Thank you! That is the goal, to have the best information out there!

Awesome! I hope it serves you well for a long time!

Nice and I am glad I could help. What landed you on the S160? Anything specific?

@Western Equipment the push button to engage blades, cruise control, fuel gauge on the dash, 48 in. Deck and the hp it has. As well as the other things like the seat and bumper, overall I just liked the way it looked and like I said the deck, push button blades. So far I've gotten the mulch plate and will be ordering the mulching kit as well.

Thank you and I hope you enjoyed it.

Awesome man! I'm glad to hear you are enjoying it! Shoot me an email at brent@west-equip.com and I will see what I can do.

@@WesternEquipment email sent ! Thanks Brent

@@johnnya287 no troubles at all

Thank you and I hope you enjoy your new mower!

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?

I am glad I could help and thanks for watching!

I'm sure if it happened a lot then you could possibly damage something, but I don't know this for sure. Have you had this happen?

@@WesternEquipment no iam just wondering^^, i always thought they installed that lever so the transaxle is not getting damaged. but now iam realizing they probably did that to make it push easier? (sorry my english is a little weird this evening^^

Exactly. That is why I try to make this very clear, air air air. What mower do you have?

​@@WesternEquipment + great video I have the John Deere D-110 I bought back in 2015 love it no issues what so ever only had to replace the battery and yes I also use my leaf blower to keep it clean ( DRY CLEAN ONLY) keep up the great work kinda made a pund there

On the bright side,the Briggs and stratton Intel is fairly affordable to replace. Certainly cheaper than buying another mower. I recon most folks get 600-800 hours out of them before anything major needs done. You may of just got a dud.

The good is the singles are cheap to replace, and on the preowned market, very easy to find.

I hate to hear that, what exactly happened on the engine? Did the repair shop tell you?

I have a 110 I bought in 2007 and I live in Texas so it gets used every week 8 months a year.i had to replace the deck once and I just replaced the PTO cable.I have not had to do anything to the engine or anything else ,never had to to touch the carburetor. It has been a fantastic machine. I also cut an acre and a half of land.Not sure if the new ones are made this good.

@@longhorn9841 theres been many variations of the model over the years. My brother in law has one from 2003 that's got the k46 transmission and Kawasaki motor. It's got well over 1k hours on with just wear items and maintenance, but the last 10 years or so it's become an economy tractor with a weaker transmission and lower end Briggs and stratton engine, but theyll still hold up pretty good if you dont over do it with their loads and keep maintenance up.

Thanks for watching!

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.

Good question! I have never noticed and will have to check this out. Thanks for the comment!

That is a tough one. If it were me, I would go to a store or dealership and try sitting on one to make sure you are comfortable.

Can’t argue that.

I hear this a lot, but I have owned one for years, keep it inside, and have never had any problems.

I, park mind inside the building and everything looks like new]

Sure! Is it just grass?

@@WesternEquipment dirt but lots of weeds

Yes,that's the best way. I was having problems with my belts prematurely wearing out and even jumping off the pulleys. I saw one of Brent's videos where he discussed it a little more and I've never had any problems since.

Yes, that is correct. It is so much better for the life of your belt.

This is interesting. I had not heard this about the tires. Why do you not like the electric PTO?

I work at ford... electric gizmos fail. I like my ole d110 cable pto engagement. Yeah I know all convienece. See above you still waiting on a ford pickup because electric tranny shifter is not in America.? See my point.? But I ran my D110 42 deck hard. Live in acre with 200 x 200 front yard with slope.. great mower.( dad was jd parts man 20 yrs west Ks.) but it believe after 450 hrs. It blew a ring.. start great. Just after lil load it smokes.. fouls plug. Motor don't knock. Pull dip stick yep a face fountain. But looking at I guess S130, don't think they make 120? But has to be 42 deck. Yard gardens set up that way.. option 1 buy from jd s130 or lowes.. lowes 100 bucks cheaper top notch credit. But heard bad things.. my d110 cut like crap.. yes had to level blades. That's a given. Grew up on hight end golf courses. Just your opinion or others.

Unfortunately, there is no fuel shut off on these mowers and on the wheel bearings, yes some are sealed.

I have an L100

Not that I know of, but i bet you could get a custom one made!

I will see what I can do!

@@WesternEquipment thanks

Mulching

You would need part number AM141033. This will come with two blades and 2 nuts.

I wished they would just make it a cut out to see the gas container like in the LA and L series where you can actually see the gas level with your own eyes. They switched it to that dumb black level thing on the D series.

Here is one over the E110 and it will be the exact same process kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bJZogqZm3tfbe30.html.

Do you have your spindle covers on and in place?

@@WesternEquipment the blades also turn with out pto being engaged

I think the hope is that people will keep these machines sheltered in some way, even if it is only a cover. No machine is best served being left out in the elements and if they are covered or sheltered then the plastic shouldn't be an issue.

@@WesternEquipment that's true, but they have to factor in real life conditions. Farmers, commercial, and some residential don't stop and won't stop when it rains.

He stated 5 mph at 8:05

5.5 MPH, I said 5 in the video but it is really closer to 5.5. My apologies!

@@WesternEquipment its ok think thats good speed

Yes it will. Thinking about swapping them out?

@@WesternEquipment I need too like your videos very informative who is the guy that does the video and where are you located

That is a good question. I would have to check with a salesman on that but normally everyone sticks to John Deere's suggested list price on mowers so I would assume ours are $2499 as well.

What do you mean by forgotten?

If I can get one in stock I will add it to the list. Do you have one or looking to get one?

I have one.

I get what your saying, but every other piece of John Deere equipment only has the yellow wheels, yellow seat, and yellow striping. So why not the mowers?

@@WesternEquipment that's why I haven't bought any other new John Deere equipment

Haha, no relation that I know of, but I have gotten this comment a few times. I'll be doing ok if I can get as many subscribers as him!

i noticed that also and they changed the one oil and filter changed to. i have a e130 its almost the same thing as this s110.But ya the green deck caught my eye

Yes, that is the new standard as of 2023. Do you like it or no?

@@WesternEquipment it’s fine, just didn’t see that coming. 😄

@@WesternEquipment I have a 22 S 110 and what about the spark plug connector……does that act as a heat shield sort of? I only have 4 hours on mine so, I haven’t changed it out yet.

@@WesternEquipment hello , i think the yellow deck looks better, Why they changed the 2 in 1 oil . ive been stocking up on them because if they stop selling them iam screwed lol .its like they thought it would be good idea but in the long run you cant change oil , even if you change it there is still old oil in engine. i like to be able to change and drain my own so i know its been cleaned out and i can put fresh in. i see why they made it it is easy to twist off and back on just weird that you cant drain all of it but i think that why they made it for people like me who dont know anything about engines lol.

may have been the case a few years ago but we all know the price of things have gone up everywhere. You definitely get your money's worth with these mowers.

I am sorry to hear of this. It seems this has been a consistent issue with the S100 specifically and I am still not sure why. So the dealer would not help out at all?
