The John Deere LA155 lawn tractor is a high-quality machine. Although not currently in production by John Deere, you can still see these machines everywhere and look like new thanks to the fact that they only stopped production in 2010 (they started production in 2009, thus enjoying a 2 year run atassembly lines). The JD LA155 is powered by a Briggs and Stratton 2-cylinder V-twin engine. This engine is 0. 656 liters (40 cu in) in size and produces 22 bhp to power the wheels and blade. The engine is started with a 12-volt battery by means of an ignition key. This Briggs and Stratton engine is an ELS (Extended Life Series) engine, which means you are virtually guaranteed a longer life with this engine than with a standard one of comparable power. Once the engine is running, a 16-amp alternator charges the battery.
Most people with moderate to large sized yards really enjoy using this machine as the 48-inch cutting deck quickly and easily handles a large amount of grass. You’ll also be happy to know that the John Deere LA155 mower comes with a safety video when you buy it. This will help you prevent any unwanted injuries as well as learn the best and most efficient ways to take care of the JD LA155.
The total weight of the John Deere LA155 is 236 kg, which may seem like a weight that will leave marks on the turf. Luckily, the tires are wide enough to spread the load without leaving marks. Each front wheel measures 15×6-6 (15-inch diameter, 6-inch wide, 6-inch rim diameter), while each rear wheel measures 20×10-8 (20-inch diameter, 10-inch wide, 8 inch rim diameter). If you’re looking for something a bit smaller to mow your lawn then consider the John Deere LA145, while if it’s a larger mower you’re looking for then you might be interested in the John Deere LA165 mower.
