John Deere E100 Series Lawn Tractor Guide

April 19, 2021

The 100 Series is easy to maintain and operate, comfortable and a step up in ergonomic design. The E Series includes E100, E110, E120, E130, E140, E150, E160, E170 and E180 lawn tractor models.

The John Deere E100 Series Lawn Tractor line includes the E100, E110, E120, E130, E140, E150, E160, E170 and E180 models. The 100 Series is an easy, intuitive and comfortable lawn tractor at an affordable price. The E-Series is the John Deere 100 Series lineup for model years 2018 through 2020. In 2021 John Deere released the S-Series models.

The 100 Series Lawn Tractor has received very positive feedback from consumers across the board for its smooth handling and easy-to-maintain design.

As a first of its kind, the 100 E Series Lawn Tractor offers John Deere Easy Change for E120, E130, E150, E160, E170 and E180 Lawn Tractor models. Easy Change is a 30 Second Oil Change System that makes changing oil simple, clean and fast. There is no mess and no fuss — anyone can change the oil in under 30 seconds.

The lawn tractor uses 40% more oil than comparable models, which greatly benefits the engine and performance. More oil helps the engine run cooler for longer, and it reduces the number of oil changes (oil changes are recommended every 50 hours or once per season).

Everything on the lawn tractor has been redesigned for greater comfort. The controls are now easier to see and identify. The side-by-side forward and reverse pedals make mowing much easier, which is not found on most lawn tractors in the 100 Series price range.

Several small, but noticeable ergonomic design changes have been made to the tractor. The seat has been moved down a little, and the wider footrests up, to put the steering wheel in a more comfortable position. The deck lift lever is now easier to use. The dashboard has improved visibility, and the controls are now easier to reach.

Three models offer the Extended Life Series package — the E160, E170 and E180, which give the lawn tractor 50% longer life.
