John Deere S100 Series Lawn Tractors | Blanchard Equipment

Blanchard Equipment carries the full John Deere S100 Series lawn tractor lineup for sale at our locations across Georgia and South Carolina. The S100 Series is John Deere's entry-level riding tractor line, built for homeowners with lawns from a half acre up to 2 acres who want reliable, easy-to-use equipment without the complexity of a higher-end machine. Seven models cover a range of engine sizes and deck widths, so whether you have a modest suburban yard or a larger rural property, there's an S100 Series model in stock at Blanchard Equipment near you.

John Deere S100

The S100 is the entry point in the 100 Series, designed for homeowners with smaller properties up to about a half acre. It runs a 17.5 HP single-cylinder engine with a 42-inch deck and manual PTO engagement. The side-by-side pedal design makes it easy to operate, and the 2-year/120-hour bumper-to-bumper warranty covers the machine from day one. If you want a simple, dependable mower for a straightforward lawn, the S100 delivers that without extra complexity.

John Deere S120

The S120 adds electric PTO engagement and an easy-read fuel gauge compared to the S100, which are the two upgrades that make the biggest practical difference in day-to-day use. Electric PTO means you engage the blades from the seat without dealing with a manual engagement lever, and the fuel gauge means you're not guessing how much mowing time you have left. The S120 runs a 17.5 HP twin-cylinder engine with a 42-inch deck and carries the same 2-year/120-hour warranty.

The S130 steps up to 21 HP and adds the John Deere Easy Change 30-second oil change system. The Easy Change system combines the oil and filter into a single cartridge that twists off and locks back on in under a minute, eliminating the mess and drain process of a conventional oil change. It's the kind of feature that makes a real difference if you're maintaining the mower yourself. The S130 keeps the 42-inch deck and electric PTO from the S120.

The S140 is where the 100 Series adds a hydrostatic transmission with side-by-side foot pedals, replacing the manual gear system on the lower models. Side-by-side pedals give you automotive-style speed and direction control, so changing pace and reversing feel more natural than operating a shift lever. The S140 also upgrades to a 48-inch Edge deck and a 22 HP V-twin engine. For homeowners with properties up to 2 acres or anyone who wants a smoother, more intuitive operating experience, the S140 is the recommended step in the 100 Series.

John Deere S160

The S160 keeps the 48-inch Edge deck and hydrostatic transmission from the S140 and adds 2 more horsepower for a total of 24 HP. That additional power is most noticeable in heavier cutting conditions, thick growth, and when using attachments that put load on the drivetrain. If you're on the border between the S140 and S160 on property size or grass density, the S160 gives you a margin of reserve power that makes the mowing experience feel less stressful.

John Deere S170

The S170 shares the 24 HP engine and 48-inch deck with the S160 but adds a premium Cut-and-Sew seat and the Easy Change 30-second oil change system. The upgraded seat makes a meaningful difference on longer mowing sessions, particularly if you're covering more than an acre in a single run. If you're at the top of the 100 Series budget range and spend significant time on the mower, the S170's comfort upgrades are worth the step up from the S160.

John Deere S180

The S180 is the top model in the 100 Series, adding a 54-inch Edge deck to the 24 HP engine and hydrostatic transmission. The wider deck covers more ground per pass, which reduces total mowing time on properties at the larger end of the 100 Series range. If your lawn is closer to 2 acres and mowing time matters, the S180's extra 6 inches of cutting width makes a practical difference in how long the job takes. The Easy Change oil system and premium seat are also included at this level.
