The 30 Second Oil Change…New with John Deere 100 Series Lawn Tractors
You read that right! John Deere has released a whole new 100 Series Lawn Tractor lineup with a variety of new groundbreaking features. With the release of the new 100 Series, many of the models will now feature the industry’s first and only 30 second oil change. The 9 new “E” models will replace the “D” Series at the same entry-level price point while offering a variety of new features with a focus on customer experience, comfort and easy maintenance. The perfect riding mower for new buyers and small lot homeowners, the 100 Series is built to mow 1/3 an acre up to two acres, with mower deck sizes ranging from 42-in. to 54-in. with the horsepower to match.
Updates
The new 100 Series Lawn Tractor is the most comfortable tractor in its class all built right here in the USA in Greenville, Tennessee. They feature a new ergonomic operator station design and two side-by-side forward/reverse pedals to make operating a breeze, especially when backing up. The side-by-side pedals provide excellent control of speed and direction. They’ve also improved the visibility on the dashboard and made the controls easier to see and identify. The redesigned deck lift lever gives the operator ergonomic leverage and makes it quick to change the cut height on the go. The steering wheel and seat have also been repositioned to improve comfort.
Lastly, the ReadyStart® System allows operators to start the machine without needing to choke the engine, unless air temperatures are near or below freezing. ReadyStart is available on the following 100 Series Models: E120, E130, E150, E160, E170 and E180.
Easy Change Models
The Easy Change Models include the E120, E130, E150, E160, E170 and E180 models. In addition to all of the other changes to the 100 Series, these lawn mowers will use the Easy Change™ 30-Second Oil Change System. The 30 second oil change is an exciting new innovation patented by Deere.
How It Works?
Deere has changed the oil change. Oil changes are now cleaner, quicker and easier. The oil and the oil filter are all-in-one. Simply, lift the hood, align the arrow on the Easy Change Canister with the notch on the engine, twist and it’s locked in. The canister even has a place to write the date of your last oil change. You don’t have to drain the old oil from the engine, changing the filter removes all of the contaminants and the new filter comes filled with the recommended oil. The Easy Change system replaces .8 quart of oil. The remaining oil in the engine is refreshed by the charge of new oil included in the replacement Easy Change system. Combined with 40% more engine oil capacity, improved filtration and cooler running temperatures which help extend oil life, it is no longer necessary to remove and dispose of all the oil in your engine during service. The Easy Change canister should be changed every 50 hours or once a year.
Durability
All of the new 100 Series Lawn Tractors are backed by John Deere’s name and durability. They feature a new superior performance battery and cast-iron front axle. The E160, E170 and E180 models also feature an Extended Life Series Engine Package giving them a 50% longer life.
Comfortable, easy-to-use and easy to maintain are some ways we might describe the new 100 Series E Lawn Tractors.
