John Deere STX38 Reviews

Good machine-but !
Model Year: 2009

I have a really poor time getting it into the trailer to move it. The mower deck cannot be raised to do so it seems. It hits into the steps on the tri-fold ramp and I had to use plywood to get it in instead.

Pros: Cuts smoothly, efficient on fuel
Cons: Must have a smooth ramp to load it in a trailer or vehicle.

The Little Mower That Could
Model Year: 1987

I have really enjoyed using this mower over the years. Always starts. Of course I am meticulous about maintenance on her. I have always changed oil, lubed, and kept the deck level and adjusted. Replaced tires once, and a few deck arbors. Great machine would recommend it highly.

Pros: Electric deck pot: John Deere parts availability.
Cons: Although everything is available, they are really proud of their parts!

STX 38 Nice Little Tractor
Model Year: 1993

For a 1 acre plot with a lot of obstacles, this is a great tractor. I have a few areas that are tight and it gets around everything that I need it to. The steering is getting a little bit loose as it has aged, but it still mows very well.

Pros: Mow quality, access to tight spots.
Cons: No hydrostatic transmission, a little under-powered for hills, seat mount kinda sucks.
