@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.

Another question about my s110…I have the bag kit…I have light/moderate leaf covering on my grass. Is it ok to mow over the leaves and bag them along with the grass clippings or is it best to clean the yard free of leaves first and then mow?

Are the blades hard to engage? I know on the Craftsman models that have that type of engage lever, it's a little hard to push.

I just got one of these and I'm trying to figure out the gas gauge. I can manually slide it all the way up or all the way down with the mower off. Is the mower supposed to be running to properly gauge the gas amount? Thanks!

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?

Enjoy watching your videos but since I've had mine I noticed unlike my STX 38 I had for 20 + years I don't see a fuel shut off valve which came in very handy when I changed the fuel filter. Are they not putting them on anymore or is it under the mower somewhere. I have bought a shut off but have very little room to put it on do the design. Only have about 3 inches to work with between the filter and where the line comes through the frame and don't really want to if I don't have to. Also on your grease points of 5 mine has one on each of the front wheel bearings also. Are the making some with zerks and some sealed?? Thanks for any info you can give me on this.

@WesternEquipment

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

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’m all for keeping it clean and the mower looking good but it’s a working machine. Not a vintage Vette..

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

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.
