I was going to get a bagger for my S130 and I read a lot of bad reviews about it, so I just kept my lawn sweeper and I use a mulching plug.

Thank you for doing this video. It is exactly what I needed to see for this mower. Helped a lot to see it in use and your take on it. ☝

I just bought this mower (S130) and I also purchased the rear bagging attachment as well for fall in Ohio. Purchasing the rear pull behind spin spread as well this week. Thanks for sharing.

I have a new S130 and love the turning radius and usability. I had a D160 and this handles much better.

This comment is late, however I did buy the S130 two years ago. Put on a mulching system rather than discharge, changed the oil system to a regular oil filter and oil drain, installed a fuel shut-off between filter and pump, upgraded to bearings in front wheels and, installed the poor-man power steering needle bearings. This machine does a great job and the upgrades were all things John Deere should have done in the first place.
Nice video.

I got a question you have. You have the John Deere S130. Did you consider the S170 for more horsepower considering you have hills on you property and how well if at all does this mower go up hills?

[brianb]

I have the same exact mower as you with over 21hrs. Absolutely love it.

Thanks. Decided on the S130. Nobody's had them around here for months. Local dealer just got one in the other day and let me know. Told him I'd take it after a little thought. Wanted to buy at Lowe's with military discount.. But Worried about supplies come spring, and or increases in prices anyway. Will change the quick oil change, figure out that reverse mowing issue see how it goes.

Thank you for doing this. I just bought this for my new home with 20 acres

I just got the S120 and I love it except for the 30 second oil change thing. Is there a John Deere kit to swap it back to a conventional oil change system? I've seen different videos that give you part numbers of oil filters, drain plug extenders, and the nipple to put on an oil filter. Also since the mower is still new does swapping out the 30 second oil change system void the 2 year bumper to bumper warranty? That's my main concern about doing the swap.

I got S130 2years ago, about 30hours on it. My fuel gauge just failed on me, I heard because battery inside is low or bad. Anyway owner has to buy a new gauge and it cost $75, since the battery cannot change DIY.

I bought this model earlier this yr. Love it!! A challenge I have is getting the bagger unit appropriately seated over the mower deck opening. I have watched several YouTube videos of others installing this and interestingly that part was edited out of all of them. I added a couple of heavy duty S hooks. Makes me nervous since it's not part of the directions but there was no way I could get it on otherwise. I'd love to see you take on it when you get your bagger. Nice video, by the way. Appreciate the review.

I’ve had the JD D160 for 6 years (123 hours) and it’s been very reliable. A couple of tips based on my experience, keep a spare fuel filter and drive belt. I have the bagger and for grass clippings it’s good but only fair at picking up leaves.

[daleknox]

Great video, I got, the same machine about 4 months ago, you need to put a steering knob on your steering wheel, much easier turning while filimg, happy trails!

[Libertycoins]

Looking good my local dealer and big box stores didnt have any s130 left 6 to 8 weeks before i could get one...so the john deere dealer had 2 of the s220 left instock only difference 20 pounds heavier same motor size and width of a s130..should be getting it next week i own a e130 2018 moved it to my off grid property and the s220 is my new residential tractor for mowing thumbs up!!

Its July 2023. Any new thoughts on your S130?

[miket]

2022 s130 bought two first returned to Lowe’s burning grass when I stop on lawn l thought it was gas leak . Got second s130 having same issues when I stop on grass. Figured out heat from engine was the problem called jd they told me how to repair it and said don’t stop on grass! Stop on sidewalk or driveway. 😮😢 do you have a solution?

[Odyssey]

Bought it with the poly wagon I love it

Thank you so much for your video update. We just bought a new model s130 last week from our local John Deere dealer to replace our 17 year old model LA120 Deere. I went with the model s130 because it comes with the wide tires like our LA120 had, which I very much have liked.
…our s130 has only about 8 operating hours on it, doing 3 yard mows.

My question> How did you find the operating NOISE LEVEL on your s130 ?

Our new s130 is much MUCH noisier than our old LA120, to the point I went to our local Home Depot and bought some Milwaukee in the ear noise protection, which I never felt I needed to do with our LA120.

⬆️ I am concerned that something might be loose that shouldn’t be.

Thanks for your encouraging video and your reply in advance.
