Great ride and easy to use!
Was looking at getting the John Deere S120 with the higher horse power twin engine. But due to these covid times it was impossible to get one. So i jumped on this tractor before it was too late. Glad i purchased the S100 as i didnt need the extra HP for my lawn. Manuals are easy to read and great two year warranty. These mowers have to be inspected before they are able to be sold being as per John Deere requirements so you have peace of mind that its ready to go as soon as you receive it. RONAs consumer service was excellent making sure i received a great working lawn tractor. Just an heads up purchase the mulcher attachment as well. Thanks RONA

Non, non!!!
J'ai acheté ce tracteur il y a 2 ans. Nous avons vu un coulage d'huile au niveau du moteur et il calait.Heureusement, il était encore garantie. Ils ont colmaté la fuite et ont supposément changé le filtreur.
Nous avons pu faire 2 tontes par le suite et le problème de calage est revu. Mais avec une garantie qui s'est terminé entre temps. Nous avons démonté le tracteur et tout changé se qui pouvait se changer. Après deux semaines, ça semblait bien aller....mais BANG le câble d'embrayage a cassé dû au frottement de la stap dessus.
J'ai eu un Craftman pendant 15 ans avec AUCUN problème majeur comme ça. Passez à autre chose!

Nice so far!
Replaced a failing 35 year old John Deere RX75. It’s overkill for what I’m using it for so it will do the job nicely. My main problem is the lack of the accessory door just on this model. Sure it’s only 10 bucks to buy but 20 dollars to ship. Come on John deere, how can you call yourself premium and then do this? Other than that it’s the nicest lawn mower I have ever owned by far

John Deere S100
I bought this one first week of May 2021. Work well. I have adjusted the mower deck. It was almost correct level. I recommend to get a mulch cover to put on when you connect a water hose to deck cleaning. Wash the deck every cut.

Overpriced
Overpriced for the entry level JD lawn tractor. $500 more than anywhere else. And may I ad that it was $2499 online on Aptil 19 next day when I went to the store it was $2999. Great machine but I'll never deal with Rona again.

Excellent
bought this at Rona a month ago and couldn't be happier. Does a great job cutting our 1 acre lawn. On the hilly areas that, truth be told, could use rolling to flatten out the bumps it does leave the tiniest grass ridge...but that is more my lawn problem than the mower. Great turning radius, love the LED lights for evening cuts, mow in reverse is a bonus!

Great lawn tractor!
Easy to use, lots of power for a single cylinder. The hydrostatic transmission with foot pedals make it very simple to operate. Tight turning radius and lots of height adjustment. I don't like having to hold a button to cut in reverse but a minor inconvenience.

Not Reliable service
I purchased this product and 1 month after my warranty expired, my motor blew and john deer would do nothing about it.. I took in and had them rebuild the motor at my expense but still did not fix the problem.
