Does anyone know anything about the John Deere 100 series? Are they
reliable?
Home Depot is featuring those.
The L100 is $1500 and the L110 is $1800. This seems pretty cheap.
I am looking for a mower. I just bought a house with 1 acre.

I'm a big fan of Deere, but have heard bad things about their low end. If
you look at these tractors up close, they look pretty cheap. I have a
"real" Deere bought from a dealer which cost about 3x as much, but is built
like a tank.

you get what you pay for cheap in price is cheap in quality no matter what
brand it is.

Hi Jim,
Those are good mowers, but if your going to spend that kind of money,
why not get a Honda?
Also,here's something to think about. Home Depot won't help you if
you have a problem after 30 days. I bought a John Deere brush cutter &
ALL of the attachments from them & have had a lot of problems trying
to find anyone to do warranty work. Also,if you buy from HD,be sure &
save your receipt or you are really screwed. I have mine stapled
inside the owners manual of each piece of equipment.DON'T keep them in
your wallet or the print disappears. If I had it to do over, I would
buy from a REAL dealer. Home Depot prices sure make it hard not to buy
from them,but getting warranty work is a pain. Well, thats my 2 cents.
Good Luck,
David

Because Deere is better?

True. According to JD's website, their dealers will help you out. To what
degree remains to be seen...
