I've had my JD LT150 for three years. I mow 1/2 an acre, lots of hillside,
with it weekly. I bought it from the JD dealer. I've had excellent service
and support. If it ever wears out (doubtful at this point) I will buy
another Deere. It only cost an extra nickel to go first class and most of
the time, it's worth it.

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.

I agree with that I bought a LT120 last year when I moved to a new
house.
It was about 3 weeks from the time I bought it and tehy delivered it tuil
I
decided to mow. I mowed about 100 feet and the mower quit. I cranked it
up
again and went about another 100 feet and it quit. after about 3 more
times
of that I gave up. Went by the dealer and he sent out a man to pick it up
and they found the seat switch was defective and replaced the seat from
another mower they had in stock. Then they brought it back to the house
with no charge. Hard telling what the service policy would have been at
HD
which was about 25 miles away from the house. The JD shop was only about
7
miles away.
