JD175 John Deere
John Deere 175 True Workhorse
Model Year: 0

They no longer make this mower and they sure don't make mowers like this one anymore. Has to be one of the best mowers ever built by John Deere. I have a 175 and 185 both over twenty years old and still going strong! Kawasaki FC420V and FC540V engines absolutely amazing!

Pros: Very reliable.
Cons: Not a single one.

JD175 John Deere
175 Hydro
Model Year: 1990

Picked up this little tractor as my first. Well taken care of over its life. Solid machine all the features I was looking for, and the price was right. The 14 horse engine is just the right size for the back yard handles small hills no problem.

Pros: Strong running well built machine.
Cons: Haven't really found any yet.

JD175 John Deere
Hydro 175
Model Year: 1990

This is new to me so it needs a bit of tender loving care. It is a good machine that can be adjusted to your needs. It changes attachments easily enough with a little effort. So far it's a very good machine.

Pros: Good attachments.
Cons: None as of yet.
