John Deere D100
The John Deere D100 is the smallest ride on lawnmower in the 100 series of lawn mowers (produced in 2011). Bigger models include the John Deere D110 and the John Deere D120 lawn mowers. Most people consider this to be the entry level model ride on lawn mower from John Deere due to it’s size and cost. The engine powering the JD D100 is a Briggs and Stratton 31 engine. This one cylinder, natural aspiration engine has a displacement of 0.5 liters and produces 17.5 hp. The engine is air cooled and uses a cartridge air cleaner that can be quickly changed and replaced. The engine has an oil capacity of 1.4 liters. Power is transferred to the wheels via a Dana 4360 transmission. This gives the garden tractor 5 speeds when traveling forwards and 1 in reverse. The maximum speed it can reach is 5 mph (8 kph).
The engine on the John Deere D100 is started via a 12 volt battery that is charged by a 9 amp alternator. The maximum capacity of the fuel tank comes to 9.1 liters (2.4 US gallons) of gasoline. The mower deck on the JD D100 is 42 inches wide and has 13 different cutting heights, each of which is 0.25 inches bigger or smaller than the last. The great thing about this lawn mower is that it features the CargO Mount system which allows for the quick attachment and detachment of many different pieces of equipment from blades to baggers to snow blowers.
The weight of the John Deere D100 ride on lawnmower is 200 kg (440 lbs). It has a wheelbase of 1.24 m (49 inches) and a total length of 1.74 m (69 inches). With the mower attached the width of the machine comes to 1.31 m (52 inches). However, it’s obviously much less wide without a mower deck. If you are a homeowner that is looking for a small John Deere sit on lawnmower, then this is the machine for you.

Have had the D100 for 5 years and it has been a Hoss. I even missed the ramp backing off of an F150. After a quick recovery, the mower cranked right up and cut fine (no damage). Seems kinda fast in a residential yard but now I have 4 acres and it seems a little slow. Although it isn’t designed to cut 4 acres, I have done this once a week for the last 3 months and haven’t had any issues. I just purchased a Deere Z255 but I will defintely keep the D100. It has exceeded my expectations and I am extremely rough on my equipment. However, I do keep the maintenance up including touch up paint when I scrub something. I would recommend this mower to anyone.
Wished I did better home work.
Piss poor. Worst I’ve ever owned.
easy to use, does exactly what it is designed to do. mow grass.
Cuts fast and quiet…Broke down after 10 hours…Complain to lowes, they decided to pick my D100 and replaced it with a brand new D100. I called JonnDeere and was terribly disapointed. They do not seem to care…Thank God I purchased it at Lowes.
not happy with this one at all,
Extremely poor due to factory set-up misalignment of Deck and Blades. This tractor should have worked from the get go. I am not happy with receiving a tractor with factory quality set-up issues and JD not willing to come to my home to fix their problem without me playing for an up charge for the visit first.
Recommendation: buy Husqvarna, it costs less and mechanically superior.
Wish now I had purchased the Husqvarna YTH2042 – my neighbor purchased one a few weeks before me and it has worked from the get go without having to make any start-up adjustments.
Final comment…John Deere service unprofessional and stinks… product support not to be trusted. This is not the company that I remember 20 – years ago with a solid back-up reputation.
Just 11 hours to date but I expect it will last a long time. I have owned other John Deere equipment but never a lawn mower.
A great mower that I would recommend to others.
