This Old Machine Works Fine
Model Year: 2001
I just bought this Scotts S2554 tractor. It was reconditioned by a used tractor dealer. It is at least 12 years old (S2554 was manufactured by JD before 2001). The run time hour meter is broken. So, there is no way to know its real use-age. Nonetheless, this old machine is powerful. It cuts grass and weeds as tall as 1 foot. Occasionally, I have to stop the engine to clear the clog, but it never stalled. The deck and body is solid and strong. The material for the seat was not good. It cracked on the side. The mechanical system seems to be of top quality. JD design and manufacture is great.
Pros: Powerful, solid structure, reliable.
Cons: Seat is not made of top quality material.
