This top-tier S-Series tractor delivers professional-grade cut quality, smoother operation, and long-term durability backed by John Deere’s engineering excellence.
24 HP V-Twin ELS Engine: The Extended Life Series (ELS) V-twin gas engine delivers 24 HP (17.9 kW) with features designed for maximum longevity:
- Cast-iron cylinder liners — reduce bore wear and extend engine life
- Overhead valves (OHV) — improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions
- Full-pressure lubrication with oil filter — keeps critical components protected and extends oil change intervals
- Electronic ignition — provides reliable, consistent starting in all conditions
- The ELS designation means this engine is built to a higher durability standard for homeowners who want years of dependable service
48-Inch Edge Mower Deck: The heavy-duty 48-inch three-spindle deck is built from 12-gauge steel and finished with a dual-stage E-coat plus powder paint system for exceptional corrosion resistance — meaning it will look good and perform well for years. The 3-in-1 blades allow tool-free transitions between:
- Side Discharge — for fast, efficient mowing
- Mulching — recycles clippings into natural lawn fertilizer
- Bagging — clean collection with an optional bagger system
Easy Change 30-Second Oil System: John Deere’s exclusive tool-free oil change system lets you drain oil quickly and cleanly by simply attaching a hose and turning a valve. No tools, no drips, no crawling underneath — annual maintenance takes just 30 seconds.
Kanzaki Tuff Torq TLT200 Hydrostatic Transmission: This proven hydrostatic transmission delivers smooth, infinite ground speed control using intuitive side-by-side foot pedals. The TLT200 is built for responsive performance and long-term reliability, letting you vary speed seamlessly from slow trimming to faster open-area mowing.
Premium Comfort & Convenience: The open operator station provides excellent sightlines to the deck and surroundings. The ergonomic high-back seat, easy-reach controls, and smooth hydrostatic drive reduce fatigue during extended mowing sessions. The automatic parking brake engages for safety whenever you stop.
Accessory Ready: Fully compatible with the John Deere home-owner accessory ecosystem including mulching kits, bagger systems, tow-behind carts, aerators, dethatchers, spreaders, and lawn sweepers.
