This is what I cal a professional and useful review

Every JD lawn tractor should come standard with a video like this one. Great job! I also have the 170 and love it so far.

Very nice introduction to my new mower. Lowes should direct all customers to this video. If they are not sponsoring you they should be.

aam a 89 yr old woman who still mows the lawn. Husband is a paraplygic a nd so helping me w fessable. fessith the assembly of our new S170 was not fessible. Gor the book but I do better with videos. Put the grass catcher on by myself with the video and now I am learning how to start the mower. If I have to go back, its simple to do. These videos are much better than the books that come . Thank you so much

I love my S170, but that "lumbar support" is a joke. Great instructional video by the way.

This was so much more helpful than the manual or the DVD. Thank you.

He is an excellent teacher!!

I just purchased an S160. Thank you for your descriptive video 📹 👍

Great video. Was thinking of downsizing from my Toro zero turn 50" to this tractor. Zero turn doesn't do well on the slight incline of my drainage in ditch. S170 seems like a great option

The quick change oil filter is great, IF you also drain the rest of the oil, by opening the drain plug for the engine. The quick change filter is about twice the size of a standard filter, so it may be better. The problem for some is the cost. $40. JD offers a conversion kit, to return it to the standard filter.(about $25). Great, very detailed video. I wish I saw one before I bought my E120 2+ years ago.

Our identical machine is on the way, this video was very helpful.

Just bought one.. will be delivered tomorrow... This was very helpful... Thanks...

Excellent, that was a very helpful demonstration.👍

Is there a way to keep the side chute in the upright position, mines getting delivered this weekend. Looking forward to using it

Very helpful. Thanks!

Great Video. Very educational.

Excellent video. Thanks.

This is one of the best tractors I have owned, my last tractor was a 26 hp 54 inch cut, and that wide of a deck flopped high and low too much on my uneven ground with lots of hills. I've also had 42 inch decks, but the short 3 blades of the 48 inch have less resistance out on the end of them, giving more torque to cut high grass, than the longer blades of the 2 blade 42 inch, or the 3 blade 54 inch. I would have gotten a 25 or 26 hp engine, but 24 hp was the most offered. I had a 25 hp with a 3 blade 46 inch cut back in the late 1990s, but the John Deere S 170 tractor, with the 24 hp and 48 inch cut does about as good. I also got the weight bracket and 2 weights installed on the back of the tractor to give extra traction going up steep hills and it works pretty good.

Thanks for the tutorial, just.got it and couldn't figure out how to start it, great video!!

Amazing

Great Job!

Great job!!

I can adjust my bumper up or down. Is this normal? If so, why is the front bumper adjustable?

I live in hill country and have run a L110 with tractor lug tires for several years. Anybody put tractor lug tires on an s170?

How about grease plugs? My old deere is 24 years old and has grease plugs in the steering linkage as well as the spindels on the mower deck???

Hey mate I've been watching your videos for a fair while now and appreciate the detail and effort you put into them. I'm just curious as I'm thinking of looking into a new mower. I've currently got a L100 and a La105 I think (automatic version) but I'm tossing up between either fixing them or buying new and if I bought new would a tractor style or zero turn suit me best, my question is from a mechanical and maintenance point of view, what brand etc has been the easiest and best of both tractor and zero turn types in your opinion? I get sometimes it's luck of the draw but just curious. I've got 2 acres, some hills and terrain which the tractor style handles fairly decent. Cheers mate any help would be much appreciated 👍 keep it up 🇦🇺

Have you had any experience with the Fuel Injected engine John Deere offers? I have one, and occasionally it backfires on startup. Any suggestions?

In your opinion, which model of any mower would you get for a country lot, not smooth grass like a city lot?

That reverse button to cut is kinda lame but thanks for explaining it

Hello was considering a s170 or s160, as alternative to x390 which I realy want, but twice the price, do you think the s170 is a good unit?

Hey brad... I have the same rider. What is the weight of this machine and how heavy of a yard roller can I tow with it .. thank you in advance

Can you go in reverse without having the cutting deck lowered?

How can I get a softer ride, my cub cadet is more comfortable than my John Deere any help please

I just bought an S170. It seems like this engine rattles terribly for the first one to two seconds on start up. Does yours.

Can a snowblower be attach to this as well

The belt misaligned after first used. The engine won’t start again, why?

Quick change oil filters are insanely stupid!

Dude my arm is the same except on the right side!

John Deere should be paying you good job.

Great video. Thanks.
