CAUTION: Children or bystanders may be injured by rotating blades. Before traveling forward or rearward:

  • Carefully check the area around the machine.
  • Disengage the mower before backing up.

 

NOTE: Backing up while the mower is engaged is strongly discouraged. RIO should be used only when operating another attachment or when the operator deems it necessary to reposition the machine with the mower engaged.

 

  1. Stop forward travel.
  2. Look behind the machine to be sure there are no bystanders.
  3. Push and hold in the RIO switch while depressing the reverse pedal slightly for a hydrostatic transmission or moving the transmission shift lever to the rear slot (reverse) for a continuously variable transmission (CVT)/automatic transmission.

 

NOTE: If the engine and mower or other attachment stops while repositioning the machine, return the attachment engagement lever/switch to the off position. Start the engine and engage mower or other attachment. Begin again with step 2.

 

  1. Release the RIO switch and reposition the machine as the machine begins to move rearward.
  2. Resume forward travel. The mower or other attachment should continue operating.
  3. Repeat procedure to position the machine again.

John Deere s140 bolts

Purchased this mower 2021 summer. Nice to look at but the bolts shear off after several mowing, destroying the bolts and belt which is costly to repair and leaves you with out a mower weeks at a time! Third time for it to be repaired.

Strong mower

I bought this John Deere S-140 mower at the start of mowing season 2022. My satisfaction is tempered by the 20 inch tires. Coming off of a 2014 TroyBilt Super Bronco XP 50 that had the larger wheels, I find more difficulty in getting across above ground tree roots and rough terrain. I also dislike the left handed lift for the deck. The spring assist isn't as much help as I needed with my arthritic shoulder so I added 2 rubber straps to help out. It's a Lawn Mower not a garden tractor and does a fine job mowing with plenty of power.

Reliable Well Past Warranty

I've used this mower for my rough and hilly 3 acres for 6 yrs. Other than seasonal maintenance, the plastic steering bushings and recently, the spindle bearings are all that have been replaced. The motor doesn't smoke or use oil after 480 hrs. I keep it under a lawn mower port; the tires and seat still look good. It uses a gallon per hour of mowing. The mower belt needs replacing annually, (60 hrs) and the drive belt semiannually. At 5 years the John Deere dealership replaced the steering bushings. They said that was timely as other problems may have developed if I had waited. This year 2 mower belts came apart. Discovered the spindles were worn out which allowed the belt to rub against the mower platform supports. I could run it for years more but 3 acres deserves a John Deere zero turn.

Lost power

I used to be able to mow the incline on my front lawn the first year. Second year it could no longer had the power to go up the hill. I find it totally annoying that the John Deere operators manual does not have the words, muffler or exhaust. Would have been nice had John Deere chose to put a link for the manual along with description of the product.

New tractor just over a week old. Pretty much like everything about it with the exception of the mulch kit. Impossible to install! Must not be holding my tongue, or don't know the right curse words. Gotta be a trick to it, please share!

Does not run like a Deer

I got this mower last year. Deck belt came off 3 times. Now it's broken. Mower has good power just will not cut grass well. Little tires lose traction and spin tearing up the yard on hills.
