CA: John Deere Review by Tommy from San Saba, TX I bought a 5302 John Dee
medium

I bought a 5302 John Deere 65hp Tractor in 2004. It was in the shop numerous times for leaking head gaskets, leaking hydrolic arms and lifts, and general shoddy performance. They supposedly ground down the heads and put new hydrolic armature lifts on it but it never worked right from the very beginning. Finally after plowing one day and stopping for lunch , just as I got to the house I heard this

Z530R with Kawasaki Carburetor (FR730V) VS. Z545R with Briggs&Stratton EFI (HTR EFI/ETC)

Hey guys, i’m stuck. Getting a new mower, but cant decide which way I want to go with (price difference is pretty much negligible). I have full respect to Kawasaki motors, but the fuel injection system in briggs is very attractive. I love working with engines, but I also prefer not to have stupid problems like unreliability. I love the idea of a smoother running engine, with less maintenance, but I dont care about the fuel consumption as its for personal use and it wont matter in my half acre lot. But i love the idea of not having to deal with choke… I have had a 20yo john deere L108 and a small push mower, both with Briggs, BUT I loveeee Kawasaki….. Please help!!!
