Very Dangerous! Cannot Believe John Deere Has Not Recalled!
By Joellen K.
Traverse City, Michigan
Review Posted 07/10/2019
This tractor is so dangerous. It has poor metal quality. It continues to come apart. When it comes apart it digs in the ground and goes on end. You hope you are quick enough to turn of the mower. We are going to stop using outs. Very disappointed in John Deere. Thought they had better quality.

Review Posted 07/09/2019
Bought mower at Lowes 2015, ran great. Have had to replace both spindles and the forward deck support has come loose on several occasions allowing the deck to plow into the ground and possibly causing injury. I have pictures to show. Considering modifying mount to try and fix the problem, nothing found from John Deere to fix it yet. For the price it was good however the danger outweigh the value. I believe a simple addition of a 50 cent pin can solve the problem. We will see.

Great machine! Does the job well and fast. I mow about 2 & 1/2 acres of land and it looks great afterward. No complaints at all. Kids also love this tractor!
I see some people gripe about not having a gas gauge, honestly, you don't need one. Just get off your butt and look at the tank. It's clear and easy to see the level of gas.

This mower is great to mow with. It's fast and I do enjoy the ability to cut around trees.
Yes, there is a down-side. Like every one else that has wrote a review, I complain about " No way to gauge the gas"... (This needs to be taken care of).

Review Posted 08/26/2016
Love the JD 255.....I have had only one issue...the front tire spindle will rust and front wheel will not turn.....I did get the wheel removed, sanded off the rust and added grease....back to normal now......CONS: no matter what I do, I have not been able to tamper down the amount of dust and debris this machine generates. I have added rubber floor mats over the floor grille and over the front, still doesn't quite keep me clean. It is a mess....do other machines/brands have this same problem?

SAFETY ISSUE AND MORE
By Doug Y.

Review Posted 04/06/2016
Very poor design and reliability. No sight gauge to check fuel. Can not drain oil completely due to hose can not be extended beyond 90 degrees. Parking brake cable broke first 100 hours. Front deck attachment has come of three times allowing deck to fall into grass and causing the mower to stop immediately as the deck digs into dirt. Daughter thrown forward and off mover injuring herself.
SAFETY ISSUED SHOULD BE RECALLED Difficult to jump battery since battery in under seat and jumper cables won't fit because seat has to be down to start. Seat has no support when tilled forward and the top of seat rest on the frame causing distress on top of seat. Difficult to start. I use 100% gas and drain per manual over winter. It does a nice job of mowing

Bought at Lowes, took it home for cutting 3-1/2 acres. Had a blast with it. It cuts great and very quickly. Lawn looks great. I don't like not having a fuel gauge. Mower seems to be built sturdy. I will review at the end of summer mowing.

Review Posted 06/24/2014
I bought 1 John Deere Z255. First month it died, take to John Deere dealer in Albmarle, NC paid $60.00. Dealer replaced gas filter. Dealer say it is not warranty. Now it is dead. Don't ever buy John Deere if you are looking for lawn mower. I call the 800# in the manual customer service told me they don't deal with lawn mowers.
