has anyone seen or heard or own the new we85 push mower? I seen the specs they look good, its suppose to be made by jd and not farmed out to another maker.If it turns out to be half way decent, i'll trade my last years js46 in on the new one if not.....oh well. thanks

Looks like a good solid unit but I've yet to see one in person.

I think I have heard of it. Have not checked on out at the dealers showroom yet. Might have to stop by after the holiday season is over and Spring Fever hits.

It looks like the old SB14 in green. Have a good one. Geo

Dealers recieved a stop sale notice on Dec 14th. Seems the BBC spring is coming loose and falling off.

From Mother Deere...
Update 1/24/2011. The Turf Care factory is currently testing a resolution to this issue. A PIP program is estimated to be released by no later than the last week of February. Completion of PIP program will allow dealer inventory units to be retailed.
Sit and wait I guess.....
