I purchased a new X300 lawn tractor the last Saturday of April this year. I used it twice and in the middle of the second cutting, only 13 days after the purchase, it started running bad. I took it back to the dealer that day and they went to work on it immediately. They called me two hours later and said it was ready, that a push rod had come loose. They repaired it, tested it, and loaded back up for me. Today, with only 32 hours on it, it is running bad again and seems to have the exact same symptoms.
Unfortunately, it is after hours on a Saturday, so no help or satisfaction today and the grass needs cutting desperately. I guess I have to break out the old cheap MTD I bought from Walmart many years ago, while my expensive, financed, John Deere sits quietly buy. The MTD has never failed to crank... It is just worn from use.
Has anyone else experienced this problem with an X series tractor?
My big Kubota tractor has never given me a moments trouble and never lets me down. Hope. I didn't buy the wrong brand. What is the John Deere policy on something like this? I will always be Leary of this one. It is only 3 months old with serious engine trouble twice. A replacement seems in order to me, or give me my money back and
Let me try my luck with a Kubota, etc. This is NOT a dealer complaint. They treated me good last time and I can't fault them for not being open on Saturday afternoon.
I just don't want to keep taking it back and wondering every time I crank it if it will cut the grass without going belly up.
Frustrated!
