Yes, the big box store John Deere tractors are flimsy. My D130 deck was way too thin and weak and had to have my spindles straightened and one replaced. Only 65 hours of use. Sold it when I got my Scag Patriot.

I have a Scag Patriot with the 61 inch cut and the Kawasaki engine. So far so good. Did my 3 acre lawn in 2 hours v.s. the 3 1/2 hours it took on my old 42 inch John Deere tractor. So far I like the Scag Patriot. Seems like a well built unit. Only cut my grass four times so far this season.
