  I have an S160 (same 48 inch deck as your S170), and wanted to mention that you can replace the belt without removing it. It was pretty easy and saves a lot of time.

  LEGO ! Yes working with them blocks you always need lots of half pieces, It will be strong when your done :) I busy but with a little more wood trying to side my cabin with one hand, Bluetti is a pretty awesome unit :) I just got the AC200L & been putting it to the test here at my off grid cabin man you can put it through a lot :)

  Do what works for you..its all a learning experience! I could advise after a 40 year contracting career but we pour everything here in Vermont…very little block is used as it seems to not hold up well.Footings,walls,slabs I always pour by truck…as long as your steps are consistent with block height you can make it work.

  I have the same tractor s170 and I have 2.5 acres. I love my tractor, but I am had this problem changing the belt for the first time. I change the belt per the schematic diagram; but the belt is SLACK…no tension at all. The belt is the correct part number from John Deere. This one is stumping me..😮😮

  The part I used was GX21833. You can get the brand belt or a substitute brand from places like Ag Supply or Tractor Supply. I'd double check the tension spring. It might be stuck or slack.

  I sent you a comment on one of your older videos. Think about EARTH BUILDING. Cob, cordwood, Timber Frame with WATTLE AND DAUB, SUPERADOBE...and many more sustainable options are out there. Main materials are DIRT CHEEP. Literally! CLAY, SAND, WATER, and STRAW. From what I have seen on your videos, you have most of what you need already. Lumber use is fairly minimal and if the trees I see in your videos are yours, you could build a cordwood mansion! Building codes in USA have been recently updated to allow these types of structures which have stood for centuries in Europe and around the world. PLEASE do yourself yourself a favor and check them out. My personal favorite is CORDWOOD construction because it allows for an insulation layer in the walls that can be designed to meet ANY R-value requirements! There are courses being taught around the USA and Canada that teach these techniques including online. Check them out.

  We live in Kentucky and I usually wait until after a good soaking rain to roll, but it still does not completely flatten the ground, although it helps. My issue is with the retaining clips (E-Rings) holding the frame to the roller. It's puts a lot of stress on the clips and one of mine popped off last year and bent the frame (scraper bar). I just ordered the parts I need and I think I'm going to drill for small cotter pins to replace or at least supplement the e-rings. I read in an Amazon review of one of these rollers that someone successfully did that. Good luck!

  That rose thing is likely an invasive multifora rose. It's an imported invasive Asian species that found its way into the US as a hedgerow planting. It has small white roses. The problem is it spreads...sending out shoots into the pasture or farmland. It also spreads via seeds from the hips. Only goats will eat it down. Knock it down & back whenever you see it.

  I saw a tip on another channel that slowing engine speed before disengaging the blades would save wear and tear on the blade brakes. I tried it and the first few times it worked fine. Then one day, I slowed the engine down, disengaged the belt and the belt broke. I assumed the belt slipped off the pulley, got sucked under the deck and got cut. I put on another belt and the first time I slowed the engine and disengaged the blades it happened again. I THINK I disengaged the blades too soon after slowing engine speed. (Just a guess) I’m not touching the throttle again until after I disengage the blades. Perhaps you should look at the blade brakes as possibly causing the breakage. Keep us updated, I’d love to know what you find out

  I know this is an old review. But the first thing to do is delete, the easy change oil filter system. Putting it back to the way they use to be. The easy change system will 'kill' your mower. It's just a gimmick to sell to lazy people, not wanting to do proper maintenance.

  When i had a craftsman the deck belt and drive belts were easy because the metal guards against the idler pulley's had a little give to them where you could just slip the belt between the guard and the pulley but not on the John Deere. Its thicker metal with no give so you gotta take the pulley almost all the way off which is a real pain. The drive belt looks so hard to do ill probably just take it in to John Deere which is what they want in the first place. I love my S 170 though it has lots of power.

  Looking at the belt, the frayed areas are facing mainly in the one direction, that to me indicates the the belt is hitting an edge somewhere. The obvious place is the supporting brackets that secure the back of the deck to the body. As the belt has to travel from one side of the deck to the other without guides the belt would be moving and flexing and most likely hitting those supports. A simple solution if that was the problem is to fabricate two guides and attach them to the deck supports to eliminate those square edges. Just a thought.

  Definitely recommend finding a decent used X series. These cheap box store quality mowers are just that. Worst thing JD ever did was start selling at the box stores. I picked up just yesterday a 2003 X495 for a grand. I'll be another grand into it for a deck and some odds and ends. Those were $12K new. You don't need a diesel but a higher grade X series will do you better.

  WTF? Deere has had 100 series mowers since the 70's. The ones you can get at the box store are the same exact as the dealer ones. ZERO difference or price. When I got my s170 least year I went to the dealer that is 7 miles from me. The sales guys told me to go to lowes as I have a lowes card and they will give you the 5% off. He told me if anything is wrong to bring it to him. It was perfect no issues. I plow with the thing, pull a yard cart, and a spreader. He also told me not to listen to the internet about the k46. He recommend to put in a Tuff Torq k46 drain bolt kit. I did not want to void the warranty so the dealer did it for $150 in labor and $60 in parts. Now, this year when I changed the oil I also changed the trans oil (got a oil pump, I do not have to remove it, just take a rear wheel off).

  @Goose2448Ай бұрын

  @nhbountyhunter they got cheaper in price and quality when they started selling at the box stores. Yes, they sell the same thing at the dealer but you can't buy the good semi commercial grade mowers at a box store. There is a reason for that. Those low end models are still junk even from the dealer.

  @@Goose2448 oh. I see what point you are trying to make. In my eyes they are fine for the job they are intended for. Sure I could have gotten a 400 series to do all that stuff with for a few thousand more. But then I could have just gotten a real tractor for a few thousand more. Then for a few thousand more I could have gotten a bigger tractor. My s170 does everything I need. The ONLY thing I wish I had was a locking diff.

  @Goose2448. It makes no difference in belt breakage whether bought at dealer or big box store. But it DID make a difference when at 39.9 hours oil blowing out into the combustion chamber and out the front of the engine. After the shop Mngr telling me there was not a problem- camera inserted into the combustion chamber told a different story. Long story- full replacement engine. Might not have been replaced if bought at big box store.
