So far I've gotten the mulch plate and will be ordering the mulching kit as well.

I’m leaning on getting the s110…is it worth getting the bagger attachment? Do most people with these types of tractor prefer to just mulch it? I’m kinda torn on whether or not to get it right now. Obviously there’s pros and cons to mulching vs bagging but let me know. Great video!
@WesternEquipment Жыл бұрын
If you are wanting to bag then it is definitely worth getting the bagger. They work just fine on these mowers. As far as the bagging vs. mulching goes, that is going to all be about preference. Some prefer to mulch so they are not having to handle clippings and so they can use those clippings as a natural fertilizer for the lawn. Then other like the clean look of a bagged lawn. With bagging you can typically wait longer between mows and with mulching you have to do it more frequently. Does this help you out?

Best advice was to not use water to clean these mowers. I always use the blower on all of it. Not sure why all companies jumped on the deck wash bandwagon except to force you to rot out your deck.

I will see if I can make that happen. But the main things are the jump from a 42" deck to a 48" going from S130 to S140. And also the difference of the quick change oil system on the S130 and the conventional filter and drain on the S140.

Thanks. Your videos are great. I'm trying to decide between the two. Big thing I am torn over is the anti scalping wheels. I have a hilly yard and the smaller deck might be a little easier to navigate with but I have some concerns about it scalping spots that are uneven because of the sloped yard. Also have been told that the bagger works better on the smaller deck. And would be interested in hearing your thoughts on maintenence and longevity on three vs two blades. You are by far the best source on KZfaq. Can't get my mower from you because of location but I will definitely order parts when needed.

Im curious, at 1:15 when you raise the hood there is a loud click. I've been checking these out (S140 and S170) in stores and almost all of them seem to do this? I think i narrowed it down to the hood front end, very bottom, where it tucks in when lifted. It clicks as it gets caught on the nonmoving part. Just curious if this is normal or should be addressed? I feel like that could chip or crack that part of the hood over time. TiA
