When I was shopping for a new lawn mower just a couple of months ago, JD was one of the brands I was seriously considering. I was specifically told by the local JD dealership that the JD mowers sold at Lowes, HD, Sears etc. are the VERY SAME mower that they sell. In fact at the time, the sale prices at the big box stores and the JD dealership matched up exactly with the JD website.
So as far as John Deere making 2 differant versions of the same models, I say HOGWASH.
