LT166 John Deere
LT 166
Model Year: 1997

Overall has been a great tractor! Extremely quite. It has the Freedom 42" mulching deck. I love the deck, but when turning sharp it seems to miss areas. The headlights are chincy also. It does not have an electric PTO, and I am glad. I have only changed the drive belt once on this tractor. I also have a 1999 Cub Cadet 2185. The Cub Cadet is a more comfortable ride, but I will take the JD over it anytime!

Pros: quite and runs smoothly
Cons: Chincy headlights, not easy changing drive belt
