I do not have a lot of experience with Green. I have an 820 dad had, and a 50 I got a few months ago.
I also have a 5015 I bought new 4 years ago that is starting to get on my nerves.
I let a friend borrow it this Spring to mow with. He brought it back with the 3 point raised...would not lower. Took it back to Deere and they fixed it saying it was a stuck piston. Then, the injector pump started leaking, again Deere fixed it saying this is common on a 5105.
Last weekend I was using the finish mower around the church and when I went to load it on the trailer to go hme, it was leaking fuel from the sending unit in the bottom of the fuel tank.
I took it back to Deere and just told them to fix the darn thing. This is getting old. It's 30 miles I have to trailer that thing everytime it breaks. I end up using the old red tractor while it's in the shop.
Are these tractors trouble prone? If I miss treated the thing I would understand, but all I do most of the time is mow with the finish mower. No rough stuff at all. Anyone else having problems or is it just me? Looks of it that plastic tank and sending unit is on most of the new tractors.

The three point being stuck up is when it's shoved up past it's normal travel. Usually when bush hogging over an obstruction than a steep drop raising the three point and liftiung some weight off the rear wheels. Operator error there. Odds are that fuel sending unit and maybe even the injection pump were speared with a stick. I've found sticks jammed into the most unbelievable cracks,spaces and holes. Even had a curved stick do a one in a million odds entry into the fan belt and flipped it off.

The 3 point problem according to Deere was a machining problen from the factory...can't blame my friend for that one. The 1st fuel leak was an "o" ring according to Deere. This last one you may be right. I can't figure hitting anything using a finish mower...but you may be right. Looks like a darn poor design to me. A sending unit should come in from the top...not the bottom where it could as you say get damaged. Anyway...thanks for the response. Have a great day.
