I bought in March of 2021 when the S240 model with all these upgrades was first released. I've had to wait over a year for my bagging system though, and picking that up tomorrow (finally). Can't wait to break it out this season! It's a great unit. Best residential lawn tractor I've ever owned.

Yes since the bagger had been upgraded it was unavailable for a long time. Your right I love the S240 in fact I will be using this one for my lawn care service. It is not a commercial mower but it’s built like one. I will only be doing some fall and spring clean up with it. We also like to use the bagger system when we dethach a lawn, a rider is a fast way to pick up the bulk of the thatch. Congrats on your S240 . Enjoy

Yes I own the S240 and the X354 both are great units. The S240 is a way better machine things you can not visually see like a beefed up trans axle, fuel gauge, upgraded bagging system, which I have mixed feelings about, the price difference between the 100 and the S240 is for sure worth it.

Yea. The new bag system seems awesome. Guess we will find out when the mowing season starts. Can’t wait

I've come to absolutely hate the RIO switch with this lawn tractor due to the fact it runs too rough after it engages, almost to the point where I'm concerned that it might be taking the deck out of balance. It seems like if you want no setbacks that you'd be forced to bypass the switch with the correct jumper wire setup, and have it hang up with a ziptie, like the other owners of John Deere Lawn tractors have done. Also, the deck seems a little trickier to get balanced with the premium deck on the 100 series tractor. Could've used two hangers for the front. Also, I set my height on 3.25", but my blade is at 3" when I set the deck or I can't raise the deck to 4". I plan on never setting the height higher than 3.75" when mowing. Need the deck to to 4" for loading and unloading onto trailering. Outside of that, the performance and value is great.

Hey man thanks for your in depth opinion on the mower. This is a S240 series well above the 100 series it is a totally different bird. I have had 2 of these units and have absolutely loved them they are very solid and great running machines. I have to admit I’m a little disappointed in John Deere’s bag upgrade I do not feel it’s as heavy duty but I guess only time will tell. The new bagger system is a little more “PRO” if you want to use the term although we used it a lot this weekend on a bunch of dethatching jobs and several times I had to remove the bagger system to get into back yards it’s comes off reallly easy from the mower no bungees, but it’s a little hard to get back on and I feel like I’m going to break it I mean I would think it should go on a little smoother for a almost $600 bagger. I have to admit I also hate the safety switches but for the time being I will be leaving mine in place. Thanks again for your comments much appreciated. Thank you for your support and I love to hear what others are experiencing out there!

You need to adjust your deck height. Western equipment has a good video on how to get the proper deck adjustment done.. unless you have safety concerns ( kids,pets) I'd bypass the rio button. It only changes the engine tone and has a little shutter when it first gets started if you tryin reverse quickly.

Dont forget the price went up a couple hundred bucks across the whole line starting from the S100.

I paid the same price on this 2022 S240 as I did for my 1999 S240. Yea not sure why, the price on these anyways has been pretty stable, although Brad you are right, I did pay more over all since the remake update on the bags are about $150 more then the old bags. Thanks for the comment

@@dancollins2546 well I haven’t had any real issues, I will say there’s a few things I do not like. Like the bag now only opens so far and there’s a latch on it keeping it open, that’s all fine except I wish it actually opened further cuz when the bags are full the contents of the bag hit the bagger lid. The other thing I find disappointing is the bag frame is now plastic or a poly of some sort, rather then a solid piece of steel in the older version. But I would say most of the improvements are good, not sure the improvements were worth the like $150 more for the bagger system, but it is what it is. Thanks for your question

Here’s what I could find in general In general, a typical riding lawn mower’s towing capacity is between 290lbs and 580lbs. This is determined by applying a general rule of thumb that a lawn mowers towing capacity is about 50-100% the weight of mower + operator. The S240 weights 486 pounds So you can figure the tow weight as stated Very good question. I may do a video on this

@Big Game good thing you jumped on it, they won’t last long

will the Kaw motor last more than 10 years before it grenades like my D-110 Briggs&Stratton? i changed my oil every 25 hours. the belt system was shit after the first few years, the cheap plastic used on the mower that was supposed to keep belt aligned failed constantly. i got really good changing belts after less than a year a piece. for $2k i got a good decade out of it @150+hours when you look at the big picture, but just the same i was told the lifespan of a maintained motor was between 250-500 hours which i now question. i looked at other makers as of late, and their all made with "global" parts which is another way of saying Chinese made trash parts. i even entertained the notion of electric, turns out most all of those are complete chinese Ryobi turds with inconsistent battery performances. given the price of batteries starting at roughly $250 for one of the 4 batteries you'll need, why bother! a $3000 starting price then maybe a $1000 every 3-5 years for batteries, thats if your other electronics hold out living mostly outdoors. the only saving grace is is the lack of belts needed for operation, on the models i saw anyways.

I have had my John Deere X354 for 3 years now everything is great. I have had a S240 before this 2022 one and I loved it. A friend of mine has an older S240 and its still running strong. I know where your coming from on the cheap parts used, unfortunately we can not 100% get away from it. But you would think for how much stuff costs, the manufacturer would not go cheap on stuff. Thanks for your input! Much appreciated.
