John Deere 1023e first thoughts and review after 60hr of use.
Overview
An owner's verbal impressions after 60 hours of real use on a 1023E bought with the loader and belly mower package. He covers mowing performance and scalping tendencies, the quick-connect deck's real-world frustrations versus the dealer demo, power limitations on hills, rough ride compared to the 1025R, and a frank 8/10 overall rating. No footage, just talk. Best for buyers weighing the 1023E for mixed light-duty tasks.
