I received this rider won't start found that the battery not hooked up, seat was loosed, checked tire pressure had 60 lb. of pressure in tires I thought that it was to set up ready to use but wasn't. So, I hooked up battery, fixed seat. Set pressure to what it stated online. unit started ran ok mowed on 4/2/2026 unit did a nice job.
Weak, weak, weak
I've had riding lawnmowers for years. My house is on an incline, nothing crazy, and all previous mowers have handled it w/ lower HP ratings. If this mower is 22 hp, they must have picked the sickest horses in the stable. Can barely get up an incline. So, if you live on perfectly flat land, OR you plan on riding it downhill only, it's OK. Otherwise, it's not going to do the job for you.
Weakest mower ever had
If this is 22 ho, they must be miniature horses. Barely can get up a modest incline. Also extremely rough ride.
I haven't used it enough to know yet.
So far I like everything about it.
Worth it
Good quality

L130 JD riding mower
I thought I was buying brand new. Lookedd like a floor model. Seat had grimy back and mower adjisting lever has scratch on it. Used as soon as got gas in it. Did a good job. Was told wasnt a 3 minute oil change but is. Is little harder to get on than previous mower because of height. Deck lift makes it a bit testy to get off if have shorter legs.
