Looking out at my several acres of green lawn is one of life's simple pleasures.
But cutting all that grass is not.
A lawn tractor that I can depend on to get the job done right is the key.
Years back I had bought a small John Deere L100 Loved mowing with it for over twenty years.
It ran great until it didn't.
The thing did not start.
I tried buying a new starter, solenoid and key starter switch but nothing still worked.
I could cross start it with a screwdriver but it would run rough for approximately 1/2 hour then began to run fine. Air cleaner and engine cleaner no difference.
So for a few season just ran it and tried to get the most out of it.
Then I went out to mow one day and tried to started with jump from solenoid as usual. Started rough running, speed up & slow down, then died and would not start another lick.
So a trip around town looking at all mowers still in stock was nerve wracking.
Finally decided to buy the John Deere S120 42 in. 22 HP V-Twin Gas Hydrostatic Lawn Tractor at my local orange big box store.
It included features like:
John Deere's easy change 30-second oil change system under the hood, an all-in-1 oil and oil filter canister, allowing anyone to easily change the oil with no tools required. A 15 in. high-back seat that easily adjustable, with 10 possible positions, adjustments can even be made while seated for the perfect fit. A powerful (300 cca) battery that starts even after lengthy storage. A cruise control that maintains tractor speed for mowing my large lawn area.
Also they offered $100. Off and 0% financing for 18 months for a brand new still crated boxed unit.
Can't beat using their money for that duration while I drew interest on mine.
The JD rep inspected it and prep it for pickup.
That was as good deal for me with a yard of about 3 actual acres out of 10 that I keep mowed.
So far I'm going strong and loving it.
However, this heat is another story but the job is done today!
Now it's time for a cold drink and relaxing in the recliner!
