I have d100 for 2 years and deck is starting to rust. Mom had older John Deere rider that only lasted 2 years from deck rot then she bought the D100 in 2012. I got with 30 hours so I have been cleaning the deck regularly since I have been using it. Question is if anyone else have problems with deck rusting out? I need to get a better mower soon as this one only has 150 hours but I work it hard. 3 acres with lots of trees, shrubs and several gardens. I regularly clean ditches and pick up debris in a cart but have to keep it light as it is not meant for the work I do. Looking at specs looks like a Cub Cadet 46 is better suited but family is John Deere so that is the reason for question. Zero turn is out.
