The John Deere S100 is the entry point into the S100 Series lawn tractor line — a simple, reliable machine for homeowners who want a comfortable ride and a clean cut without paying for features they won't use. A 17.5 HP engine and a smooth hydrostatic transmission make it easy to operate right out of the box, with side-by-side foot pedals controlling speed and direction.
