Stop in for a cup of coffee

Go to a John Deere dealer to buy. The dealer may sell the Lowes model for a similar price but it means a lot to the dealer when you buy from them especially if you need service or warranty repairs. Lowes doesn't do repairs on what they sell.

Agree but you can find your local JD dealer, mine is Washington Tractor, I've had them do some maintenance and I've bought parts from them.
