John Deere S120 22HP 42" Ride-on Mower

The 100 Series Ride-on Mowers combine strength and reliability with yard-friendly simplicity, comfort and control. With a choice of models and a wide range of features and options to choose from, the 100 Series has something for everyone. These robust ride-on mowers are engineered for years of trouble-free service and combine superb cut quality with outstanding ease of use.

The John Deere S120 ride-on mower is the upper tier 42-inch deck model of the 100 Series line up. The ride is comfortable. S120 features a hydrostatic transmission, side-by-side foot pedals, enhanced styling, adjustable controls and 15-in open back seat. The 42-inch Edge™ Cutting System is time-tested and proven to offer superior cut quality and can be easily equipped to bag or mulch. And the John Deere Branded single cylinder engine is 22 HP - plenty of power for up to one acre.

Powerful V-twin engine features full-pressure lubrication for dependability and long life

• A 16kW (22-hp) V-twin engine has plenty of power and torque to handle tough mowing, mulching, and bagging:
• V-twin cylinder design for greater torque, lower vibration, and improved sound quality
• Overhead valves for excellent power and fuel economy
• Full-pressure lubrication and oil filter for cleaner oil, prolonging engine life and extending the time between oil changes

John Deere Easy Change™ 30-second oil change system\

• The John Deere Easy Change 30-second oil change system makes changing the engine oil easy, quick, and clean. Changing the oil is as easy as twisting on a new oil-filled filter. Oil does not need to be drained from the engine.
• Everyone who uses the John Deere Easy Change system saves time and avoids the mess of a traditional oil change. In the past, many 100 Series Lawn Tractor owners rarely or never got around to changing their engine oil. With the 30-second oil change, even people who previously would not consider changing the oil themselves can easily do it. The Easy Change system is a no-mess, no-fuss solution the competition cannot match.

Frame made of full-length welded steel for reliability

• The solid one-piece frame is constructed of 12-gauge, 2.66-mm (0.105-in.) steel:
• Full-length, robotically welded frame design has high-strength steel rails for added strength and long life.
• One-piece, steel fender deck is bolted to the frame.
• Cast-iron front axle will not bend
• The front bumper is included on the S130 and S140. It is available as an optional attachment for the S100, S110, and S120.
• The CargO Mount system is a combination of front- and rear-mounting points providing convenient and easy installation of the sun canopy, rear bagger, and other attachments.

Hydrostatic transmission gives an infinite choice of ground speeds

• A Tuff Torq® hydrostatic transmission gives an infinite choice of speeds and makes changing the direction of travel easy. Side-by-side foot pedals control the speed and direction of travel.
• Automotive-type accelerator controls ensure easy operation.
