I have 93 hours and it is just shy of being 3 years old. I am now looking at a $500 repair from the local dealer.

The tractor cost me $1699. I had a craftsman tractor for 16 years and when it wore out, I decided to buy the top of the line.......WHAT A MISTAKE! Is this the kind of garbage a company like Deere puts on the market? The dealer tells me he has seen this on other occasions when the tractor has a Briggs & Stratton engine.

It will be a cold day in *** when I buy another product from JOHN Deere.

Look at the cheaper brands. They will last much longer without having to do a major repair.

Reason of review: Bad quality.

Monetary Loss: $600.

Preferred solution: Take care of the repair bill. 93 hours on an engine? .

My head gasket went last year, My D110 is now 11 years old. It is a $15 part if you can do the work yourself.

Guest

Same thing has happened to ours...no longer under warranty...about 115 hours and approx 3 years old. Dealer now says they are a piece of crap. Thanks a lot!

Guest

Mine had blown twice doesnโ€™t even have 100 hrs!

Guest

My Deere only had 41 hours WTF! So pissed!

Guest

Same here. At 200 hours. Apparently itโ€™s a common problem

Guest

72 hrs here, same as everyone else... with my end of year check up plus the new gasket - 730.20 - this is ridiculous. I had a Sabre for 17 yrs - only sold that when the deck fell apart - and it only needed maintenance.

Mine had 119 hours and the local John Deere dealership took me for 625.00 repair. Thatโ€™s almost half of what the damn thing cost me new. Waited so long to be able to afford what I thought was the top of the line in lawn tractors, guess the joke was on me.

Guest

86 hours on my D110 when the casket went. My last JD.

Guest

My head gasket went out after 27 hours. Cost me 550 as well.

*** rip off. The repair man said he has seen the gaskets go out as soon as 18 hours.

Guest

I have a JD GX 225 with about 200 hours. Head gasket just blew.

Itโ€™s been a great mower but I will never buy a Deere again. Especially after I learned this year they paid zero in federal income tax thanks to generous tax cuts.

A multimillion dollar corporation should be paying enough in taxes to feed a small country. Just sayinโ€™

Guest

Geez I'm not the only one. Mine only had 82 hours and its done... should have bought a craftsman ha ha

Guest

72 hours on my engine when the head gasket failed.

Guest

We replaced the engine in our John Deere riding mower. Now 2 yrs later blown head gasket!

Talk about a money pit!! Never buying one again!!!

Guest

E110. Blown head gasket. 2 hours!

Guest

Have John Deere tractor D105 Dealer tells me blown head gasket And tractor only had 110 hours Dealer wants $430 to repair Would not recommend anyone purchasing this brand ever Iโ€™m like previous poster and had Sears tractor for 15 years and Never had any problems John Deereโ€™s brand is forever tarnish In my mind

Guest

Mine blew at 26 hours

Guest

Mine just blew at 60 hours. Before this owned 2 Craftsman sit downs for a total of 20 years...

never had an issue. For the head gasket to go at 60 hours is ridiculous. Asked JD if maybe they wanted to pitch in a little on the repair. They strung me along for two months telling me they are talking to this person, that person, until I realized they were just waiting for me to go away.

this stuff is complete crap. Don't waste your money.

The D110 is really one of the cheaper machines and yes, I thing the B&S engine is rather suspect in the past few years. I gave away a 9 year old JD with a Briggs engine that had it's compression relief valve go bad.

Like yours, not worth fixing. Still started, but you had to turn the flywheel in order to start it. An irritating experience. I recently replaced it with an S240 which has a Kawasaki engine.

Wow!

Fantastic engine and starts extremely quickly and runs like a top and quiet. Just remember that the cheaper models of any brand are just that-----cheap.

Guest

40 hours and a blown gasket, 3 years old, WTF! Will not pay $500 for the repair, will attempt myself as there are good YouTube videos and seems easy, just time consuming. If it doesn't work out I'm selling As Is and getting a zero turn from a reputable company.

Guest

I have a John Deere D110 just over three years old with less than 70 hours. It is currently in the shop have the head gasket replaced. I purchased from Lowe's.
