Hello everyone! Today, I’m excited to share my experience with the John Deere GT235 and its 48C mower deck system. Using this machine truly feels professional. The Power Flow system makes grass collection incredibly efficient, and the two-bag bagger works flawlessly.
The John Deere Twin Touch pedals offer smooth and easy control, and the cruise control feature is a game-changer for longer tasks.
Under the hood, it boasts an 18 horsepower Briggs & Stratton V-twin engine. The engine runs powerfully and smoothly purring like a content kitten. We recently replaced the hood top and bumper, giving it a fresh look. The seat is in excellent condition, making it comfortable to use.
While the machine has been outside and picked up a bit of dust, it’s in great overall shape. The mower deck operates quietly, and its performance is truly impressive. The quiet operation makes mowing an enjoyable experience.
After spending time with this model, I can confidently say it’s an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable, powerful, and easy to use garden tractor.
