I have been pretty impressed with my mower. I bought my L110 at a John Deere dealer here in Wisconsin about 5 years ago.  I put on almost 100 hours per year.

It has mowed my 3 acres of rough terrain lawn as well as my parents 1 acre. I have done all my own service work on it.  I have put on 3 belts, put in a bearing, and have had to weld on the cracked deck once. Other than that, I have only had to change the oil, grease it and attempt to keep it clean.

All said, it has been a good mower for the $1700 I paid for it.
