The Top John Deere Tractor Models

In this world there are many names that, when spoken, command respect. They are spoken and people automatically trust them. John Deere is one of those names. Anyone who has ever mowed a lawn, plowed a field, or even played with toy tractors as a child knows that name. John Deere Tractors is a household phrase that people have come to rely on.

According to Consumer Reports, the John Deere X304 is the top rated of the automatic drive model tractors. Justification for this rating falls in the very design of the tractor itself. This lawn tractor has cruise control. Ideal for lawns riddled with obstacles, the X304 cuts extremely close to trees and shrubs leaving a very minimal amount of grass to be trimmed. It offers smooth and even cutting. This model is very user friendly and the different attachments are easy to take on and off. The clippings bag has a large capacity allowing you to mow a larger area before having to stop and dump it. The easy to adjust cutting deck has a 42 inch radius. This allows you to make fewer passes over your yard, cutting your work load down to size.

This mulching mower is preferred for its superior cutting, mulching, and tight turning maneuverability. The automatic drive as well as the cruise control feature makes for a very comfortable drive. One main drawback to this particular tractor is the price. It sells for an average of $3,500 but it does come with a long warranty.

For those on a tighter budget, the John Deere LA115 is an economical solution selling for an average of $1,650 and is a model designed specifically for homeowners with smaller, flat lawns that are generally free from obstacles. This model also offers a comfortable ride with an adjustable seat and headlamps. It was not designed to cut as closely as the previously mentioned tractor but has a 42 inch, two wheeled cutting deck. This lawn tractor has strong performance while bagging and mulching but the kits to do both must be purchased separately.

The John Deere LA115 does not handle taller grasses and weeds as good as the X304. It has a strong engine but will show its limitations when being forced up inclines and can take a few passes to get the really stubborn weed patches and even after the weeds or rougher patches are cut, they may be uneven. This tractor is easy to clean via the built in wash port. All in all, the John Deere LA115 Lawn Tractor is an excellent, economical model for the homeowner with light to medium mowing needs.

Basically, if you have a lawn, a garden, a field, or anything out of doors that needs plowed, mowed, or trimmed, there is a new or used John Deere Tractor that is sure to fit your specific needs and budget. With all of the optional attachments like mulching, bagging, or snow blowing you can make the job and your life run like a Deere, a John Deere.
