    Default John Deere JX90

    Anybody had any experience with the Deere JX90?

    I am looking a new self propelled mower for next season and just cant find the complete package.

    Must meet criteria is:
    Kawasaki engine equipped
    Catch & Mulch
    Alloy deck

    Would like criteria:
    Non blocking chute
    variable drive speed
    side discharge option

    Its very hard to find something that will cover all criteria.

    Proscape apparently doesn't have a large chute. (not even sure if the alloy deck model has mulch plug)
    Bushranger doesn't have mulching capability.
    Honda, just not going there, they come up short in too many areas.

    The deere looks interesting online, haven't seen one in person or read any feedback on them.

    Other option is to try and bolt up a Kwaka engine to my current Toro which has a 6hp briggs which is getting tired. (this option will probably be too pricey too)

    Needs to be at least 21inch deck and would prefer single lever height adjustment too.

    I picked up a brochure for one of these in the local mower shop. It meets some, but not all, of your criteria.Not sure if they are sold in Australia, though.
