred dollars
more than HD I bought from him and haven't regretted it. He
delivered it free even though I live some forty miles away,
and last September one of his mechanic showed up at my door
to replace the two front spindles which apparently had a
manufacturing defect (camber angle, I think it was). Upon
the original delivery of the machine, his guy spent time
with me going over the whole machine and it's operation and
answering any questions that I had.
So, even though they are the same machines it's probably
better to buy from the Deere dealer for the quality of
service you get as compared to HD.
Ymmv.

if you want a DEERE tractor got to an Equipment dealer,
and get a real deere tractor. probably more expensive... then compare
that to a blue one like the boomer series from New Holland. the real
question is, how big of a yard do you have? and what do you want to do
with the tractor?
