John Deere E140 Lawn Tractor

I purchased a John Deere E140 in June of 2019 at Lowe's in Johnstown, PA. This machine has been in the West Central Equipment store in Ebensburg, PA on two different occasions due to a defective ignition switch. The mower has malfunctioned again today. It will not start, and the engine does not turn over when I turn the key. The mower only has 49 operating hours. This is a reoccurring problem, and I feel that I have bought a "lemon". I should have never bought this high priced item at a box store that does not service the product. My mower is now 2 years old, and I have had problems from the start.

The Service Department at West Central Equipment has been extremely helpful in both of the prior times my mower has needed serviced. It is my intention to trade this E140 more in on a new riding mower at West Central Equipment.

Desired outcome: I would like John Deere to issue a partial payment to me when I purchase the new mower. I think 50% of the new mower after my trade value is a reasonable amount.

John Deere John deere s110 lawn tractor

In Feb 2001 I bought a john deere s110 lawn tractor. The front left tire came off the rim and rear tires deflated. I called Tillus who first said I bought tractor in Nov. I moved into a new house in Feb. How could that be. I told them you delivered this tractor after I purchased the house. Well they finally replaced the left front tractor but rear tractor tires go flat. They said I never mentioned that at time. Well tires coming off and tires not holding air are tire problems. Additionally tractor did not have a cover for right side compartment. My son bought a JD tractor and it did. Hom depot sells them and they do. Why doesn't JD dealer provide a cover?

I want someone in engineering to explain this [censored]! I do not want to hear from a dealer for service! This damn engine already had to have 2 service calls to replace the oil filter and housing because the damn jd oil filters wouldn`t come off... Now this [censored]!

John Deere John Deere 2025R

Exhaust outlet has burned the bottom of the left side panel. Hot exhaust gasses are blowing onto the plastic panel. The muffler outlet needs to be repositioned to direct gasses away from the tractor! Also, the parking brake does not engage. This tractor only has 12 hours on it! I am hoping john deere stands behind these issues. This is my third john deere I have owned, and the first one I have had problems with.

Desired outcome: FIX THE BRAKE and REPLACETHE LEFT SIDE PANEL AFTER REDIRECTING THE EXHAUST.

John Deere D110 Mower needs $1300 of repair after 60 hours of use

The mower has been occasionally been scalping my lawn for about a season even with the setting height at 4 inches.
Off to the dealer and they say the spindles need to be replaced and something about the steering. $1300 will get this done.
I live in the South with mainly a flat yard.
I purchased this in May 2014 for about $1800.
I certainly expected this product to last longer than 60 hours!
Obviously very poor quality.

Desired outcome: Provide a sizable trade in value for me to purchase a new s120.

John Deere z355e zero turn mower

I bought a Z355E Zero Turn Mower from Lowes about a year ago. Moved into a house with a decent sized yard, pretty flat but lots of trees, so that is what everyone recommended. What I didn't anticipate was raking up 200 bags of leaves last year. This year I said I'm going to buy a bagger for the mower... no way I doing all that raking. Imagine my shock to find out that John Deere, of all companies, does not make a bagger for this serial number of mower... what the heck? I can't even get a hitch for this mower... it is the "newer" model. I was told I can spend the money to put a 42"deck on it and then I can get a bagger but I didn't spend the extra money for 48" deck to convert it to a 42". I'm not happy and would like to know if/what John Deere plans to do to make a bagger for these mowers. Who spends almost $3000 on a mower and even thinks that it won't support a bagger? Come on John Deere, you guys are much better than this! My name is David Rhodes, email is [protected]@live.com and phone is [protected]... I'd love to hear something back!

John Deere x300 riding lawn mower

In July, 2014, my husband, Fred and I walked into Evergreen for the first time. We had bought a 2 acre property the year before and our used riding lawn mower just wasn't working as well as we'd hoped.
We met with a salesman, told him about our property and he told us we'd come to the right place. After explaining to him that our property was on a hill with some steep slopes, he showed us a few mowers that he said would be best for us to choose from. We aren't wealthy, in fact, we were living off of one income at the time. We decided on the X300 with the blower attachment (so we could clear our driveway in the Winter). This was a huge purchase for us; an over $7000 purchase. John Deere has a reputation for being reliable and long lasting; we felt this was an investment.

Last August (2018), that riding John Deere mower started slowing down. We have completed all of the recommended maintenance on it. It seemed to lose power after only 10 minutes of mowing. Conveniently, our warranty was up the month before. We continued to mow our lawn in spurts...all 2 acres of it.

This spring, we knew we had to figure out another solution. Our 5 year old riding lawn mower wasn't working well. We called a repairman (as we do not live close to Evergreen, nor do we have a trailer to transport our mower to you). He took the transmission with him, called your service department and was told it likely needed replacement. Your service department suggested that he replace the transmission fluid to see if that would help.

He replaced the oil with high grade transmission fluid and put our X300 back together for us.

Guess what? It had zero impact. The mower lost power and was useless after 10 minutes.

I'm furious.

We trusted your salesman when he told us this mower was a perfect option for our property. We trusted him when he said that the John Deeres at Evergreen were higher quality than the mowers at Home Depot with the same name. We trusted that our riding lawn mower would last for years.

Now we find out that the transmission needs replacing after only 5 years (really after 4 since the mower slowed down last year). Now we find out that the replacement cost for the transmission is $1200.

Unbelievable. Our riding lawn mower has 183 hours on it. This is ridiculous.

A quick google search results in hundreds of upset X300 owners...all with the same transmission problems.
Surely there is something you can do to help us?

$1200 ( plus labour) is just not acceptable.

John Deere john deere 2014 2032r tractor ser#1lv2032rlelh113333, 193 hours.

Tractor is Hard to get into H - L range without pushing the forward/reverse pedal. I have had this issue since I purchased the tractor in April 2016. I have had it in for service /repair 3 times. It is worse when you have a load in the front loader. Serviced/Repair by Tri-Green, Mount Juliet TN 8/23/2018, work order # 934216. The issue has not been resolved. Service manager said it could not been improved. Lyle Power the service manager says DTAC said that this issue is just the characteristic of the HST.

Resolution - Since I was not told prior to buying this tractor of this issue, I should be refunded for what I paid for the tractor.

John Deere Zero turn mower / dealer customer service

John Deere Z335 and Z345 R with faulty hydrostats. When questioned about it they clam up and will not respond. The problem is that the pumps are faulty and do not provide enough pressure. It burns up the hydrostats. The problem starts at around 20 hours and by 80 hours they are failing. They only have a 120 hour warranty. Other similar mowers from different companies have longer warranties. They will not stand behind their product. However, they still want a payment each month. Very untrustworthy. How can any business operate this way? I live in Tennessee. The local dealer is Tennessee Tractor. When I took the mower back to the dealer this is what happened. They kept my mower for a week, and during that time the salesman was the go between for the lead mechanic. He took my mower and put it up against the building to destroy my mower. Then called me, told me, the noise and the things it was doing was normal. When they knew from the start what was wrong with it form the start. They are selling them anyways. What they should have done and what most dealers will do is put in in the shop, order upgraded parts. Not tear my mower up worse and lie to me. The dealer and John Deere need to have something done.

I am very mechanically inclined and I knew they were dishonest the whole time. They took me for being stupid. They had no right to do what they did.

Bought John Deere Z535 ZTR and XUV Gator 3 years ago. Biggest pieces of crap ever. Nothing runs like a Deere into the shop for a lot of money and downtime. Never again. P&K in Edmond terrible service and didnt even fix half the problems. We thought we were buying good American made equipment that had a great reputation for quality and durability. What a joke.

John Deere Frequent flyer number blunder

Travel Docs,
Please investigate this matter looks like some blunder has happened with me, someone using my FREQUENT FLYER NUMBER for their benefits.
FF AI [protected]: This FF number has been assigned/logged to me at Pune airport on 23Oct2016 by Air India check-in window agent. I was travelling to Pune -Delhi-Chicago.
Now last week I was trying to log in using this FF number, it doesn't allow me to log in to check my points status and other details, therefore I have called to air India customer care and came to know that credentials which are assigned to this FF number are far different, not matching a single word with my credentials (Name, b'date, cell phone number, address). Customer care asked me to send an email to flying-returns.[protected]@iclployalty.com to investigate more but didn't get any reply back even after 48 hrs.

Recently, I have created new FF number which is [protected]. But I want my previous miles transferred to this new account, and need to investigate, that who was using the previous FF number to get benefits of my miles. Also I want complete statement of my previous FF number [protected]

John Deere Service from Dealership

I took my John Deere tractor there on June 22nd for repair and maintenance repair schedule. The person writing up the ticket said there was 4-5 people ahead of me and it would be 4-5 days what the salesperson John Tate said. I called on Friday the 26th and they told me there are 4-5 people ahead of me. John said when they start working on one repair and they don't have the parts they have to wait on the parts to finish it before they can work on other repairs. I went to a John Deere dealer in Gibson City, Illinois owned by John Arends and told them what had happened at Urbana dealer. he asked did I have the tractor with me and they said they could work on it and would be very happy to have my business. The same day I drove to AHWLLC in Urbana and picked up my tractor. I went into the business and spoke to John Miller about what had been told to me about the service on my tractor. He acted as if he did not care that I was picking up the tractor. He did not try to remedy the problem nor did he apologize for the service. I felt that my business with him was not wanted or important. I told him I was filing a complaint and he said you did? He said with who? I think this was very poor service and this dealer was very un-professional in handling the situation.

John Deere John Deere

I bought a John Deere push mower a couple of seasons ago. The deck is rusting apart. I called their customer service line and was instructed to take it to their authorized dealer, Central Jersey Equipment of Hammonton. They allegedly took pictures of rust and sent to John Deere. I did not hear back so I called after 2 weeks. I was told my claim was rejected and I could not speak to investigator from John Deere. They were rude and unprofessional. I wrote a letter to president, Samuel Allen about my issue. I never heard back so the poor customer service and product quality must be part of the culture of John Deere! I warn every unsuspecting consumer never to buy any of their products!

John Deere Poor customer service and push mower

This is my 3rd time to the John Deere dealership in Orange Virginia. 1st trip was to buy a brand new top of the line Push Mower (already had zero turn). The first visit was ok because I was purchasing something. The next 2 visits were nothing but dealing with ignorant old boy network type of folks. If they recognize you will you be taking care of but because I didn't have a $100 thousand dollar tractor or a local name I stood there, ..." with not even a hello we will be with you when we can". I even had an older man, whom to seem to get anything he wanted because he appeared to be local farmer, nudge me so he could follow all of the employees preparing to move to their big shinny building. That all being said I took my business to the local Kubota, husgavarna dealer that promptly waited on me and helped me drop off the piece of ### JD mower to get fixed for the32rd time. That being said which is supposed to be under warranty which has never been honored.

John Deere Motor blew up

We purchased a John Deere, LA115 riding mower in March 2010 from Home Depot, to include delivery and a five year service plan. At 41+ hours use, the motor blew up. We had the riding mower service at the first required interval from a John Deere service provider and changed oil and filter (parts from the service provider) between, waiting for the 50 hour service interval which never came. John Deere says the riding mover is older than two years so they are not responsible. Home Depot cannot find the delivery and service contract information in their records so their service provider (located in the Philippines) refused to provide any repairs.

John Deere Lawn tractor engine blew after only 5 years

I purchased a John Deere tractor partly because of their good reputation however during the fifth year of using it only during the summers at my home, the engine blew. I called the company to complain and ask if they could do something to fix the problem, they said no. On top of that, two different dealers told me that it's a third generation company and that they "don't care". They also told me that they "have lots of this model that needs repaired however even when I tried to get the engine replaced, they told me it's a "bad design" and to junk it. One dealer offered me ond hundred bucks to use it for parts. ON top of that, there's no replacement engine that I could purchase. I'll never buy another one, that's for sure. HOpe this will help someone to avoid making the same mistake.

John Deere improper assembly/lack of service

My letter to them says it all:
Dear Eis Implement and John Deere Corporate

At the end of 2008 we purchased a John Deer Model E725 snow blower. The second time it was used, the auger collapsed, and I brought it in for repair. I was told that the auger was under warranty, but I would have to pay for the belt. That seemed fair enough at the time, so I paid.

During the 2009/2010 season, ( this year ) the auger again collapsed. I paid over $200 for repairs. When I questioned why the auger on a John Deere product would continually collapse, rendering the product useless, I was told “these things sometimes happen”. I was not happy, but I paid.

The SAME DAY I picked it up I used it, and again the auger collapsed. I turned around and brought it back to Eis Impliment, where it has been sitting for over SEVEN WEEKS waiting for a part that is supposedly on back order. During three snow storms I have had to pay someone to do snow removal, despite the fact I have a virtually brand new John Deere snow blower. On Monday this week Scott from Eis called to tell me that the part was still on back order, and the equipment would again be unavailable for my use. When I asked why couldn’t he take the part from the identical snowblower sitting in your showroom, fix my equipment, and use the back ordered part to replace those taken from the one on the show room floor, I was told “we can’t do that”.

To make matters worse, it turns out the reason the auger keeps collapsing is that there were no skid shoes put on the unit at time of purchase.This caused the auger to pound itself into the sidewalk, wear a huge groove in the shroud and ruin the cutting blade. This has been verbally admitted by TWO separate persons at Eis (one an owner no less) ;but when I suggested I should then be refunded the repair costs I have shelled out, I was told that Eis would not have made that mistake, and I must have removed the skid shoes. When I pointed out it was utterly unreasonable to believe that I would get the unit, bring it home, then take off the skid shoes, etc, both Scott and Jim Eis admitted that was extremely unlikely, and not to worry, they would “take care of me”.

It would seem that “taking care of me” means
1: Not properly assembling the equipment in the first place

2: charging me for belt, labor, etc DESPITE these parts being ruined by the improper assembly

3: Not noticing the lack of skid shoes until the THIRD time the unit has failed, and then CHARGING ME FOR THE SKID SHOES AND LABOR to install them

4: Having my unit for over SEVEN WEEKS AND COUNTING

5: Informing me I will have to pay for a cutting blade on the unit, since that and the shroud were ruined by the lack of skid shoes. ( the shroud being deemed cosmetic, and not in need of repair.

I have reached saturation point with this situation. It was my belief that John Deere products are worth the cost, because they are, I thought, high quality, American made, and have knowledgeable, skilled people standing behind them. NONE of these have proven to be true.

At this point, I fully intend to sell the unit, ( if I ever actually get it back ), and NEVER again will I purchase a John Deere product, nor will I patronize Eis Implement. Not only have I paid $1200 for a machine I have not been able to make use of, I have also shelled out over a third of that price in repairs, ALL OF WHICH WERE THE DIRECT RESULT OF THE UNIT BEING IMPROPERLY ASSEMBLED IN THE FIRST PLACE, not to mention having to pay someone to do what I bought the unit to do in the first place! I cannot express the degree of frustration, disappointment and, at this point, disgust and anger I feel towards John Deere and Eis Implement.

I am sending a copy of this email to John Deere Corporate, as well as posting it on Facebook, as well as as many consumer protection and review sites on the Web as I can locate so that others can learn from my experiences.

Sincerely,

UPDATE--- Briggs and Stratton, the manufacturer of the snowblower has been working with Eis Implement to further resolve this "issue". Eis Implement has again contacted the above party about the latest resolutions and concessions that Briggs and Stratton and Eis Implement have provided. Eis Implement feels all measures have been taken to satisfy this party above and beyond. Eis Implement is a family owned business that takes great pride in providing superior customer service to thousands of customers each year since 1946 and has a positive standing with the Better Business Bureau.

Good afternoon James,

I just wanted to follow up with you on your email and some of the concerns you may have. I certainly understand frustrations when a product does not work properly and also understand if you feel you are not being taken care of properly. I sat down with our service manager Scott and discussed your issues and concerns as to this matter and can assure you we are doing everything in our power to get your new auger on your machine. While I know it’s frustrating to have a piece of equipment sitting here unusable, we can only get the parts as fast as John Deere will send them to us, we are at their mercy for availability of parts and warranty issues.

I want to go over a timeline for the repairs on your 726E snowblower so that we are both on the same page………….

12/9/2009, your left auger collapsed while the machine was under factory warranty, we found a stick lodged in the auger which was the main reason for auger failure. We, Eis Implement, cannot tell John Deere that or they will not warranty anything so the auger was replaced under warranty which costs $320.20. Briggs & Straton paid us $170.92, which was their allowance for that job, so Eis Implement covered the $149.28 difference.

3/21/2011, your right auger collapsed. You stated that you did not have any skid shoes on your machine, however they were there but the bottoms were completely wore off which causes the auger to drop low enough to hit the concrete. I can tell you this first hand James that I had the former model a 724D and had the same thing happen because I have concrete and had to blow snow quite frequently that year. The skid shoes are a normal wear item, they will wear differently for different customers depending on the surface you are on (concrete, black top, gravel) and it is customer responsibility to check these to make sure they are set according to your conditions. We try to set them a certain way but every situation is different, you may want them set higher if you have gravel so that the machine isn’t picking up stones, you may set them tighter to the ground if you have a very flat drive way or you may set them up a bit if your driveway is uneven. This is something we as the dealership cannot know at set up and generally the customer needs to double check the height of skid shoes as well as cutting edge. I believe at this time you were charged $208.81 because the machine was no longer under factory warranty.

3/24/2011, your left auger collapsed again and we noticed that the cutting edge had been set a bit too far back causing the auger to hit the concrete and admitted we should have noticed this after the repairs on the 21st and decided even though the machine is out of warranty we would take care of the repairs, we did however have you pay for the cutting edge because it was wore badly. The second and third auger failures had a lot to do with wore skid shoes and cutting edges, while we do agree we could have adjusted the cutting edge forward some we also do not know everybody’s snow blowing conditions, what works for some may not work for others and wear items need to be checked and adjusted accordingly, however we did pay for this repair ourselves to help you out.

I know you had mentioned you have been without the machine for 7 weeks, the downtime has been 5 weeks since the 18th of March, still this I understand is unacceptable but please understand we do not make or ship the parts we get as frustrated at times as the customer does. I can assure you that this isn’t normal from John Deere at all but sometimes we see this with seasonal items. I also saw that you mentioned we had a new 726E in our showroom and thought we suggested we should take it out of that one and put it in yours to get you going, when I asked about this I was told that conversation never happened and actually you had told Scott that any snow from here on out would melt anyway so it wasn’t as big of a deal as it would be if it were earlier in the season. That at this point is probably mute because we are sold out of blowers other than the one I have at home.

As far as the back ordered part goes, you should send something to Deere on this, I agree that it is an unacceptable time frame to wait for a part. I do believe we have done everything we can do to try to help, we have absorbed things John Deere will not pay for and picked up the tab for the last repair because we acknowledged we could have adjusted the cutting edge a bit for you. Outside of coming to your house and doing routine adjustments to wear parts I feel we have tried very hard to help you with your problems. I can accept you not being happy with the product right now, but do have a hard time with you being upset with us when we are trying to help you.

If you would like to discuss this further or dispute and of this, please feel free to call me or stop in to talk further.

Thank you for your concerns, we are doing what we can to get them resolved.

John Deere Stay away

John Deere Credit ordered a repossession of my farm equipment that was unnecessary and inconsiderate, and then charged me, the customer, $1, 000 to reclaim the equipment. Their action was not illegal, just illogical and insensitive.

When my income was reduced last year, I contacted all of my creditors asking for lower payments. Of nine credit accounts, John Deere was the ONLY one that refused. I continued to make regular payments, but at a reduced level. The original loan balance of $13, 600 was down to $1, 400 and would have been paid off before long, when they ordered the repossession, which cost me the additional $1, 000 to reverse.

Again, their action was not against the law, but it was counter-productive, in that they now have a very dissatisfied former customer who would have been loyal to them until this happened.

They need to reverse their rigid policies and offer their collection agents more leeway to approach their work with a stronger sense of humanity.

Similar experience. I was late on a few payments, told JDC the situation, that I could pay back all the overdue with penalties and interest in 30 days. They said OK. 15 days later go to barn to find excavator repo'd. JDC added thousands of fees. Their collection agencies then told me contrdictory stories, yelled at me, etc. Nevere in my life will I use JDC. SUCH A BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH I WILL AVOID JOHN DEERE...Which is sad because that's what our entire family of farmers has used for generations...
