Broken belt on first cut.
After researching for many months; I finally decided to get the John Deere S120. I had it delivered to my house and everything was great with the delivery from Home Depot. I only have a half acre but on my very first mow - the S120 didn't even make it half way through before the belt broke. I'm very disappointed - to say the least - with the belts that John Deere are using. I had read another such story but took the chance anyway. Hopefully the next belt will last longer.

Could have been better
I paid 2245.00 cash for this tractor. The three front grease fittings thats veey visible was greased. The deck spindles were NOT greased. Thats where its really needed. The steering has a lot of play in it. The reverse while mowing button needs to be re thought to be like my 2 cub cadet xt1's. You turn the key and hold in a switch one time. Thats how it should be. I like the mower but i absolutely hate the 30 second oil change mess. As a former Harley Davidson mechanic i can honestly say the engineering dept at jd must have studied at the three stooges university. I wish i would have bought the s100. Again i say i do like the mower and i love the over size tires on the rear... but jd needs to rethink a lot of this particular unit.

Bad shoulder, no problem
Switched from push to riding this year after my shoulder surgery. Never used a rider before and was able to learn on my own and use within the first hour of it delivered. Very easy to learn. Highly recommend if you have 1 acre or less and want to mow in 20 minutes. I look forward to getting the attachments to help my lawn be great. Good job John Deere and Home Depot.

I'm not paid by John Deere or Home Depot
Since the pandemic, It has become impossible to find anyone to mow my property for what I could afford anymore on a fixed income so I invested in this lawn tractor.
It was delivered ahead of schedule to my home in perfect condition. It was perfectly set up right off the truck with a 1/4 tank of gas and battery charged. I can say this because I spent two days reading the instructions and checking all the boxes. Kudos to Home Depot for the professional set up and delivery.
With a historic amount of leaves and acorns on the ground and weeds already knee high on my hilly and tree covered property, this tractor made quick work out of it. I cut the first time at 3-1/4" and then followed up the next day at 2-1/2". The power was above expectation and the ease of operation made my life much easier than I expected. I now own the JD 750# utility cart and 175# spreader both of which perform beautifully.

John Deere S120 Lawn Tractor.
Plenty of horse power and turn radius is very good. Easy to adjust cutting height but the backup safety feature is a bit cumbersome.
