We have a John Deere and I love it - I had found emptying the grassbox
on our mower more and more tiring and difficult, and of course with
mulching you don't need to empty it - but the best thing on our John
Deere that I hadn't seen anywhere else is the swivelling front wheels,
which make turning really easy. We have a back lawn with a tree stump in
the middle, and I can just go round and round in ever widening
circles... (you can lock them if you want to go straight). I now expect
to be able to mow until I'm in my dotage!

Thanks Klara and others for their replies.

It seems like my hutch to trust john deere is well placed.

I must say, the JS63 model - I hadn't considered the option of the swivelling front wheels - it just looks so odd and I thought it might be weak and likely to break etc - after all, I am looking for 20 years service from my mower.

Having said that, I can see the real benefits and will now think VERY seriously about the JS63 model that has those swivel wheels instead of the one I had been thinking of without them.

Cheers!

Any ideas of recs on best place to buy?
