Handles slopes better than I expected for the price. Would recommend to anyone considering the John Deere S100 42-Inch 17.5 HP Gas Ridi.
Handles slopes better than I expected for the price.
Starts on the first pull every time so far, very happy with it.
Bagging system works great, no clumping even in thick grass. Assembly took longer than expected but works great.
Couldn't be happier. Deck height adjustment is easy and the results look great. Would recommend to anyone considering the John Deere S100 42-Inch 17.5 HP Gas Riding Lawn Tractor Hydrostatic Transmission.
