John Deere LA145
The John Deere LA145 is a very large and powerful modern lawn mower from JD. This garden tractor is perfect for anyone with a large garden or commercial gardening company.
It’s V twin, 656cc, Briggs & Stratton engine pumps out an impressive 22hp (far more than most lawn mowers currently on the market). This transfers into a reasonable forward speed of 5.5mph, while it can manage just over 3 mph in reverse. Thankfully though it has cruise control as standard which means that at least if you are cutting large flat areas, you don’t have to focus too intensely. The fuel tank holds 4 US gallons of petrol, while on the California model it only holds 2.25 US gallons. The 2 pedal, hydrostatic transmission allows the machine to shift easily and quickly. It’s rear tires have a 20 inch diameter and are 6 inches wide, while the rear tires are 20 inches in diameter and 10 inches wide which means that the John Deere LA145 rarely if ever slips, even in very muddy ground.
It’s also good to note, for those planning on using the JD LA145 in areas with nooks and crannies that the turning radius is just 18 inches allowing this big lawn mower to easily turn within a very small space. The mowing deck is very large on this lawn mower model, coming in at 48 inches wide which will quickly turn an overgrown field into a well manicured lawn. The overall length of the John Deere LA 145 comes in at just a sniff under 49 inches (48.9 to be exact) while it measures 70 inches long.
Cut grass clippings are expelled out to the side of this garden tractor, but you also have the option of attaching a 2 bag bagger from John Deere capable of holding 6.5 bushels worth of grass. This in addition to other optional attachments, such as snow blowers, rollers, canopies and rotary booms.

POS dont waste your money on this lawn mower or any john deere product
Overall I am very satisfied with this mower. I purchased it new 10 years ago for approximately $2000.00 and have spent around $500.00 for maintenance and repair parts. The front wheel bushings wore out and I replaced them with sealed bearings and the mower spindles also wore out and I replaced those. The parts are really inexpensive and readily available. The lawn needs to be mowed 44 weeks a year in my area and I have a 1 acre lot , so $2500.00 divided by 10 years $250.00 divided by 44 weeks $5.68 per week. Not the highest quality but certainly not expensive compared to other mowers.
This junker is the worse purchase I have ever made in my life and I am 55 years old. The frustration from this machine has taken years off my life. I am considering renting a cargo plane and dropping this lemon on the JD sign at the plant.
JD dealer would not even take it in trade. Suggested I buy his “High Quality” JD ……yeah fat chance! Took tractor home. Replaced crap plastic bushings with steel, drilled oil fill into rear end, added fluid and it works. Craigslist here it comes. New Holland, Kubota, or Toro here I come…….. JD you can eat chit!
I hate it. bought it from local John Deere dealership, maintain it by the book. The powerful engine is indestructible. So what..if you can’t steer it it is lawn art. Very disappointed. replaced steering (complete) 3 times in as many years. I had a Murray in the same class and it ran for 7 years until the deck rotted out, so I figured I get the best. Poor design and I checked the Cub Cadets….same steering. Just check any brand and the steering design, get the one not like a Deere.
good
they suck and so does the whole company. Don’t buy
