Have around 7 hours on my new JD D-125 Model Lawn Tractor. No problems so far other than Home Depot delivering it at 9:30 p.m. and not knowing what time it would come. Oh well. Had my break in service by Atlantic Tractor of Edgewater, MD. Went to a class there as well. Learned how to keep my machine running smoothly for years (hopefully). I have a 2 acre yard--half of which is on a hill. I've enjoyed reading everyone's posts. I will post more if anything significant happens.
