Product Features
A 100-Series Lawn Tractor is the perfect companion for property care tasks. Use a bagger to collect clippings and leaves. Transport mulch using a cart. A snow blower removes snow while a weather enclosure protects you from the elements. All John Deere attachments are tested to ensure compatibility.
A large operator's platform gives you room to move. A wide anti-vibration footrest with debris channels adds comfort. Controls are positioned within easy reach, including the spring-assisted hand grip lever that raises and lowers the deck easily.
The Kanzaki® Tuff Torq® hydrostatic transmission offers an infinite choice of speeds, making direction changes seamless. Side-by-side foot pedals control speed and direction — enhancing operator comfort and ease of use across varied conditions.
A 42-in. stamped-steel Edge™ Mower Deck delivers a smooth, high-quality cut. Deep-dome design lifts grass for a clean cut, side-discharge is standard — with optional rear bagger or MulchControl™ kit available.

My first John Deere. The S100 was recommended to me by a mobile mechanic who had worked on my Cub Cadet that kept breaking down. I'm really happy with the mower — it's easy to operate and really a quality product.

So far, so good. It runs well and doesn't get bogged down easily. The turn radius is much better than I expected, and it handles my property with no issues at all.

Previously owned a D105. The S100 is very similar with a couple nice improvements. You no longer have to 'shift' to go into reverse or forward — just press the pedal for each direction. The bagging system is an overall improvement with a better cover closure.

I needed to return to using a riding mower but did not want a machine too large or to break my bank account. I chose the S100 over the others for quality and reputation — and it's made in the USA. After a couple months I am very happy with my choice.

I've only used it a few times but it runs great. I was especially pleased with the service I received from the dealer. I did everything over the phone — basically I called and said 'send me an S100,' and in a few days it arrived.

Hubby loaded a brand new John Deere out of his truck for my 60th and I had never owned a brand new mower before — and this one even has a cup holder! It starts easy, cuts beautifully, and the hydrostatic pedals make backing up a breeze. Very happy with my Deere.

I've owned John Deere before and this S100 keeps the tradition going. Assembly was straightforward, the deck leveled easily, and it mows my 1-acre lot in under an hour. The LED headlights are a nice touch for evening cleanup passes.

I've put several seasons on my S100 now and it keeps running strong. The 42-in. Edge deck gives a clean, even cut and the hydrostatic transmission is smooth. Routine maintenance is simple with the no-tools oil drain.

For the price, you get a lot of tractor. The S100 handles my 1.5-acre property without breaking a sweat, and the dealer support has been great. The 2-year warranty gives peace of mind for a first-time rider owner.

Bought this a year ago and it has been fantastic. It starts reliably, cuts evenly, and the controls are intuitive. The seat is comfortable and the footrest keeps debris from building up. Would recommend to anyone with a medium-sized yard.

The hydrostatic transmission makes this tractor so much easier to drive than my old gear-drive mower. Speed and direction changes are seamless, and the 42-in. deck covers plenty of ground. Happy with the purchase.
