2 RIDING LAWN TRACTORS

Quite simply, some of the finest lawn tractors made today.

We build John Deere Lawn Tractors one way. The right way. That’s just how we run.
You can see the results for yourself on page 4 with the X500 Series. Or on page 6
with X300 Series. Both demonstrate an ongoing commitment to a premium cut for
your lawn with features that take riding lawn tractors to a whole new level. It’s why
we put our name on it. Then there are the 100 Series Lawn Tractors on page 8. The
improved cut quality of our 42-in decks when compared to our 2012 models is an
example of how we are never satisfied. All in all, you’ll find value and a lawn tractor
that’s built right from the start. Page after page, you’ll see innovation and dedication
to a premium cut, one of the best in the industry. And if you listen closely enough,
you’re sure to hear your yard asking you to do the right thing, too. Talk to your local
John Deere Dealer today.
