Have a 20 year old L120. Did the equivalent of an airline “D” check and took it completely apart. R&Red every thing, had the frame pan & deck sandblasted & powder coated. It’s good for another 20 years.

I’ve Ben looking for this for years. Thanks

My D155 has some normal wear and tear issues. At 255 hours,still stands almost as brand new. And I use for everything..:including caring wood,rocks,dirt,sand etc….and I abuse it,pulling over huge hills too.

Really appreciate all your vids. Thanks a lot for doing this!

I am confused, but I don't want to be labled a "Jack Ass that corrects you on your videos". I have what I feel are legitimate questions. Are you comparing Big Box store sold mowers vs company store mowers? It seems to me that if that is what the video is about, wouldn't you compare a JD L120 sold at a Big Box store to a JD L120 that is sold at a John Deere dealer. Here our JD dealers sell the same mowers that are at Home Depot and Lowes. Also, wouldn't you compare an L!20 to another, rather than an L120 with an X320. The L120 retailed for $2299 in 2005, as compared to an X320 that retailed for $4099 in 2006. To me that seems like comparing Cheverolet to Cadillac. When I worked for a Big Box store and got less expensive JD's in, they were made in Greenville Tennessee, and the more expensive ones were made in Horicon, Wisconsin. I actually asked the JD rep. "Are these made by MTD like the Troy-bilt and he said JD has never been made by MTD. I am sorry if you look at me as a jackass, but I was confused by your video.

Ive got a Honda 3011 rear engine rider from 1989. You would not believe how well its built.

If you own real Deere you can just look at the box store mowers and see the difference. l bought my first Deere in 71. It's a 110 and it is still mows today. My grandson fixed it up to like new. Old grandpa has a JD ZTURN and bought it at our local dealership. Love that machine.

Honey! Get the kids! New Mower Mike vid just dropped!

No matter where its made at that's a John Deere quality issue. They need better standards like back in the old days when quality was number 1 and the customer came first befor the greedy desk jockeys.

I've seen big box in dealerships

Not for nothing you have to compare the same model, that would make more sense of course different models make them different mowers or tractors depending how you look at things

I’ve got an older mower that I can’t find much info on. Should I feel confident that my xl280 with low hours is pretty durable/ heavy duty compared to big box mowers?

i wouldnt trade my briggs for anything la 125 14 years old no issues no rust and i have a e130 4 years old awesome just not a kawasucky fan lol

I was listening to this while driving, so not really watching it. When i heard the bang from the hammer on the hood, scared the $h!t outta me lmao

I dont think people understand what hes showing, hes demonstrating what your money can get you at a box store vs a dealership. Its not the experience hes talking about, its the quality of the machine that is sold at said places.

I get the idea of the thicker deck in the X300 but you really need to recheck your thickness measurement with the dial calipers on the metal, not one-handing it with a camera in your hand and calling it a quarter inch. The dial spun a full .100" at least as you pulled it off the deck. Slow down, and take your time, dude.

Your are comparing two different riding mowers not even closesl120 and x320 give your head a shake
