Whatever you do, don’t buy from Lowe’s! I bought a Husqvarna zero turn mower two years ago and I had problems 32 days in less than five hours of use. Lowes told me it was my problem and I have a nice day. I had to go all the way up to corporate before I finally got my money back. they had sold me a remanufactured mower that had prior issues and was returned by someone else. The store passed it off to me as brand new. I was wondering why there was a discount on the mower, but I thought it was just because it was the end of the year. Nothing like catching them in a lie. I will never buy from a store again! Make sure you find a good dealership with excellent customer service. This is more important than choosing a brand.

I bought my first zero turn JD Z530m from Lowe's a couple of months ago. I received my veterans discount of 10% and free delivery to my farm, 70 miles away!

The box stores all the low end John Deere the dealership sells the high-end John Deere there's a totally different and price and quality

I just bought a S100 from Lowes $2, 399 i told the guy wonder why JD didn't put a storage lid on, he when over and took one off the S130 put it on the one i bought, few people would even do that so that was good. He was really helpful telling everything about the S100, he owned one before upgrading to a bigger model, plus will the military discount I did get $244 off, that basically paid the tax.

The Lowes i bought it from, there's a John Deere dealer just 3 miles away so that is good i have a JD close to me.

I will change the oil, filter after 3 hours to get rid of the metal shavings in the new engine, thats something people overlook.

Just picked up an s240 a couple of weeks ago due in part to your videos. Working on fertilizing and overseeding my new yard already.

Bought my s240 from a dealer after watching your review on the s240, I love it, kawasaki engine runs awesome

My s100 John deere is getting delivered Thursday from.lowes excited to use it.

Why would a person want to purchase a new mower that has been sitting outside in the rain for days / weeks?

[rodolphestpreux]

Thanks for the review. I just purchased mine. I thought the warranty is 30days no questions asked. The john deer promise

Wonder why JD can't make a seat that lasts for 6 months.

When it comes to lawn tractors I do not go below the X series to me the S series stands for Sooner mowers meaning Sooner walk on by

I have seen several videos where side by side comparisons of the same year and model show there is a difference in a dealer unit and a box store one. One comes to mind where an Ariens Zero turn had better grips on the drive levers and a much better seat on the dealer model. My local dealers also will charge a trip fee to pick up and return your unit needing warranty repair. If it's one bought at their store, it's no charge. The only reason to buy from Lowes or Home Depot is the store credit card or financing. The assembly people there are terrible.

My 15 yo LA115 is still going strong - just did the head gasket last week to deal with an oil blowby leak at 307 hours and it started right back up without issue. That gasket was insufficient compared to the replacement and it's really the only big problem I've ever had. This model was $1700 back in 2009, and included the JD poly dump cart for free. It has great cutting quality especially if you have done your own lawn renovation.
My only complaints are that the paint on the deck on this machine began flaking in large sections after just 1 season- while cleaning it with hose water. And when I changed the tuff-torq oil a few years ago, I noticed that the green paint on the on the body is extremely delicate and also could easily flake off at the edge (probably cause the paint spray wasn't wrapped).
I'm in the mode to get a replacement now...not sure whether to go with the S170 or the Cub Cadet LT1 50- youare just paying for the JD name and I'm not sure $600 is worth it if finish issues are still allowed by their inspectors before shipping.
Best advice I can offer is to buy the one you really want even if it's a little bit of a stretch- I still really like mine but should have gone with an LA130, LA135 or LA140 at the time- I probably wouldn't be looking at new mowers right now and would still be satisfied with the same higher features offered even back then otherwise- these mowers have had pretty much zero change in terms of engine, mowing and quality.

Went to the dealer to look for a S160 for my daughter a couple of years ago. Dealer said they don't sell those. Ordered a S160 from Home Depot (white glove service). Lo and Behold the dealer who didn't have them delivered the tractor... and had no clue what the white glove service was.

But the X series tractors are not available at HD or Lowes and are not made in Tennessee they are made in Wisconsin. So in away there not the same as the dealers. However you can get the same bottom of the line box store tractors at the dealer.

I purchased my 1st riding mower at a JD dealer in Lubbock what used to be Hurst, I rushed over there after work, the salesman wasnt very happy because it was almost closing time, and then he profiled me by asking, "are you sure this check is going to clear?" Never again, I plan on purchasing a new zero turn in a few weeks. Im getting it at home depot.

Same mower, but beware: Bought an S100 from Lowe’s May 2024. Registered it and saw it was a 2023. Fuel line and carburetor clogged after just 6 hours of use, 2 1/2 months later (I only use ethanol free gas with 1 ounce of Stabil per five gallons). Lowe’s said it’s not their problem, I should have bought the extended warranty. Local Deere dealer says Lowe’s puts gas in them to move them, then they sit for months to years on the lot. On top of that they’re telling me the warranty doesn’t cover fuel issues, so it’s almost $500 to repair. I will warn everybody I can reach to never buy a lawnmower from Lowe’s. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

I always heard not to by a John Deere at the box stores cause a John Deere dealer will not service it? But, I bought a Z345R at my dealer, spent all that money, and still got screwed! Go figure???

[timr]

Buy from the dealerships you get the same price and you get people that will set your tractor up for you and they know what they're doing

[drbcrb]

Will work with the dealer always. Much better service and knowledge of what we are doing.
