S100 introduction

The right size of riding mower for most yards

The S100 sits at the start of the 100 Series and is built for lawns from a quarter acre up to about an acre. Its 17.5 hp single-cylinder engine drives a 42-in. Edge™ deck that clears thick spring growth in a single pass, and the Kanzaki® Tuff Torq® hydrostatic transaxle gives an infinite range of ground speed with nothing to shift — you press forward, you press reverse, and the machine keeps pulling through both.

Everything an owner touches every week was kept simple: a single lever for choke and throttle, a mechanical fuel gauge you can read from the seat, an oil drain that needs no tools, and a spring-assisted lever to set cut height without leaving the seat. Two standard LED headlights and an hour meter cover early evenings and service intervals.

As your dealer we do the setup work before you see it: assembly, deck leveling, a 22-point pre-delivery inspection, battery charge and a fuel-up. Warranty service stays with us, so if something needs attention you call one number.

Product details

S100 lawn tractor fitted with a front snow blade and cab enclosure in winter
01

Handles more than mowing

The 100 Series frame accepts a range of tested attachments — a bagger for clippings and leaves, a utility cart for mulch and soil, a snow blower and weather enclosure for winter. One machine covers the calendar rather than one season.

Room to work, controls in reach

A full-size operator platform with a wide anti-vibration footrest and debris channels keeps long passes comfortable. The spring-assisted hand-grip lever raises and lowers the deck without leaving the seat.

03

Seamless speed and direction

A Kanzaki® Tuff Torq® hydrostatic transaxle gives an infinite range of ground speeds with no shifting. Side-by-side foot pedals put forward and reverse under the same foot, so direction changes stay smooth on slopes and around beds.

Buying the S100

Delivery, warranty and financing

Is the tractor ready to mow when it arrives?

Yes. We assemble, level the deck, charge the battery and run a pre-delivery inspection before it leaves our shop. You mow the day you take delivery.

How does delivery work?

Free delivery within 50 miles of our shop, typically 2-4 business days after checkout. Beyond that we quote freight at checkout, or you can pick it up on a trailer any weekday.

What does the warranty cover?

A 2-year or 120-hour bumper-to-bumper warranty, whichever comes first. We handle warranty service in-house, so you do not ship anything anywhere.

Can I finance it?

Yes — 0% for 12 months on approved credit, or longer terms at standard rates. Choose financing at checkout and you get a decision in a few minutes.
