I just bought a self-propelled, walk behind lawn mower and as I was almost done cutting my half acre lawn, it started sputtering and stopped. I look in the gas tank and it looked like there was some gas in there but I added more. Should a gas tank that size be able to cut a full half acre?

Answer
If you walk fast.OOps self propelled you are pushing it.

How durable are John deere Lawn Mowers?

the Tino

Ever since I can remember, I have begged my dad to by a John Deere Lawn mower. From what I see, they never really break. I hear they are extremely durable. yet my dad has found a stupid excuse to get a troy bilt lawn mower. I am putting my neck out on the line for a John Deere, so I was wondering just how durable they really are.

Answer
I myself am a John Deere Service Tech. If you want a durable mower I would suggest getting one from a dealership. The ones that you buy from Lowes or Home Depot are not built as well as one sold at a dealership. Those mowers are what we in the shop call a "Green MTD". Depending on what size yard you have, follow this guide:

1 - 5 acres - X-300, X500 series of tractors. EZ track Zero turn mowers.

5 - 10 acres - X700 series tractors. 2000 series compact utility tractors. 717, 727 z-track zero turn mowers.

10 - 15 acres - 3000 series compact utility tractors. 737, 757 z-track zero turn mowers.

15+ 4000 series compact utility tractors. 777, 797 z-track zero turn mowers.
