Brilliant Plan



JD came up with a brilliant plan! We needed another midsized lawnmower. Rather than buy John Deere he'd try different "BRAND-X" type and save some money. The salesman dropped it off for us to try. JD hopped on and started mowing. About 15-20 minutes later he came into the house cussing...........



He hit a wet spot in the grass... the lawnmower lost traction and he plunged down the ravine and into the creek TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL.



He called the salesman to come get the new mower We weren't interested in buying that brand.

Call the salesman back and tell him we changed our minds and want the lawnmower back.... and let JD mow the yard instead of ME!

A John Deere mower would have been stuck BEFORE it got to the wet spot on the grass, providing you could get it started. No respect here for John Deere products. They are always the ones getting towed to the service shop, or out of a tiny little mud puddle caused by a cow peeing.

I do however like the idea of drinks on the beach, but find another way of getting there than collecting life insurance.

When it comes to lawnmowers John Deere has lost our business since Hechto en Mexico took over....

Personally I think you are way more "richer" with JD alive and in your life.

Does BMW make lawn mowers?

    Glad he wasn't hurt, & hope he didn't leave any skid marks in his undies.
I'm tired.... I'll check his undies in the morning.

I am curious about "Hechto en Mexico took over" . I could not find any reference in Wikipedia to Mexico; no manufacturing just some sales offices. Manufacturing all over the world, US, Germany, India, etc. Can you give me more details?
Thanks

John Deere quit making lawn mowers in the Dubuque plant contracting out the 100 series to a mower de jour plant in Ky or Tn where mowers are stamped out fr numerous brands and just painted green and yellow. Metric parts made in Mexico

the Jeep is probably way more reliable anyways. Those cookie cutter companies just put on the color the customers want and ship out the same poorly made crap

    i see why JD like to got hurt by what he was mower i am so glad he is ok
I am so glad tat piece of shit didn't roll over hurting or killing him. If it had there would have been a lawsuit of Biblical proportions from me.
