What Customers Are Saying
The John Deere S100 riding lawn mower is generally well-received as a reliable and capable machine for smaller to medium-sized yards. Customers praise its ease of use, smooth ride, and tight turning radius. The mower provides a clean, even cut and has sufficient power to handle most residential lawns. Features like the hydrostatic transmission, forward and reverse pedals, and deck wash system are appreciated. However, some customers have experienced issues with the belt, battery, or transmission, and a few found the ride to be rougher than expected on uneven terrain.

completely unreliable
after only 5 years old stuck in first gear, able to put in back in gear then the next year once again stuck in first gear, taken to repair shop & found out this mower has a plastic trans housing which overheated & warped, overly expensive to replace trans. no more John Deere for me, who puts in a plastic trans housing, seriously?
We sincerely apologize for this experience! We will be sure to document this issue. We appreciate you taking your time to share your review.
