Interestingly, JD have had 3 recalls of riding mowers in the last
week. Some burst into flames, some had brakes that break, some had
blades that didn't stop spinning. All were models sold at dealers,
and not through HD et al.
(Also, I heard JD are dropping some of their consumer line; wasn't
clear if it included tractors, or just push mowers.)
