John Deere salesman told me the only difference between the cheap ones at Lowes and the Deere Lowes sells is the green paint. Told me to never buy a Deere from Lowes. Dont know if he was telling truth or being a salesman.....bigwheel said:You know they had a John Deere at Lowes..not priced much different than the rest. What makes them mo special than the others?
