100 Series E Model

My second JD. the first approx 600+ hours, worked extremely well - albeit a bit quick to breakdown after 600 hours. Purchased a 2nd JD E110. after approx 130 hours the clutch went and had to be replaced. after 170 hours the starter motor refused to work and when replaced by the mechanic immediately failed. The mechanic now assumes it to be the "con" in the motor and needs to be completely overhauled. He did state it was rare for that to happen, but it should not have if the mower was properly built in the first place. Hoping that JD will come to the party on some compensation - however not holding my breath.

Mow 1 acre when needed, cuts great, runs good, ZERO problems.

Haven't had machine 4years roughly 110 hours.
Serviced with agent and have had to replace motor, PTO cable 3 times and today it left go again.
You pay for 4 year extended warranty and 2 years in you find out that EXTENDED WARRANTY runs consecutive with the manufacturer 2 year warranty. So why is it called extended warranty.
Had a WALMART Yard Machine for over 13 years and all we did was change oil, have blades sharpened, and replace belts and battery. It is still being used by our nephew.
Will never purchase anything John Deere again. Nothing empties your pockets like a deere.

After changing oil filter in my new E120, does the oil in the sump ever need to be drained. Is this you Bute oil filter that good.

Bought JD e140 in 2018 and it's burning about a quart of oil after running an hour. I'm thinking the head gasket is shot. Unbelievable.

Bought JD since other brand was crap.
Seemed ok when it was new, but started noticing little things. For three(3) blades, it didn’t seem to cut well and it left several small strips of grass.
Bought the bagger, and it is just total garbage. The chute plugs up, at attachment. This after I clean out the residue that gets packed into the mower chute.
It is 2 years old and suddenly it doesn’t start. Checked all connections, battery good wires tight, brake and seat sensors test ok. YouTube vids don’t seem to help.
So wasting more time trying to figure out what’s wrong.
Scale of 1-10 I give it a 4. Should have got zero turn.

I have had my E140 ride on mower for2.5 years now and have to say I am extremely disappointed with it. The cut is not as expected nor the operation of the mower itself.
The service costs are ridiculous - and having to wait 3 weeks to get my mower back from a service is also extremely frustrating.

Would not recommend John Deere to anyone.

Despite 3 efforts by the dealer, the mower cuts lower on the left hand side when cutting 1 way on a side slope and lower on the rhs when cutting in the opposite direction . Adjusting the mower deck level makes no difference. The toe in seems excessive but can’t find correct amount anywhere ?.. Have had ride ons for 25 plus years no problem with prev model on same lawn. Sorry I bought it. Filled in survey from J Deere outlining above .No REPLY

I purchased the E-120 model because of the easy oil change advertising. The owners manual said change filter after first 8/hrs of use. I watched the videos and read the instructions and you can’t do it. It’s totally FALSE.. taking the filter off was hard but putting the new one on is nearly impossible because of the pressure you need to apply down and then twist in a clockwise manner and all in a very confined space. I seriously doubt the ladies or the gentleman in the video really installed the filter. I’m having my mower mechanic come over to see if he can get it on. Shame on you John Deere for deceptive advertising.

New Belt keeps falling off and brackets are welded! No way to tighten belt!!!!!
Horrible design! I guess I’ll
Go with a different mower once I SELL this new mower.. waste of money!!

Bought a e100 ride on tractor mower brand new at Christmas 2020. 15 hrs of use later the drive belt snapped! Also has 2 flat tyres the result of double g’s penetrating the tyres . Management at the Afgri equipment Perth tells me that I should have removed double g’s before mowing.???? Leaving me no option but to Write this review . Not happy !!

Burning & leaking oil bad from day 1. It smokes so bad it burns my eyes. Been in the shop 3 times (Greenway), 16 hours on it, no help. The blade belt is so loose you can't start the blades in grass. Every time you need to go in reverse, with the blade engaged, you must push a button otherwise the engine stops. This is by far the worst mower that I have bought!!!

Belt is either the wrong one ... brand new and delivered by JD dealer ... or the pully system itself is faulty. No way to tighten. Previous JD worked fine and was serviceable. Nice mower, too bad it can't mow.

I bought this 2020 e100 and only have 12 hrs on it. Have went through 4 belts and no one knows why? Cannot adjust drive belt cable. L bracket is welded on. No way to adjust or tighten. 1500 bucks and this is what you get? I am ready to call the CEO and voice my concerns.
