John Deere E120 Riding Mower Review

John Deere E120 Riding Mower Review

[proscons]

John Deere is one of the most renowned lawn care brands on the market. Therefore, we were not surprised when one of their departments made it to our final list. This model is slightly more expensive but has a gasless start system and, most importantly, a 30-second oil change system. Both features are great for business users.

The John Deere is an affordable and reliable lawn tractor with a durable cast-iron front axle and 20 hp for mowing, mulching, and cleaning in any terrain. The high-back seat can be adjusted in 10 positions for your comfort, and the bridge can be easily adjusted from 1 to 4 inches for a personalized fit. Also, there are many compatible accessories such as mulching kits, packers, trolleys, and snow blowers to help you with other garden projects.

Along with these features, John Deere owners love cruise control, tight turning radius, and separate accelerator pedals for forward and reverse. The Home Depot buyer notes the advantages of the E120 over the E100 and E110: “The E120 has a more spacious and comfortable seat with higher backrest” and “a quieter and more powerful V-shaped engine.” Although it costs a little more than other models, its performance can be worth it.

Other notable features include an adjustable seat back and access to many different attachments, some of which (like snow throwers and carts) few other mowers are available for. In terms of flexibility, this might be the best option on our list.

What’s New in John Deere Lawn Equipment?

We’re thrilled with John Deere’s exclusive Easy Change ™ 30 Second Oil Change System. Exclusive to John Deere and only available on select models of the new 100 Series garden tractors. These tractors are easy to use both to operate and maintain.

What is this new oil change system?

Change the oil. The versatile oil and oil filter system allows the owner to change part of the oil and filter in less than 30 seconds.

What happens to the rest of the engine oil when the Easy Change system is replaced?

The Easy Change system replaces 0.8 liters of oil. The remaining oil in the engine is replaced with new oil contained in the Easy Change System. Combined with a 40% increase in engine oil capacity, improved filtration, and lower operating temperatures that extend oil life, it is no longer necessary to remove and dispose of all engine oil during operation.

What is the difference between Easy Change and other filters?

It’s not just a filter. It is a newly developed technological system with which the new “filter” can already be filled with oil and with which you can remove the existing filter and dirt without tools and soil. Also, this is made possible thanks to technologies installed in the bus and on your motorcycle to the filter.

Models with Easy Change oil system use a fully synthetic filter that better captures and retains dirt. The large surface of the Easy Change canister acts as a coolant and keeps the oil cool.
