JDs are great, last forever, easy to maintain, have great resale if you need
to sell. I sold a 22 year old JD riding mower for more than a 16 year old
car. Parts are easy to get. One word of advice, buy it from a JD dealer not
a mass marketer such as Home Depot. You will find in most cases a better
selection, ready parts supply, personal service and a negotiable price, just
like buying a car.

I was thinking more on the L118 with a bagger...

The maintance plan seems reasonable...


Has anyone owned a deere that wants to share some info?

JD is some of the best around. Think about mulching blades instead of
bagging though. Save the bagger for leaves but use the clippings to help
keep nitrogen in the soil.
