The 48-in. (122-cm) Accel Deep Mower Deck is a stamped-steel, deep, flat-top design that delivers excellent cut quality, productivity, cleanliness, durability, and versatility. Optimal performance and dispersion of clippings is provided, even at faster mowing speeds or in tall grass:

  • 4.83-in. (12.3-cm) depth throughout the entire deck shell allows for optimum mowing, mulching, and bagging performance.
    • Optional MulchControl™ system provides superior mulching performance and versatility.
  • Stamped-steel design eliminates sharp edges and corners where material can build up and diminish mowing performance.
  • Mower deck is suspended from the vehicle for a smooth and level cut.
    • Adjustable mower wheels positioned just above ground level help reduce scalping.
  • 0.25-in. (6.4-mm) cut-height increments allow mower to be set at the desired cut height
  • Compatible with high-performance Power Flow™ material collection system

NOTE: Optional front center rollers shown in above mower deck photos.

Deep mower-deck stamping gives excellent cut quality. It allows the cut and suspended material room to exit the deck without getting recut:

  • Reducing the amount of recutting enables more power to be used to cut incoming grass, which greatly improves mower capacity.
    • Helps maintain excellent cut quality at faster mowing speeds
  • Clean flow of material out of the discharge area prevents cut material from interfering with cutting the incoming grass, making it possible for the blades to cut incoming material cleanly.
  • Even in mulching mode, cut evenness is improved compared to other designs because the additional depth allows for continuous circulation, optimal recutting, and an even distribution of clippings.
Productivity - getting the job done fast
Left side of Accel Deep mower deck Left side of Accel Deep mower deck
Right side of Accel Deep mower deck Right side of Accel Deep mower deck

Deep mower-deck stamping gives high productivity, which gets the job done fast. It allows the cut and suspended material room to exit the deck quickly, reducing the amount of recutting so more power is available to process incoming grass:

  • Greatly improves mowers capacity to maintain excellent mowing performance in difficult mowing conditions and at higher speeds

Large discharge opening is both high and wide to handle more material:

  • Gives a smooth, even discharge of clippings at all mowing speeds
  • Reduces the chance of plugging, especially important when operating in wet, thick, or dense grass and when bagging
Cleanliness - for the mower and the operator

The flat-top shape of the deck stamping is optimal for keeping the deck and the operator clean:

  • There are few places to catch and hold material on top and underneath the deck.
    • Top of deck stays cleaner, reducing time and effort needed for cleaning and service
    • Underside of deck is self-cleaning to maintain optimum performance without build-up of material to interfere with the flow of air and clippings
    • Less need to clean and remove buildup of material from underside deck
  • The depth of the Accel Deep mower deck minimizes the amount of material that escapes from the front of the deck.
    • Limited amount of material drifts onto the operator and mower deck
    • Even for material discharged out of the chute, less recutting results in larger pieces that are less likely to end up on the operator
    • Mulching prevents the discharge of material completely, and the MulchControl system makes mulching a practical solution for most mowing situations.

Cleaning a mower deck, both top and bottom, is one of the most frequent maintenance activities:

  • The flat-top design reduces places for material to build up and makes material that does collect easy to remove.

Easy-to-adjust mower wheel and mower side reinforcement Easy-to-adjust mower wheel and mower side reinforcement

The 48A Mower Deck has strong spindle pockets, to keep the blades aligned, even after years of tough service:

  • Stamped from strong 10-gauge, 0.135-in. (3.4-mm) steel
  • Ribs in the deck shell add strength where it is needed.

Mower wheels are heavy duty:

  • Provides greater strength and durability for longer, trouble-free life.
  • Setting wheels to the correct height for the cutting height is quick and easy.

Low-tension belt-drive design reduces the side load on engine lower bearings and mower deck bearings for longer life.

The mower deck features a 5/8-in. (16-mm) diameter solid-steel rod side bumper that provides extra strength and protection.

Dual-stage E-coat and powder-paint coatings provide extra protection from rust.

Mower blades

Side-discharge blades can be used with the Power Flow system when bagging.

Mulching blades are included with the optional MulchControl attachment. They can be used for mulching, side discharging, and bagging.

Versatility - easy to change between side discharge, mulch, and bagging modes

The 48A Mower Deck is designed for maximum versatility, providing the greatest ease in changing from one mower discharge mode to another

  • With an optional MulchControl system installed (along with the special mulching blades), changing from side discharging to mulching or vice versa is done with the simple flip of a lever.
  • The Power Flow rear bagger can be used with MulchControl by simply using the MulchControl lever to move the mulch baffle to the side-discharge position.

The optional MulchControl system makes mulching more practical for many mowing situations because it not only does an excellent job of mulching, but it also allows the mower to be easily converted for times when it is more desirable to side discharge or collect the lawn material. Advantages of mulching grass clippings include:

  • Creates a beautiful looking lawn
  • Smaller grass clippings disappear into the lawn canopy
  • Reduces fertilizer needs
  • Grass clippings are not blown onto the operator, driveways, or flower beds
  • No need to dispose of bags of clippings
How MulchControl works
MulchControl baffle closed (shown on X300 42A mower deck) MulchControl baffle closed (shown on X300 42A mower deck)
MulchControl baffle open (shown on X300 42A mower deck) MulchControl baffle open (shown on X300 42A mower deck)

MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:

  • The MulchControl system includes an adjustable MulchControl baffle near the discharge chute and fixed baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.
  • The MulchControl handle is on top of the mower deck and is used to open and close the MulchControl baffle.
  • When the MulchControl baffle is open, most of the material flows freely out the discharge deflector or into a material collection system.
  • When the MulchControl baffle is closed, material stays within the deck and gets chopped into mulch and deposited in the turf.

MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:

  • For operators who usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too long
  • For operators who usually side discharge, but would like to close the chute to control clippings in some areas
  • For operators who always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns
  • For operators who collect clippings but want to go farther before emptying the material collection system

MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings.

MulchControl limitations

While in the side-discharge mode, MulchControl still mulches about one third of the material. Therefore, the side-discharge mode is essentially a partial-mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps to reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:

  • When cutting strong southern grasses, such as Zoysia and Bermuda
  • When cutting in wet, high-growth conditions, such as those found in the Pacific Northwest United States
  • When optimum bagging and lawn cleanup is desired

When bagging with MulchControl on a 48A mower deck, the MulchControl baffle can be opened or closed with the Power Flow™ blower installed. The Power Flow blower runs without material when the baffle is closed.

Rear baffle (A) must be removed for bagging with MulchControl with 42A mower decks Rear baffle (A) must be removed for bagging with MulchControl with 42A mower decks

When bagging with MulchControl on a 42A mower deck, the cut-and-throw rear bagger can be used with the MulchControl blades. However, the rear MulchControl baffle (A) needs to be removed to install the bagger chute. The baffle is held in place with two carriage bolts. To return to mulching, the chute needs to be removed and the baffle replaced.

MulchControl compatibility

Each MulchControl system is an optional field-installed attachment and includes everything needed for handle actuation: baffles, handle, and mulch blades.

7P Poly Utility Cart 7P Poly Utility Cart

Every owner of a John riding lawn and garden product is a potential customer for a high-quality, affordable utility cart. Utility carts can be used to haul a variety of materials including firewood, lawn debris, sand, dirt, mulch, garden tools, plants, and bushes.

Utility carts are designed, painted, and decaled to be compatible with other John Deere equipment.

7P Poly Utility Cart 7P Poly Utility Cart
  • The cart has a premium molded, high-density polyethylene box construction.
  • Compression molding process allows polyethyl­ene to be the optimum thickness in all areas for superior strength and durability.
  • Polyethylene body will not rust or dent; it stays looking new longer.
  • 0.75-in. (2-cm) x 2-in. (5-cm) stake pockets are molded in to make the addition of side extensions easy.
  • Two vertical 0.75-in. (2-cm) molded channels on each side allow easy use of dividers to separate the box into two or three compartments.
  • Ribs in the box bottom add strength and prevent the shovel from hitting bolts when emptying the cart.
  • Sloped tailgate design makes emptying the box easier; there is no tailgate to loosen or remove.
  • Styling is compatible with other John Deere equipment.
  • Pneumatic tires provide turf tread for good flotation, shock absorption, and minimal rolling resistance.
Wheels

The pneumatic tires offer the following:

  • Good flotation
  • Minimal rolling resistance
  • Shock absorption
Sloped tailgate

10P Poly Utility Cart 10P Poly Utility Cart

Every owner of a John Deere riding lawn and garden product is a potential customer for a high-quality, affordable utility cart.


Utility carts can be used to haul a variety of materials:

  • Firewood
  • Lawn debris
  • Sand
  • Dirt
  • Mulch
  • Garden tools
  • Plants and bushes

The 10P Utility Cart is designed, painted, and decaled to be compatible with other John Deere equipment:

  • 10-cu ft (283-L), heavy-duty, 0.25-in. (6.4-mm) thick poly bed
  • Will not dent or rust
  • 15x6 tubeless pneumatic tires with turf tread for maximum traction
  • Easy, hands-free foot pedal dump release
  • Steep dump angle for complete emptying

 

A convenient foot pedal dump release kit, LP48017, which now comes standard on all 10P and 17P carts is available to retrofit existing poly carts. This kit allows the operator to use both hands to lift the cart bed for more natural and efficient unloading.

Wheels are mounted on a solid, one-piece axle for durability.

Iron/Oilite® wheel bearings with grease fittings provide lubrication for long life.

Pneumatic tires offer:

  • Good flotation
  • Minimal rolling resistance
  • Shock absorption

Turf-tread tires are used on the 13 Utility Cart.

Deluxe tailgate Deluxe tailgate

Deluxe tailgate is hinged for easy emptying and can also be quickly removed without the use of tools.

Easy hookup and tilt-dump latch
Spring-pin tractor hitch Spring-pin tractor hitch
Tilt-dump latch Tilt-dump latch

A large-diameter hitch pin provides plenty of strength:

  • Fast, easy attachment to the tractor hitch
  • Spring pin to ensure the pin stays in place

The easy-to-use latch allows tilting the bed for easier unloading:

  • Steep dump angle makes emptying easier.

16YS Swivel Cart

Order number: LP68186



Oilite is a trademark of Beemer Precision Incorporated.

17P Utility Cart 17P Utility Cart

Every owner of a John Deere riding lawn and garden product is a potential user of a high-quality, affordable utility cart.


Utility carts can be used to haul a variety of materials:

  • Firewood
  • Lawn debris
  • Sand
  • Dirt
  • Mulch
  • Garden tools
  • Plants and bushes

Utility carts are designed, painted, and decaled to be compatible with other John Deere equipment.

 

Key features of the 17P Utility Cart:

  • Cart has premium molded polypropylene box construction.
  • Polypropylene body will not rust or dent, staying new looking longer.
  • 0.75- x 2-in. (19- x 51-mm) stake pockets are molded in to make addition of side extensions easy.
  • Two vertical 0.75-in. (19-mm) molded channels on each side allow for easy use of dividers to separate the box into two or three compartments.
  • Ribs in box bottom add strength and prevent a shovel from hitting bolts when emptying the cart.
  • Sloped tailgate design makes emptying the box easier; no tailgate to loosen or remove.
  • Styling is compatible with other John Deere equipment.
  • 16x6.5 pneumatic tires with turf tread give good flotation, shock absorption, and minimal rolling resistance.
  • Wheels are mounted on a solid one-piece axle.
  • Wheels turn on iron/Oilite® bushings with grease fitting for long life.
  • Spring-loaded dump latch is easy to use.

A convenient foot pedal dump release kit, LP48017, which now comes standard on all 10P and 17P carts is available to retrofit existing poly carts. This kit allows the operator to use both hands to lift the cart bed for more natural and efficient unloading.

6.5-bu (229-L) hopper 6.5-bu (229-L) hopper
Power Flow blower Power Flow blower

The BUC10126 6.5-bu (229-L) Power Flow grass collection system includes the hopper, chute, and blower. Mower blades are not included, as the bagger works well with either the standard side-discharge blades or mulching blades and the MulchControl™ system. It expands versatility of an S240 Tractor equipped with a 48-in. (122-cm) Accel Deep™ Mower Deck.

NOTE: Front ballast for the tractor is recommended, especially when operating on hills or inclines.

The blower, chute, and fan are molded from high impact polymer:

  • Power Flow is lightweight for easy handling and minimal effect on mowing smoothness.
  • It will not rust or corrode.
  • Fan and housing resist wear and abrasion caused by sand.
  • Contoured design gives a clean appearance and smooth grass flow.
  • Fan is driven with V-belt from a sheave added to the top right mower spindle.

The chute includes a convenient handle and a fill indicator that tells the operator when the bags are full.

Overview

The bagger kit can be set up without tools in minutes, provides efficient bagging performance, and has easy-to-empty bags. This is also commonly known as a material collection system (MCS).

Benefits

Bagging

  • Two durable bags provide a generous 6.5-bu (229-L) capacity.
  • The lower chute provides smooth airflow to reduce the chance of plugging.
  • A duct directs air leaving the hopper toward the ground for clean operation.
  • Loose-knit bags and a large exit duct allow more air flow to provide complete bag filling in wet grass conditions.

Emptying

  • Monitor bag filling progress through a window; see light coming through the loose-knit bag or watch for grass lying against it.
  • The hopper lid stays open while you empty the bags.
  • The bags slide out with a pull and the handles make emptying easy.
  • The hopper cover automatically latches when you close it.
Additional details
  • Front ballast is recommended when bagging, especially on hills or inclines. Follow instructions in your operator’s manual.
  • Use of rear tow-behind attachments that could contact the hopper assembly is not recommended.
  • Installation:
    • Special mower blades are not required for bagging.
    • The kit is easy to remove and stores compactly. No parts are left behind to interfere with other attachments

The Power Flow blower propels the collected grass and leaves into the hopper.

  • Contoured design gives a clean appearance and smooth grass flow.
  • The fan is driven by belt parts included in the kit.
  • The Power Flow blower cannot be added to a bagger kit that was not originally equipped with it.
  • The five-blade fan runs at about 3200 rpm when engine speed is full.
  • The system is lightweight for easy handling.

The 6.5-bu (229-L) hopper, chute, and Power Flow blower are for use with:

  • S240 Tractors with 48-in. (122-cm) Accel Deep (48A) mower deck

Front Blade

46-in. (117-cm) Front Blade 46-in. (117-cm) Front Blade

The front blade is excellent for pushing light snow or other loose material.

The blade is constructed for good performance and long life:

  • Blade surface is curved to roll rather than push material, which requires less power and increased blade capacity.
  • Bolt-on, replaceable cutting edge takes most of the wear to greatly extend the useful life of the blade.

For operator convenience, the blade comes with standard equipment for controlling it from the tractor seat:

  • Blade can be angled left, right, or used in the straight-ahead position.
Full working range
Full working range Full working range

The 46-in. (117-cm) blade can be operated up to 6.5 in. (16.5 cm) above ground level.

Floating action is designed into the lift linkage, so the blade is free to follow the contour of the ground.

The lift-linkage design makes raising the blade easy.

8-oz (237-mL) Fuel-Protect gasoline stabilizer 8-oz (237-mL) Fuel-Protect gasoline stabilizer

John Deere Fuel-Protect gasoline stabilizer is a unique formula developed to ensure optimum performance and protection year-round: 

  • Has corrosion preventers
  • For lawn and garden equipment and other gasoline-powered vehicles
  • Ensures quick starts in all two- and four-cycle engines
  • Use in gasoline, gasoline-oil mixture, and ethanol blends
  • Use to treat gas cans at each fill-up or use at every fill-up of vehicle
  • Keeps fuel fresh for 12 months
  • Contains a fuel injector and carburetor cleaner
  • 1 oz (29.6 mL) treats 2 gal. (7.6 L)

Always use fuel stabilizer in gasoline.

Fuel sitting in gas tanks or gas containers for more than 30 days begins to degrade. Also, blended fuels and water in gasoline can form acids that corrode fuel-system components. Protect the investment - use John Deere fuel stabilizer with corrosion preventers and prevent hard starting, surging, lack of power, poor idle, flooding, and will not run or stay running conditions caused by poor-quality fuel. Ask a local John Deere dealer or visit John Deere Parts.

Helpful tips:

  • Add fuel stabilizer every time fuel is purchased.
  • Deere gasoline-powered equipment is recommended to run on a minimum of 87 octane gasoline.
  • John Deere Fuel-Protect for gasoline is safe to use in all types of gasoline, including gasoline/oil mixtures and blended fuels containing up to 10 percent ethanol.
  • Use plastic fuel containers to store fuel; ask a local John Deere dealer.
  • For best results, use a spill-proof gas can that automatically seals the gas can vent.
  • Store fuel in a cool, dry, dark place in a sealed fuel can.
  • Fill tank to the top every time the machine is put away.
    • Make sure tank is drained if stored for the winter or treated if left for prolonged periods of time.

Please refer to the operator’s manual for additional recommendations and warranty information.

Fuel related issues are not considered a warrantable condition as there is no defect in the materials or workmanship of the machine.

X730 Tractor with 48A Mower Deck X730 Tractor with 48A Mower Deck

The MulchControl attachment for the 48A Mower Deck makes mulching more practical for many mowing situations because it not only does an excellent job of mulching but it also allows the mower to be easily converted for times when it is more desirable to side discharge or collect the lawn material. Advantages of mulching grass clippings include:

  • A beautiful looking lawn
  • Grass clippings not blown onto the operator, driveways, or flower beds
  • Less fertilizer use
  • Elimination of the effort needed to dispose of clippings
How MulchControl works
MulchControl baffle open (similar mower from X700 Series Tractor shown) MulchControl baffle open (similar mower from X700 Series Tractor shown)
MulchControl baffle closed (similar mower from X700 Series Tractor shown) MulchControl baffle closed (similar mower from X700 Series Tractor shown)

MulchControl is an innovative, simple design that is easy to use and maintain:

  • The MulchControl attachment includes baffles to control the flow of material under the deck.
    • The MulchControl baffle, or divider, between the left and middle spindles is about half way down. The height is designed to balance the mulching and side-discharge modes.
    • When the MulchControl baffle is open, the divider between the left and middle spindles passes a portion of the material to the discharge opening, along with the material from the middle and right spindle areas.
    • When the MulchControl baffle is closed, this material stays within the deck and gets chopped into mulch and deposited in the turf.
MulchControl baffle closed MulchControl baffle closed
MulchControl handle MulchControl handle
  • The MulchControl handle is located on top of the mower deck and used to open and close the discharge baffle.
    • The operator is required to get off of the machine in order to engage or disengage mulch mode.
  • Changing from mulching to side discharging or vice versa takes only a few seconds.

MulchControl is well-suited to the following mowing situations:

  • Usually mulch, but side discharge when grass gets too long
  • Usually side-discharge, but would like to be able to close the chute to control clippings
  • Always mulch a main lawn, but often side discharge secondary lawns
  • Bag clippings, but want to go farther before emptying bags
    • With 48A and 54A Mower Decks, the MulchControl baffle can be opened or closed with the Power Flow™ blower installed. The Power Flow blower will run without material when the baffle is closed.

MulchControl puts the operator in control of the clippings. The operator can have all the benefits of mulching with the ability to easily change to side discharge or bagging when needed.

MulchControl limitations

While in the side-discharge mode, MulchControl will still mulch about one third of the material. Therefore, the side-discharge mode is essentially a partial-mulch mode. This can be an advantage when side discharging or bagging, as it helps to reduce the amount of material being discharged. Other times this could work as a disadvantage:

  • When cutting strong southern grasses, such as Zoysia and Bermuda
  • When cutting in wet, high-growth conditions, such as those found in the Pacific Northwest United States
  • When optimum bagging and lawn clean-up is desired

Protection

Key features:

  • Protects against sun damage, rain, dust, and tree sap
  • Split back for fast fitting and easy access after installation
  • Fabric is coated for maximum water resistance and repellency
  • Reinforcements at key locations
  • Reinforced air vent lets air circulate and helps prevent ballooning in wind

Tire Chains

TerraGrip Traction Belt TerraGrip Traction Belt

Protect your driving surface. TerraGrip Traction Belts offer enhanced traction on snow, mud, dirt, wet asphalt, and wet concrete surfaces. They will not scratch or chip concrete, asphalt, or aggregate drives or walkways. The proven reliability of the traditional steel chain attachment system is used and combined with the performance and durability of reinforced rubber slats. The rubber slats wrap around the tire so only rubber touches the driving surface. The result is aggressive traction without the risk of surface damage, that can happen with traditional chains.

Features:
  • Rubber slats surround the tire and will not damage driveways or sidewalks.
  • No steel touches the driving surface.
  • No-tools installation utilizes a traditional steel chain attachment system.
  • Traction is improved on all surfaces, especially loose material (snow, dirt, mud, sand, etc.).
  • TerraGrip Traction Belts are approved for John Deere 100, 200, X300, X500 M-T, and X700 Series Tractors.

Additional information for 4-wheel-steer tractor models:

  • X700 Series – requires wheel spacer sold separately
  • X500 Series – requires wheel stop adjustment
  • X300 Series – no additional requirements

Weights

34-lb (15.4-kg) front wheel weight 34-lb (15.4-kg) front wheel weight

A durable cast-iron weight can be mounted to each front wheel.

These weights are recommended for use when operating on slopes, especially when the tractor is equipped with a rear grass bagger or other rear-mounted equipment.

Each weight requires BM17978 mounting hardware.

42-lb (19-kg) Quik-Tatch weight 42-lb (19-kg) Quik-Tatch weight
42-lb (19-kg) weights and optional mounting bracket 42-lb (19-kg) weights and optional mounting bracket

The 42-lb (19-kg) Quik-Tatch can be used to counterbalance a heavy front or rear attachment and/or provide greater stability, especially when operating on hills.

This weight is constructed of cast iron and weighs approximately 42 lb (19 kg).

Some vehicles have built-in front and/or rear weight brackets to hang the weights on; others require a weight bracket that must be ordered separately.

X400/X500 Heavy-Duty Garden Tractors and X700 Series Tractors require the following parts when weights are installed on the front of the tractor:

  • One  M147986 weight retaining rod (Parts)
  • Two  M40461 spring clip (Parts)
Rear weight bracket shown with two 42-lb (19.1-kg) weights Rear weight bracket shown with two 42-lb (19.1-kg) weights
Rear weight bracket Rear weight bracket

The rear suitcase weight provides extra ballast that is needed to reduce wheel slippage and increase snow-removal capability.

Rear weight bracket shown with two 42-lb (19.1-kg) weights Rear weight bracket shown with two 42-lb (19.1-kg) weights

The rear weight bracket provides a tractor-mounted bracket for hanging two weights:

  • BG20627 replaces BG20022 and BG20499 rear weight brackets.
  • Clearance is provided for the carbon canister that is required on tractors sold in California.
  • BG20627 can be used in all applications where BG20022 and BG20499 were used.
30-lb (13.6-kg) front wheel-weight shown 30-lb (13.6-kg) front wheel-weight shown

Hardware is required for installing each front-wheel weight.

Requirements:

  • Mounting may require drilling two holes in the wheel rim.
  • BM17978 mounting hardware kit is required for each weight.

NOTE: Front-wheel weights are not available for special edition tractors because the styled front-wheel design does not have appropriate holes for mounting the wheel weights and no adapter is available.

Great Features and a Smooth ride

5/5

Bought this to replace my Troy-Bilt. I couldn't have made a better decision. The Kawasaki engine runs strong and is a huge upgrade over the Briggs. I added a bagger to my package and later added the mulch control. Wish I had added the mulch control up front, but the dealer was happy to get it me. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and my dealer.

Great for big rough yard

5/5

I bought this tractor about six months ago to replace my E130. I have about five acres that I mow with rough terrain; gullies, hills, trees, etc. I don't worry about tipping. The turn radius is quite good. The one problem I have is I have a lot of thorny vines that poke small holes in the tires causing slow leaks. Unless the leak gets too bad, I have a small air compressor that I use to fill the tires before mowing. I got the mulch kit which helps a lot.

5/5

After many years of getting by with a few jalopies it was time to stop purchasing used junky products of all sorts. After a good amount of research it seemed that a John Deere is the only logical choice. The is no shortage of junk on the market. Some of the most popular brands have decreased in quality so much that its no different than anything regarding you get what you pay for. My S 240 is great and such a pleasure and fun to use. I love it!

4/5

bought the Deere just to get the optional mulch control package that other companies don't seem to offer...works great...other items Deere should address: 1) too sensitive seat shut-off--when i lean over to lift chute to get thru tight spaces the mower wants to shut off; 2) cut in reverse should be one and done for entire cutting session instead of having to push button each time for reverse cutting; 3) fast attach mower blades not offered...other than those items the Kawasaki engine is smooth, the handling is efficient, and the mower cuts well.

Always wanted a John Deere Lawn tractor

5/5

Ever since I saw the movie the “Straight Story”, I wanted a John Deere. Of course living on a small plot in the city meant it would have been ridiculous. When I moved to a place with enough land to actually need one, it was a no brainer. That aside, it works well, mows the lawn, drags a trailer behind it to move stuff to and fro across the garden and makes me pleased I bought it.

Solid Mower

5/5

My previous mower was a John Deere L110 lawn tractor. After 22 solid years of service I had to go with Deere again. This time stepped up and went for the bigger model. I hope this provides just as many solid years of service. So far it's working great. Improved steering angle make getting around tight areas nice. It does sit a little taller as I noticed when I reached down for a pine cone. Something I don't do now....

Couple of issues from manufacturing

3/5

Purchased when the unit was available, but let it sit idle for a while before using. Learned that the front linkage of the mower deck had not been connected to the control arm next to the operator seat, at assembly, and, that the spring to overcome and adjust the height, is more stiff than it should be. Dealer came right out and connected the linkage to the control arm, however the spring issue is not repairable. I can muscle it but, others in the family are having some difficulty. Good points: comfort, starting and engine power/noise are good.

5/5

Only have under 20Hrs on the machine, I cut my yard, my neighbors and my mothers yard. Cuts nicely, I just added a bagger, which took 6 months to get. Install SHOULD have be easier but with the instructions they print it took longer to figure it out. In searching Youtube for help, go to the X350 install video, it is very close to the correct install. I believe its a new style bagger (OMUC26917) for this machine.

The best equipped of the S series.

5/5

I bought the S240 to replace my 2004 L110. The S240 is the only S series tractor equipped with the Tuff Torq K36 heavier duty hydrostatic transmission. The 42” Accel deep deck with mulch kit mulches finer than the 42” Edge deck on the L110. I also bought the bagger for fall leaf bagging, I hope it woks as well as the L110 did. The S240 rides better, steers better and with the wider 20x10-8 tires has better traction. The Kawasaki 21.5 hp engine has the extra power to mulch grow the higher thicker grass with ease. I expect it will last as long or longer than the Koehler engine on the L110, which still does not burnt any oil between changes.

Upset! Bagger from my D130 won’t fit and not avai

5/5

I ordered this unit S240 in Aug. and took delivery first of Nov. Well in Illinois mowing season is over and I pushed it in the garage and left for winter south. Well, I’m home and it’s time to mow and I’m trying to install the grass bagger from my D130 to the S240 and it doesn’t fit. Come to find out other owners are upset also because the bagger is not available stating on back order and no available date known. If I knew this I would of went a different way. The bagger is very important to me. I did look up the bagger on the internet and it showed the bagger was available showing the Bagger would fit a D130 and S240. Well it doesn’t! The Deck is different, C on D130 and A on the new S240. Not very happy. I feel I should of been informed about this before I purchased this mower. I like the mower and it’s my 5th one from Sloan’s. I would recommend to friends but I would explain about the bagger if they used a bagger.

The best set of specs and features.

5/5

I be completed two cuts since having this delivered and find it to be a noticeable improvement over the 2004 L110 it replaced. The 42 inch deep deck with mulch kit cuts clippings much finer. The Kawasaki engine powers through the higher thicker grass in certain areas with ease. The ride with the larger tires and bigger seat is better and the tractor turns steers easier. This is the only S model to come with the heavier duty TuffTorq K46 transmission. I expect it to be as durable and easy to maintain as my L110 which has 970 hrs and still did not burn a drop of oil between changes and just needed new blade shaft bearings this year. I also purchased the bagger kit with it for fall leaf clean up.

Great value and build quality.

5/5

The past 3 mowers I’ve had do not compare to the S240. Started with an STX 38 purchased used and was a good machine but seemed just adequately powered. Second one was a Craftsman with a 24 HP intek that ran very well but didn’t have the cut quality that the S240 has and the last one was a freebie D 105 John Deere with the CVT transmission ( yuk. That trans has now been replaced in the equivalent this year I believe). The S240 has all the main features the 300 series has but on a lighter chassis As I only use it for cutting 1/2 acre and possibly some snow blowing this is a perfect fit without spending the extra for an X350. I love it. Bagger is being delivered tomorrow and I’m looking forward to the lawn care jobs again.

Confusion with model chage

3/5

My L110 which I had for years, died last August and I finished the season using a landscaper since there were no John Deere models available this late in the season. In November I purchased a new S240 from a local John Deere dealer and the confusion started. Seems John Deere modified or changed the S240 model so when I started ordering accessories, I would get those available which fitted the older model. Because of shortages or whatever, items for the new model are not available with the grass cutting season only a month away. For example, I wanted to order a bagger to collect grass cuttings but was told it's not available. My old L110 had a cover for the discharge opening to mulch the grass cuttings but the new improved S240 now has a kit one has to buy to mulch cuttings. Getting to feel sorry I tried to buy a better model instead of just going to a box store and getting a lower model that has been around for years. It appears that this model has many nice features and when I actually start cutting grass and getting things I need I'll be able to form a better opinion.

Decent, cheaper made than 15 yr old 100 series

2/5

I mow about an acre on hill side with locks of rocks and other obstacles. I have had my LA110 (42 inch cut) for almost 15 years and it has done the job just fine. The exception is the weak T40 trans that I change the fluid in every 100 hours was getting weak (mower has 500 hours on it). I wanted a twin engine this time and a better transmission but the K46 is about the only option unless you want to spend a couple thousand more. I figured the S240 would be the best option since it had the better deck, premium engine, bigger tires, and an extra year of warranty. Boy was I wrong. Got it home and I couldn't get it to fire up, the problem was the choke cable was getting stuck in the sleeve. Finally got it fired up and drove it around the yard to make sure I would have good traction on my hills which I did. Opening the hood showed how much cheaper it is made compared to my LA110. The hood is held on with plastic on plastic, no metal braces. If you open the S240 hood to hard or to far back it will break and I feared that it would not make it 15 years like my LA110 which has a metal bracket holding the hood on. The gas tank was also wobbly and moved around an inch or two. Found out it was on springs which is what makes the gas guage work. The 42 inch accel deck also does not fit very well on this 100 series frame. I could not get it to go up to the highest lever (4 inches) without it hitting the frame. The handle to raise it was also very clunky and would "drop" on you very fast once you got it past the 3 inch mark. Not near as smooth as my 15 year old JD. Used the 30 day promise and returned it. I picked up a X350 in its place and negotiated a discount since I was all set on getting a different brand. For a few hundred more I got a much better lawnmower. In my opinion if you were thinking of a S240 then I would skip it and just get the cheapest 100 series or move up to an X330 or x350.

2018 S240 Starts and runs perfect

4/5

My mower has nearly 200 hours in less than 3 years and I have only thrown the deck drive belt one time. A small stick slipped over the deck and disloged the belt. No biggie. I don't know what could be causing people to throw belts but it isn't just happening for no reason. I bought this mower to replace my 1998 LX255, which I still use lightly at our old farm place around the pond and sheds. The S240 cuts way better and quicker. Does not bog down at all. And my yard looks like a golf course. Love it. The seat is junk, I figured I was the only one. It tore the first month. And it is slow when your just running out to the wood shed for firewood. Fast enough for mowing though. And I agree, it drinks gas. It a solid machine for the money.

GREAT Lawn Mower for a couple of acres...

5/5

The reason I bought this mower is (every few years...sometimes a couple, sometimes quite a few) I have to purchase a new riding mower for different reasons due to the mower dying. I would always purchase a "better to best" of the rated mowers out there for general purchase, just short of the level of the Deere S240. I live on a little over two acres with a couple small sloping hills and occasionally soft lawn in spots depending on how wet the season is. A couple of times I would get stuck in the soft lawn or notice significant slowing going up the sloping hills. I've been mowing this lawn for 18 years so I know exactly what to expect. I came to the conclusion getting the cheapest riding mower as possible was the wisest way to go since the additional cost for a "best" mower was, while a nice luxury, simply not cost effective. Fast forward to last season. Riding mower number 5 dies. Looking to get one of the "better to best" from the big box stores, I was considering the JD 100 series because it had a slight discount but, due to Covid, they were unavailable. I mean EVERY nicer riding mower was unavailable! While researching I saw JD had a discount on the 200 series. My thought process was like most peoples. The discount was significant enough to make it worth paying a little more to move up in class. I had to order something as nothing was immediately available. But, was it worth the extra couple of hundred bucks? Why not take a chance and see what happens? I spoke with the local dealer on the differences between the 100 and 200 series. The description was the performance would be noticably better, probably not dramatic, and with simple maintenance will last a very long time. The discount and financing made it an appealing option so I went for it. Got it actualy a couple months quicker than I thought after I ordered it. How I wish I had this machine 18 years ago. Would I describe it as great? No. But it's very, very good at everything. But, that's how I decribed Wayne Gretzky. He was just very, very good at everything. Easy maintenance, easy to level the deck, able to handle soft turf, loses little power on slopes and easy to handle. The way the dealer described it was spot on. The perfect description. If you're one of those people that tends to get the little nicer riding mowers but stay just shy of the next level, don't make that mistake again. The cost may be 25% more but well, well worth it. You'll notice the difference on all the little stuff. If you have a nice, level lot then probably not neccessary to spend more on a mower but no matter what, you'll notice the difference in quality after a couple mows.

MCS is Unavailable

4/5

I purchased an S240 in March of 2021 and put about 30 hours on it this season. I find that it mows well and is relatively easy to use. Other reviewers have noted the poor location of the RIO switch, and that is a drawback. The RIO is a frustrating safety feature, and users should have the option to disable it. Shoppers considering the S240 should be aware that the compatible MCS (BUC10907) has been on backorder for eight months, with no signs of progress. Requests for information from JD are met with a perfunctory "contact your dealer" response. Had I been informed of this situation at the point of sale, I would not have purchased this model. To be clear, then, my four-star rating is for the tractor itself. I recognize that many companies have supply difficulties right now, but it's important that the consumer be made aware.

Great mower

5/5

I bought a new 2021 S240 at the start of grass season this year. This thing is a beast. I have about 30 hrs on it now & it has never missed a beat. Best mower on planet earth.

Drive Belt Came Off and Burned at Only 5 Hours

1/5

Bought this mower and after 3 grass cuttings the drive belt came off and got hot and burned. Also cannot raise deck to highest level without it binding and making a noise. Also, at full throttle mowing speed the mower vibrates bad. Also the motor makes a rumbling noise and burns a lot of gas and you can smell the gas. Dealer checked it out and put a new belt on it and refused to take the mower back.

Great Tractor

3/5

Great tractor that is hurt by the fact that you cant get a bagger for it. have had the mower since May, and no one has any clue when I will be able to get a bagger. Pretty irritating because living in the northeast and having lots of leaves that will need to be picked up, pretty much makes the mower useless. Would I recommend??? Yes if you can get the accessories you need when you purchase it.

Extremely disappointed!

1/5

We owned a x300 for 15 years and were very happy with it, so when it came time to buy another mower we purchased the S240 42" model mainly because we needed a new mower and that was all that was available at the dealer in a 42" cut. What a mistake! This mower not only does a poor job of cutting the lawn but it is also difficult to operate. The RIO switch location is poorly thought out and difficult to use. The forward foot control is at an awkward angle and you have to continually adjust your foot location. The Kawasaki engine is a gas hog using 50% more gas than our X300 Kawasaki engine. The mower does a poor job of distributing the cut grass. I tried to find replacement mulching blades in the hopes that would help, but to no avail. The blades have .8" center hole instead of the star design which limits the options available for replacement blades. I ask that the mower be set up properly prior to delivery telling the sales person the height that we normally mow at. He promised that it would be done. I wasn't home when the mower was delivered and when I checked it over it was clear that he had not done anything to set the mower up properly. The anti-scalp wheels were still set at the same location as they were on the show room floor and mower deck was not level. This is the last JD I'll ever buy and will regret purchasing it til the day I get rid of it!

Very satisfied!

5/5

I'm very pleased with my 2021 S240. I've used it several times with the bagging system on my 1/2 acre lawn; it cuts beautifully and seems very well built. My only complaint is that the right side bagger doesn't fully fill. Not a big issue as the left bag is quite large. Maybe I need to adjust the fill pipe somehow. Now I'm waiting to buy a mulch kit. I am quite pleased with the quality and value.

Adequate

3/5

S240 (42"). My first rider. Have used it for 3 years. Easy enough to maintain for the average owner with average mechanical abilities and standard tools. The bagger view window is not useable; I have to use a bungie to keep the bagger top open during bag dumping; the upper chute section has a handle that's handy for assembly/disassembly. Would be nice to have one on the lower chute section; the mowing deck lever is too easy to dislodge to a setting you didn't intend to use; the gas tank filler is hard to use height wise. I have had two factory assembly problems: 1. During the first 15 minutes, the mowing deck partially detached. The carter pin on the deck connecting bracket wasn't installed. 2. During my first blade sharpening process, I discovered that the mower deck drive belt was incorrectly installed (my picture attached). The JD rep said that he was amazed that the mower deck worked at all. Interesting ... When I was researching the correct installation I came across (internet) the very same problem that another customer had with the S240, picture and everything. So, someone(s) on the assembly line is not well trained and/or the quality control is poor. All in all, I'm satisfied. I guess I'm just used to inattention to detail in the business world.

Reputation Did Not Hold Up

2/5

I bought this lawnmower because of the John Deere Reputation "Nothing Runs Like a Deere". I have been disappointed. Tractor was purchased in 2015 and has 126 hours on it. Starting last year it began losing power going uphill. I thought it could be a drive belt slipping. I took it to the dealer where I purchased it. The first thing they said was the lawnmower was old. 6 years, 126 hours old? They replaced the belt. Service said if it is not the belt it is probably the transmission and it would be better to buy a new one. Well I was excited to try out the new belt. The mower completely stopped going uphill. I had to finish with a push mower. I was very disappointed. Also you do not have access to the transmission fluid on this model. I bought this particular model on the recommendation of the dealer.

Not as good as my old gt242

3/5

The s240 was bought as a replacement for my 30 year old gt 242. There is no comparison, the new one has more HP, is hydrostatic, but just feels cheap compared to the old one

Strong engine

5/5

I just bought a new 2021 S240 . I just cut some really high grass with it today. I was really impressed that the kawasaki engine never missed a beat. I think with all the upgrades on this mower you can't go wrong spending a little extra on this tractor over the one's at Lowe's & other big box stores. The only complaint i have is as with all riding mowers they never put a cup holder on the left side of mower for all of us southpaws. If you want a great mower at a decent price go to your local john Deere dealer & check one out.

Seat

2/5

John Deere should be ashamed of the quality of this seat. I have a 23 year old Lt 160 with the best quality seat ever no rips in it yet. I wish I could take it off and put on new tractor. There is no cushion to absorb even little bumps in your yard. The turn radius is very good

Dissapointed in performance

3/5

Bought a mid grade Deere mainly for the quality . I am very disappointed in the mowing and mainly the bagging during leaf season. The mower blows the leaves out of both sides of the deck and leaves a lot behind. The large rear tiires tear up my lawn leaving muddy marks when making sharp turns. In two months the yellow foam seat is ripped in three places and i did not ppuncture or have sharp ob jects in my pocket. While i bought the s240 for the Better Kawasaki engine i am really not impressed ! My neighbor has a cheaper Ariens and his lawn looks like it was vacuumed during leaf season ! Going to get a Toro Zerp tirn next spring!

Pros

  • good engine

Cons

  • poor cut and bagging

Buy the home depot model instead

3/5

Purchased s240 to replace l155 ftom home depot. S240 lacked power, height and straight cut of the older JD. As some others have said, seat rips after only several sittings. Cut of blades with 42 " mow deck is uneven. As other said it may be because of lack of enough mower deck wheels. Mulch capability works well on the mower. Cost more. So save your money.. Don't see the reason to buy another s240 over the big box. Kawasaki engine holds up well as the B&S motors. Just take care of both.

Pros

  • john deere
  • starts immediately

Cons

  • not work cost over big box john deere
  • seat rips easily just by sitting on it

Mows very well. Relativally quiet for a v-twin engine

5/5

I can't wait till the grass has grown some more. I get to use my John Deere. Easy to use. Easy to maintain. Just did the first 8 hours maintenance. Blades stay sharp. Primarily use it in mulch mode. The leaf bagger works like a dream and is easy to dump and continue. First time putting the bagger on is tricky, but 2nd time on piece of cake. Will be buying the aerator soon.

Pros

  • reliable
  • quieter than most
  • mows a flat lawn. no tracks.

Cons

  • eject chute for grass is in the way.
  • seat sensor is too senstitve.

Cuts OK on flat straight terrain

2/5

Bought the S240 new this spring and used it all summer. Cutting on flat straight terrain it's fine. Cutting while cornering or on a slight slope creates uneven cuts and in some cases long divots if you turn the wheel too much. Previously I had an LX172 and in retrospect I should have kept it. I now use my push mower every other cut. The seat has NO shock absorption. The dealer gave me springs but I wasn't able to install them. The hydrostatic tranny has limited power. I need a running start to get up my shed's ramp. It's not steep. The gas tank is way too small. The S240 does provide a comfortable ride.

Pros

  • comfortable ride

Cons

  • uneven cut on slight slopes and corners.

I think I got a lemon

1/5

THIS IS MY FIRST JOHN DEERE AND I BOUGHT IT BASED ON THEIR REPUTATION FOR QUALITY. MY MACHINE HAS LESS THAN 88 HOURS ON IT NOW AND IS THREE YEARS OLD. I KEEP IT GARAGED AND SERVICED, AND EVERYTHING WAS GREAT UNTIL ONE DAY THE ENGINE DECIDED TO QUIT CRANKING. GOOD THING I STILL HAD TWO WEEKS OF WARRANTY LEFT AND THE DEALER REPLACED A RELAY FOR FREE. I THINK THE MACHINE HAD ABOUT 72 HOURS ON IT AT THAT TIME. A FEW HOURS OF RUN TIME LATER I HAD TO GO BACK FOR A 2ND RELAY REPLACEMENT. A FEW MORE HOURS OF RUN TIME AND I HAD TO GO BACK FOR A NEW IGNITION SWITCH. THE NEXT TIME BACK THEY FOUND A LOOSE WIRE CONNECTION THAT GOT THE MACHINE TO START AGAIN LONG ENOUGH TO CUT MY GRASS ONCE, BEFORE IT DIED, AND NOW WILL NOT CRANK. I HAVE DRIVEN OVER 450 MILES BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER SO FAR FOR REPAIRS, AND WILL HAVE TO HEAD BACK NOW AGAIN. i AM NOT A MECHANIC, BUT OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE NOT GETTING TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. THE GOOD THING IS SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT CHARGED ME FOR THE REPAIRS EVEN THOUGH MY WARRANTY HAS NOW EXPIRED. THE BAD THING IS I HAVE TO KEEP DRIVING BACK AND FORTH AFTER FINDING HELP TO PUSH THE MACHINE FROM WHEREVER IT DECIDES TO QUIT UP ONTO MY TRAILER WHICH IS A REAL HASSLE. I BOUGHT THIS MACHINE EXPECTING MUCH BETTER QUALITY, BUT HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED.

Pros

  • it looks nice

Cons

  • it keeps breaking down
