John Deere Reviews

Unfortunately, I have been waiting my whole adult life to purchase a Deere. I have a shed that's painted in the green and yellow Deere colors and the real colors that the shed store purchased from Deere to my play set in green and yellow. I finally did it. Went to a local Deere dealer here on Long Island and got the Z320M zero turn. Besides the salesperson not giving me all the information needed about the John Deere promise, which is more like the haha, you thought so promise, it is the worst machine I have ever used.

Three weeks into cutting season with a brand new x370 riding mower - and the thing just stops dead in its tracks. Drivetrain/transmission belt came flying right off. The Oil filter was also on way too tight from the factory. Tried to convince the wife to go with a Cub Cadet but she wouldn’t listen. John Deere’s just aren't made like they used to be. Now the dealer is saying it’ll be weeks before the belt can be put back on. Something that should take only minutes.

John Deere is a disgrace to the American farming industry. You screwed John over. A farmer who you messed up a deal for and destroyed. Shame on you Rick! My family has been buying this over priced junk farm equipment for generation. Never again. We are now using your competitor. John Deere will be bankrupt in 10-15 years.

I bought A1025R with all the attachments from tractor central in Cameron Wisconsin $30000 package. I get it to my house, and I went to mow and only made it 1/4 of a round of my yard. And the PTO shaft came out from under the tractor. I called them. They came and picked it up after several attempts. They Let me have a loaner to mow my yard. And then in conversation with the salesman, I said that it was hard for me to believe there was no damage done under the tractor when the PTO shaft, let loose at 2100 RPM and he said that there was no damage done, except I had an oil leak and they fixed it.

I own an X758. This is the 4th John Deere mower I have purchased over the last 45 years. Very disappointed with the plastic construction of the steering column!! I have the same plastic parts in my 3039R tractor as well!! I have to say that my next investment this week will not be a Deere!! Going to Kubota!! Done with lower quality construction in your what should be higher standard machines!!

I have the recalled D105 lawn tractor. I keep it maintained until finely the plastic made cheap transmission failed. They designed this tractor to fail using plastic components as well as a poor engineering standpoint. My old craftsman at least had a removable back panel to access the rear where the d105 you must pick apart and drop the axle and transmission to get in there to replace a belt or other. The injection molding has empty cavities designed to trap grass and dirt around both primary and secondary areas of transmission should be made hollow on one side with flat side facing up. A whole threaded bolt for a bearing guide was another engineering flaw I seen. They make it to where they want you to bring it in to service to get more money from you.

I ordered a John Deere compact lawn mower back in early March and still to date they can't tell me when it'll be delivered. This is my fourth. The purchase of a compact tractor with john deere, the worst experience I've ever had maybe change brands next time.

I purchased a John Deere S130 Model Riding Mower and the product stopped moving in the middle of my mow. The product is less than a year old and under warranty. I called 2 separate John Deere locations - Both customer service professionals were curt and rude. They each told me it would be between 1.5 to weeks, to 1-month in order to fix. It is under warranty and they are still charging me for pick up and drop off to even look at the mower. The experience I am having currently is unacceptable. I would recommend anybody to STAY AWAY from any John Deere Product moving forward. This has just been an awful experience.

Heads up to anyone looking at new tractors, and are thinking about getting mulching kit. Don’t waste your money because they change design and it’s made out of plastic, so spent $320 for a piece of garbage that neither John Deere or Sunshine Solution Equipment want to stand behind their product. Buyer beware of these folks.

I purchased John Deere riding lawn mower in July 2025. At the start of the season 2026 it would not crank, Home Depot sent me to the local dealer to get service "James Rivers Equipment". They kept the mower for two weeks, when I Picked up the mower they said it was a loose battery terminal. They then asked for $76 for the service, I questioned the warrantee and was it informed it only covered manufacturer defects, so I said some one didn't tighten the cable correctly. James River and John Deere stand behind this and insist it's not covered. It's not the amount of money to tighten a loose battery terminal. It's the point of a warrantee which clearly they will find any way to get out of. Please anyone considering buying the more expensive John Deere product please be reconsider as the warrantee is worthless.
