Just took delivery. I have only used it for one mowing session. My old mower had been broken for a while, so this mower had to take on six inches of growth which it did with ease. The tall grass was pretty wet and my lawn is hilly, but I had good traction except when trying to mow while turning sharply uphill. But the tires never ripped up my turf like the old mower's tires did. The mower did a B-plus job of a level mow even on such tall grass. I will give it a more fair test on my next mow. I'...
Lowes and John Deere do not care
S170 48-in 24 -HP V-twin Gas Lawn tractor we bought this riding lawn mower on March 11 and it quit working on May 8th. Lowes asst manager Sheila lied and said they would replace. when this didn't happen we contacted corporate. they said John Deere will have to warranty and to call them. John Deere charged us 110.00 to pick up the mower. Now they tell us it will be 2 weeks before they even look at the mower. I thought John Deere sold a great product but after reading the reviews on this mower. Th...
Should have gone to the John Deere store
Should have went to the John Deere store. They would have delivered the mower a clean damage free mower to the house at no cost. Here is how buying the mower from Lowe's went. I picked out the mower with the help from a nice guy in the mower department. We went outside and looked over the mower for dents and scratches. We made sure that it started. A nice clean dent free mower. I purchased the mower ( nearly $4,000.00 ) and told the guy that I would come the next day to pick it up. The next ...
Great Value
This JD S170 so far has been great. Starts right up and the 24 hp V-twin runs very smooth and plenty of power. Although id never accuse it of being the most fuel-efficient engine, that's part of the program with a larger, more powerful engine. Besides mowing, it will be able to tow up to 500 lbs. after break-in, great for lawn roller and lawn cart. This machine replaced an older JD D105 that was getting long in the tooth. With the 48" deck on this S170 combined with the hydrostatic drive I have...
Sounds like the perfect fit to get the job done!
DO NOT BUY A JOHN DEERE FROM LOWES!
I paid $400 for an extended warranty when I bought my mower in 12/2025. My mower died and I reached out to Lowes for help. They sent me to a website which works half the time and the automated system said there wasn't a service shop in my area. I went into the Lowes Store and they told me that they don't do service work any longer and had me scan a QR code at the register. I then called the dealer who supports Lowes and they said that Lowes should have scheduled the pick up and delivery of my mo...

I would not buy it again or recommend it
I would definitely NOT recommend this tractor for several reasons: 1. When PTO is engaged, it is extremely loud, I have owned 3 other tractors in the past, all above 20 HP... but this one is insanely loud, it makes using it unpleasant and punishing. I used to enjoy spending an hour cutting my lawn, now I don't like it at all. Yes, I use high-end hearing protection, or I would be deaf from using this mower. 2. The "Easy Change" oil filter only removed about half of the dirty oil when changi...
Great mower. Bad oil filter design
I went a little bigger than I needed and does the job quite well. Love the mower but my only issue is the oil change system. When done as designed only 1/3 of the oil is changed. I will be doing the filter conversion asap.
Thanks for the feedback.
John Deere is the best
If it’s not green and yellow, then it’s just not right.
We might be biased, but green & yellow all the way!
Very Disappointed
I bought an S170 at Lowe's 10 months ago, and the hour meter has already stopped working. It no longer shows the fuel level (full tank) or engine hours (21.3). Lowes's says the warranty is from John Deere, and John Deere says I need to pay $160 so they can pick up the tractor and bring it to their shop so a "John Deere technician" can unplug the old unit and plug in a new one. Or I can save $100 by paying $60 for a new unit and plugging it in myself. It's really despicable that John Deere treats...
Great mower
Good value for the price.
