Thank you and I am glad I could help! Enjoy that new mower!

Thank you for the review! Very useful! I just bought today my S140, expecting it for wednesday!

Best tutorial ever. And I've gone through a few!

Wow!!! Great presentation without any ums or uhs. Dude just let the info flow. Excellent information describing everything with clarity.

This is the best description of this mower by far. I own this mower, and you taught me a few things.

I bought my 2022 S140 last spring, had to con the salesman into throwing in a lid for that cubby box on the fender, things tend to fly out of it without the snap tight lid. Also like that is does NOT have that quick oil change option. Gotta get use to seeing them now with a Green deck. Love your JD videos, they're the most informative on the net!

Thank you for making this video. Do you have any thoughts about the scalping on the 42 inch deck vs the 48 inch decks? Also wondering which one works better when bagging. I really appreciate this walk around video.

@WesternEquipment

Жыл бұрын

I am glad you enjoyed the video. I would say you are always going to have more of a chance of scalping with the 48 then the 42. As far as the bagging goes, I have definitely heard more positive results with the 42 on this particular size of mower.

@chase5896

In my opinion a 42 in is nicer. It mulches better, and it just is nicer. However if you have a bigger lawn a 48 in is nicer, but

Did they do away with that 3 second oil change system like they previous e series?

I bought the E140 with a bagger in 2019. It’s been a great mower until last weekend the engine died. It’s going to the scrap heap and I will be dropping $3k on a new one this weekend. My next goal is to learn how to completely disassemble and reassemble the engine in case it pulls the stunt my soon to be former one did.

These things have gotten so much more expensive

My pedestal was cracked when delivered from Lowes.... I had the option of returning it (exchange was not possible because they didn't have anymore in stock). So the other option was a huge discount .

Help ! Brand new 2023 S130, only used 3 times, takes at least 6 key turn on to start in lowest throttle position, if in middle, full, or choke it smells real bad like gas flooded engine and once backfired... Any ideas what I can have my J D dealer to look for ?

You know what I found through research and I'm not kidding..John deeres are also number 1 in repairs that's right repairs..so if there so good why is that?

@WesternEquipment

Жыл бұрын

High use, high wear, high sales volume (meaning more units out there to repair). Also, since John Deere mowers have actual dealerships that do the repair work, there is more documented repairs than most brands. These are all things that could lead to this.
