John Deere Company Complaint - GT 225 night mare

Complaint

Review by TC central fla on 2010-05-15

After purchasing a John Deere GT225 in 2004 for $3400 I found to mower appeared to be built to last. Last year 2009 with the hour gauge showing 286 hrs. I took the mower for service as I did every year after they replace the magnetic clutch and serviced the 15 HP Kohler to the tune of $400. 1 hour later the 15hp Kohler motor blew. The top hood was dry cracked and the bumper was dry cracked. I sold the mower for scrap and would not be a John Deere customer again. John Deere is living on it's past record BEWARE...
