Just got an S130 from Lowe's. Great machine, ready to roll when delivered And they are partnered with a local (30 miles away) JD Dealer. Best of both worlds!

I actually work at the factory in Greenville lol I started last week. I’ve always heard they was built by MTD but they’re not.

we bought a used 120 Deere with 70hrs on it 6 years ago and it runs great and has never given us a problem. Came with 22hp engine and front bumper. Mow around 2 acres and the oil in the engine looks new at the end of the year. What to get a new Deere but i don't know what series is better than the 22hp one we have.

Thanks. Wondered if they were built by MTD like everything but branded or something. From what I've heard. So good to hear it's not,

I bought an LA 105 ten years ago. Lowest cheapest machine on the JD ladder. I love it!! It has not given me one bit of trouble. I LIKE the fact that it has a 5 speed manual transmission, I PREFER that. I mow a little more than half an acre. Have several pull behind accessories like a roller, broadcast spreader, spike aerator, and a drag. Works great, couldn't ask for more. Take care of it, grease it, change the oil and filter, and I think most machines nowadays will give good service. My previous mower was a 12hp Craftsman and I rode that thing for 20 years and finally just gave it to my brother because I wanted something new. Take care of them and they'll take care of you. I will say I was disappointed to see a low end JD model with a "plastic like substance" differential. Don't think I'd ever go for that. When this mower craps out, or I just get tired to it, I'll probably move up to the X300 series.

Good information, thanks for posting this video 👍. I’ll stick with the Dealership

I had a LA 135 for 10 years 450hrs and I beat the hell out if it. Had to repair the rear axle mounts 3 times because of weak metal from mowing uneven terrain and the steering gears also 3 times, but as a mower with a bagger it was awesome. I did upgrade to a x580 with a 54" deck this time around.

Love my e100..mows great..turns on dime..good fuel economy..runs great. It's ,4 ,years old

I bought a John Deere L130 with the Kohler V-Twin back in 2004 and it is still running strong today. I gave it to a friend across the street in December 2019 when I purchased my current John Deere X758 Diesel tractor.

Never buy equipment from Lowes

I have a la 125 11 years old still runs like the day it was bought.i sold it cause I was getting tired of it lol it lasts to long do I got a e130 .I got 600 bucks for the la 125 u couldn't tell the difference between the new tractor and the old that's how clean it was the guy picked it up popped his pants he couldn't believe it.as long as u dont get a jd wet it will last forever u get it wet it will rust like hell

I have a 2nyear old E180. Love it

Sitting in my yard right now is a JD 100 series from a Box Store in from around 2002, and a Craftsman from the same era, and it’s confusing to me that they are darn near identical, save the Craftsman has the same series of engien with 4 more hp.

I have a GT235 with a 54" deck, and a GT245 with a 42" snow blower & cab. Love both of 'em. My wife inherited her dad's L130 which he bought in the early 2000's, used a few years, and then hired someone else to do their yard, so it's a "low time" unit. When her folks passed away, she got the L130. Biggest difference I see is that the L130's transmission is a "light duty" model, and isn't serviceable, and the 48" deck belt drive is a single-belt, unlike the GT's which has one belt driving the main spindle, and a serpentine belt driving the two outboard spindles. LOTS more vibration on the L130. Harder to steer, too ...

But whats your definition of long life? My understanding is that they aren't any different from other major brands in terms of lifespan. Hence part of the reason why I went with a older used model.

I have the S100. Great machine, poor assembly quality by Lowe's 🤦 It arrived scratched up by the Lowes employee who assembled it, and the nuts & bolts were hand tight. This is Lowe's fault. Once I tightened up everything, I have been happy so far. Eventually I will get around to buffing out the scratches.

How do you remove rear wheel on John Deere d 110

Know 3 people buying John Deer mowers. All3 got rid of them. Kept tearing up. Fix, Fix. Have 2013 mower it's great. TORO Pony. Fixed mower bearings once. One belt. Put gunk in tires, thorns. Mow my place, neighbors. Used to mow for a friend, one acre 2 times a month.still great machine. Does not use oil. Quality parts. No chinese stuff. 🐻

saludos buena información cual es el precio

I just got my new 2021 S100 model tractor today , form my Local Home Depot store, But they did not explain how i could file for my factory warranty , can someone at your store help me with this issue ??? thanks in advance Wayne !!!

I need to call the dealer that I just bought my S170 from - it absolutely sucks at mowing grass....

I have a D105 bought 2014 from a John Deere Dealer. Has the original belt. Never had a hint of a problem. Key word Lawn. Can't be mowing 5 acres of bahia every 2 weeks. The dealers set the mower up right. Home Depot pays shops next to nothing for that job. Nothing runs like a Deere.

I had John Deere D110?. Ran like a plow horse for 6 years, never so much as a hiccup. Flat tire. I had option of self mounting a tire or buying a replacement wheel. Either way had to get the old one off. It permanently rusted to the axle. I watched tutorials on what needed to be done. With barely minimal effort it yanked entire axle out of the tractor so I had to go and buy a replacement. Covid hit so my only choice for anything in stores was craftsmen 110. What a giant pile of garbage. Leaked from every pore. I changed out things... it keeps dying. It has since runs no more than 10 minutes then shuts off. Neighbor told me it could be the coil. Ok great... I do not want that thing to become a sunken cost fallacy so I started shopping around for a replacement tractor. John Deere S110 is $2400. All others go for $2600-$3500. Sweet lord... at this rate I am this close to just buying a heard of goats to munch of stuff. No... seriously... this is ridiculous. I keep hearing tell tales about how people had to replace their 25 year old lawn mowers and yet all box store reviews for every mass produced tractor all talk about horrible build quality and how easily they break. I guess they just dont make them as good as they used to.... anymore.

I wish you could say the second gen 100 series I have a 140 that is the first 100 series please different the two different models

How do you adjust the mower deck belt on the S100 that keeps jumping off on a mower that is only 2 months old??? People are not told this when they buy one ,why not ?

Just got my new S130 JD E's are no longer Think they did that to charge a extra $100.00 Ha Changed hood alittle The rest seems to be the same Ordered mine in March and got it Dec 28th Will not get to use till April here in N.E. Ore. The virus held things up abit

Don't buy this John Deere x147r Ride on mower. Unless you want to mow a level short lawn that doesn't get too long. Maybe a bowling green would be suitable. The grass shute constantly clogs up if you mow heavy green grass so you have put your arm in and pull it all out. You have no warning when it clogs and jams the blades while the motor keeps spinning the deck belt resulting in black smoke coming out that lets you know there's serious problem. If you're lucky the belt will jump off the pulleys. Putting the catcher back on is a frustrating procedure the makes you think it from a different model. The lock catch on the catcher releases very often dropping grass out the back. The whole catcher set up is flimsy and cheap. Not too mention frustrating. Not good around trees as the catcher handle sticks up way too high and hooks onto branches. 1 hr of use after buying this brand new mower it developed an unnerving clunking sound in the deck. I've always owned John Deere and have been a happy customer,but this model is poorly engineered and designed.

The L and LA series was much better than the D and E series. Quit using those junk briggs engines and so much plastic.

How to reverse 😂

I bet you none of these new tractors will last 55 years like the current one I have

I have an e100 purchased in 2018 and has already chewed thru 12 deck drive belts, that fall off, and a transmission. They are now telling me, 9 months after the transmission was replaced, that I need 2 tension pullys and a transmission belt. I have put more money into this POS than what I paid for it, John Deere has been called again and no one is calling back.

I bought a model d 105 from degrees dealer after having a model 111 from the 1980 's .the new D105 cuts lousey if you do not cut in a straight line. If you go around a curve you see grass that was not cut like between the blades. The hight adjuster handle on the left is too high when you try to step over it to sit on the seat.It needs a shorter handle or round know that does not protrude as much. No brakes! No wonder they sell metal bumpers for it. ANYTHING to cheapen it. It will never last as long as my model 111 (over 25 years) But then that is the American way to sell 2 mowers to me within 25 years or 3 if it lasts that long. Who designed this? A foreign country????cheap-cheap!

john deere now is not what they used to be, plastic hoods break and cost a lot to get new ones, they use cheap plastic transmissions on the lower end 100 series, all in all john deere is crap compared to 10 years ago, now they make cheap stuff and sell it for more all because of the name, they made their name back then and live off it now. i would go husqvarna over them now. just my opinion though so dont take it to heart, i had an 89 165 hydro john deere and that thing was a beast. last thing though why the hell does john deere need to put a john deere sticker on an engine they did not make, hat is dumb, let briggs, kawasaki and kholer have their names on it, they made it.

I heard the 100 series is assembled by temp. workers in a non-union factory in Greeneville TN. Many of the parts are sourced from communist Ch-yna, that's why they don't last long. The transmissions are weak, sealed and not up to task of mowing hilly ground, which Tennessee has in abundance. Probably best part is the engines, Brigg's Stratton, if change oil regularly, should easily out last the rest of the machine.

Bullshit, it was proven fact over 10 years ago the 100 series came from the AYP company. Same company that made mtd, craftsman, etc.

Horrible reviews all over the place on these! Can I find a decent lawn tractor for 2 grand!?

These john Deere's are pure garbage overrated overpriced garbage
