The John Deere JS46 is downright dangerous. The bag has a design flaw that allows debris to fly up towards the operator. This mower should be recalled immediately.
It's a good lawn mower so far. I have had mine for about 3 months. Went from a 23 old snapper to this. I wouldn't recommend it over a snapper, but it seems to be the best lowes has to offer. little grass does come out of the bag, but its only noticeable if you stare at it. That shouldn't sway anyone away from buying it and can be fixed easily for a few bucks. It has an oil filter which should extend the life of the engine. Deere makes better quality mowers available at dealers, but you will spend over 500 on a good one! It cuts well, strong engine, and Mulches too, but don't set the blade too low.
Just bought one yesterday and took right back today. Faulty bag sealing, blade knocking and kept clogging in bagger chute. Grass was not wet or tall either. For money spent expect more. Do not recommend.
Tractor is a machine that is used to perform heavy work. Work of tractor can do depends on different sizes, number of attachments, and capacity. Tractors are always used for agriculture purposes, as they perform each and every activity in a field from plowing to cutting. In a way, a tractor is an engine of the truck trailer vehicle.
This is the most torque you can get in a 22 mower.has plenty of power to get job done.who bags today ? I live in florida the grass is so thick and corse that i have to sharpen blade every other cut.This machine doesnt skip a beat mulching .I forgot to mention that we mow early morn or eve when grass is damp still not a problem.i have owned alot of mowers that i had to return that couldnt handle the job .most recently returned famous orange brand with bbc and honda engine .what a joke it was the worst.this is a keeeper
A small percentage of these came with faulty bags.... issue was corrected with bag exchange. I have a 2010 model and it works just fine. Cuts well, it is easy to use and I like it. Bagging is not its best quality but certainly not the worst I have seen. Mulches great. It is really easy to start this engine! No need for bbc as you just turn the key and it is running. I think it is a great set of features at a reasonable price. I certainly recommend it.
I'm about to return my 3rd JS46. The first one wouldn't start with the battery. The second was leaking oil from the bottom (no didn't hit anything) this third one stopped starting with the battery and now runs for 15 minutes starts sputtering and turns off. I really do mot recommend this P.O.S. mower worst money ever spent.
Bought my JS46 today, will not start, period. Either the gas is not getting through, or the spark plug is bad, Regardless, looks like I am taking it back.
Well... against my better judgement I bought another one after the first was stolen. Used electric start once and lawn mower twice. I cant figure out the problem with the electric start. So, I guess i have to load it up and take it back to Lowes. I took the first one back THREE TIMES.
