Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Solid machine
First time buying a new lawn tractor. The S130 was my choice and the 2026 looks to be a solid machine. Just hit 10 hours, and it runs like a top. I did remove the discharge chute because I need to gauge where the edge of the deck is, and it was a bit on the bulky side for my tight yard. The deck hangs out more to the left than the right, so it was hard to tell where the edge was on that side when cutting. The 2026 went back to front wheel bearings instead of bushings also which was nice to see. ...
New John Deere Riding Mower
My faithful John Deere 245 failed to run and since it is 33 years old I went looking for a new mower. At Lowes I found what I wanted was an S 130 42 inch deck. I also purchased mulching attachment. Very pleased with both, new mower is comfortable easy to operate ,plenty of power ,runs great , starts easy ,has numerous safety features ,mulching attachment was easy to attach and does a great job. very pleased with both.
Thank you for visiting Lowe's website. Thanks for sharing. Nothing runs like a Deere!
Purchase, delivery, and mowing on hilly terrain.
Purchase, check out, and delivery scheduling went smoothly and as planned. Would recommend Madison Indiana Lowes as a purchasing locale. The only critique is the mower has a safety switch under the seat which will cut off the engine if you get off or slide towards either side of seat. This feature is inconvenient if you have uneven terrain .

My Outstanding John Deere Model S 130 Lawn Tractor
For me this was an outstanding Lowes purchase experience. I saved a few dollars off my new John Deere model S 130 lawn tractor due to a limited time price reduction which also included a half price delivery charge. I was able to schedule delivery on a date and time that was convenient for me. My great looking new John Deere lawn tractor was delivered on the scheduled date and time and in pristine condition. It arrived fully assembled and all the moving parts were lubricated and properly adju...
Thanks for taking the time to review the S130 Lawn Tractor!
Product good - Lowes local store delivery BAD
For days prior to delivery I got updates of on time delivery. Even the morning of. Then shortly after the update I got an email that said it was delayed and a Lowes rep would call. No call. I happened to be at Lowes later that day and asked and was told that the person in charge of deliveries was off that day. I waited 2 more days and still no call or email. Silence. So I called and waited on hold for 15 minutes and was told "Oops it was scheduled to go on Appliance delivery truck but it ...
Thank you for visiting Lowe's website. We're sorry to learn about this experience. We're glad to hear it has been resolved.
Just bought
I went to the local Lowe’s in Salisbury Md. with the intention of purchasing the S130. I had no problem in finding a store attendant to help me. I showed him the mower I wanted. He quickly handled the details of the sale giving me payment option. It took no time at all and I was on my way home. I was a bit anxious over what I would find out once home. I had visibly inspected the mower for quality of workmanship as well as any scratches, dings, paint fading, rust…etc none found. Now the only un...

Constant issues starting it
$3000 and its a struggle to get it to start without constant retries. Absolutely terrible and of course getting customer service on the line to replace it or get it fixed is a pain because everything is blocked by stupid AI bots that cant transfer to returns or customer service ever.
Thank you for visiting Lowe's website.Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know and we'll b...
Faulty equipment/Terrible customer service
I purchased the tractor on 31 Mar 26. It was selling for $2899 with 48 months financing the same as cash and I found this a pretty attractive offer. It was delivered 4 Apr 26. The tractor is hard to start and stalls out. Total run time on the engine as of this writing is 0.08 hours. It's been in the shed pretty much since delivery on 4 Apr 26. On 6 Apr (5 Apr was Easter and Lowes was closed) I went to customer service. Lowes orders a new tractor; delivery set for 18 Apr 26. Seems like a long t...
Good Mower. I would buy again.
I bought this mower about a month ago. It mows my acre quickly with ease. I have some short but steep inclines it pulls them easily. The deck cuts evenly. It is pretty fuel efficient. I can almost mow my yard twice on one tank of gas. The hydrostatic transmission works flawlessly. Time will tell about the durability of this machine.
Thank you for visiting the Lowe's website. Thanks for your review. We appreciate your comments!
Inspect your Deliveries
I ordered the John Deere S130 and paid $39 to have it delivered. The hood was cracked so I had to refuse delivery. Very disappointed in the quality and care of the delivery. I paid with my Lowes credit card. It has been a complete hassle to get this order cancelled and get my account refunded. I've had to call 3 times now to get this situation cleared up. The last call was to complain that Lowes didn't automatically want to refund the delivery fee. Common sense would say refund it, since...
