I used a Craftsman YT4000 with the 24hp V-twin for several years before the deck rusted away and collapsed (the machine was a hand-me-down.) I replaced the machine with another secondhand Craftsman that had that 19hp single that is in the E110, and didn't like the loss in power and torque.

So, I decided to "do it right", and went shopping for a new Deere. To get the power I sometimes needed to climb inclines, I stepped up to the E120, with its 20hp V-twin. Definitely a nice machine. If I wasn't taking care of properties other than my own, the E110 probably would have been enough, and certainly would have been easier on my wallet.

The E120 gets an upgraded seat, too. ;-)

Thanks for sharing.

Hey there Brent, I’ve heard mixed opinions on Briggs and Stratton motors nowadays. My grandpa swears by them but a buddy of mine says the ones they make nowadays aren’t as good as they used to be. I’m a 21 year old guy just bought a house on a half acre just looking for a mower that’ll last me a good while. Thanks man I like your videos.

After moving to larger property 2 years ago, we quickly came to the conclusion that we needed to upgrade from a push mower. I had a few riding mowers in mind and was about to ready to make a purchase, but unbeknownst to me, my father in law came over and surprised me with a new John Deere E100.
Within the first 10 hrs of operation the deck belt has broke due to rubbing against the plastic pulley covers on the deck. It came with a 50hr warranty, so it was fixed/replaced for free. Unfortunately though, the next time I drove the mower after replacing the deck belt, the transmission belt broke. So the local repair store (via the warranty) had to come out and pick it up themselves. Aside from those speed bumps at the beginning, the mower has has worked well and I try to maintain it the best I can knowing that it is the bottom of the line John Deere mowers (again, this was a gift, so I am somewhat obligated to ride it until it dies). With all that said, since the general geometry of the E100 and E110 are 99% identical, would it be possible to change the plastic transmission casing from the E100 to the aluminum as shown on the E110?
I currently have 46hrs on the mower that I use to cut about an acre. The acre though is not completely flat which means I ride a little slower compared to mowing 'open country'.

Hey Brent, thanks for the video.
My E100 deck just broke and I'm trying to figure out if other John Deere decks can fit to the E100 or if they are specific to the models?

Brent, I bought the E100 in April 2019 for use on my 1.5+ acre lawn in CT with some mild slopes. I typically tow a Cyclone Rake for grass collection and for leaf collection in the fall. Both functions of the Cyclone Rake have saved me many hours of toil. Problem: my tractor seized up just as I was pulling it into my shed last fall. It suddenly would not go in reverse. Attempts to fix it this week proved fruitless. The stick will not move because the main shaft into the transmission is dead frozen.

I think I underestimated the load requirements of my yard / equipment setup and now I have a dead tractor. Any options other than to replace the transmission myself are too expensive. I now realize I should have purchased a more powerful model.

I was quoted a price from a dealer for a replacement transmission (part only) and would like to know if you can offer me any better options. I would upgrade to a more powerful unit if I could do a trade with someone to mitigate the loss.

Great video Brent! Thanks for sharing the difference! I will still be going to the Z900 models, diesel. Once again thanks for everything you do! Have a great and awesome day!

[ghgomez]

you are the best, man. Straight to the point and great information. I am a new subscriber, thanks.

I just purchased a L105. It ran great when I picked it up...I stored it for a week n went to go start it...fired rite up but stalled rite away..started n stalled few times. Battery died now. Any tricks or ideas to try when I charge the battery....it seemed if I rocked the mower it started again but not stay running

[mikestowe]

does the e110 have plastic transmission cause i wouldnt want plastic trans

[nicholassabella]

My e100 is strong so far first new riding tractor I ever bought for me lol love my deere

[Rideflylaugh]

I’m surprised the head gasket failure rate on these Briggs motors has not been mentioned.
So many of these motors blow head gaskets with low hours, such a poor design. Easy fix but most won’t want to tackle job.
I replaced the gasket on My D110 (same motor ) at 90hrs, neighbour doing his at 85 hrs.

did you ever think about doing a video comparing the S240 and X350? They both have the same size decks, same engine, transmission, wheels, steering wheel, seat. So the challenge is knowing what their differences are and why someone would choose one mower over the other.

[garygarland]

I have 2019 E100 has it the cast aluminum housing and a forward and reverse bought a a john deere dealer

[tomnarkin]

Great video! I'm hoping to buy either the E100 or E110 in the next few days. I'm ok with getting either but you gave me all of the info I need to feel like I know what I'm getting for my money. The extra $200 for the differences you pointed out seem worth it but I want to have one this weekend.

[jonathansmall]

Dude - You are the best - Bought my X350 based on your review. Totally trust your counsel.

[bwilson]

Are these differences the same for 2021?

[ryanjohnson]

Hey great video. I am wondering how I get one of your caps?
