I bought one in 2015, very good mower. I bent the deck on mine a couple weeks ago but after watching several UA-cam videos, I was able to successfully beat the deck back into shape. It cuts perfectly even now. When it comes to oil filters, buy only Kawasaki or John Deere filters. Do not use a Wix filter, they don’t tighten up all the way and you will loose half your oil before you can turn the key off. I experienced this twice, didn’t learn my lesson first time.
The S240 is a 300 built on a 100 frame. You get a 300 front axle, a Kawasaki V twin, a 300 trans axle counter balanced deck lift system and better seat.
I'm lookin to hopefully get one of these in early spring. I mow a few yards for out of town vacation house owners and I'm wanting a mower with a superb cut and built well enough to last a few years. I only mow about 2 acres every two weeks,but my old cub cadet just isnt doing a good enough job. Glad to hear you're enjoying yours
@@drbcrb thanks,glad to hear you're enjoying it. Too often with my cub cadet I'll have to double cut to make it look good. That routine is getting old,especially when I've got other things to do. One of the guys I mow for has an older john deere and even it has a much better cut than my cub. He just doesnt wanna have to drive in every 2 weeks to keep the property up. I've worked out a good price for him and his neighbors who use their properties for atv vacation getaways so I get some side money and they can just enjoy themselves.
If I remember right I just used a wire between the connector. It was a simple process. Just find the switch underneath and trace the wires back to the connector.

Got this in 48 with bagger. The bagger has been all sorts of issues but this thing cuts like a dream
I have a X350 as soon as we unloaded it off the trailer from the dealership, I jumped the reverse switch and the seat sensor.
2 years wow still looks new! It's always nice when folks takes care of their equipment 💯
Absolutely I take a lot of pride in my machines. Treat them well and they will return the same.
Was it hard to jumper that ? I would prob do the same
Super easy to jumper out the switch. I just used a piece of wire and electrical tape.
@@Z71usa can you outline the process or make a how to?
How much did you pay for it???
If I remember correctly is was right around $2800 in 2019

I would highly recommend this model with the Kawasaki engine.
I bought one in July 2022 and love it so far. No problems thus far.
@@drbcrb nice. I’ll be doing my first oil change this year.

How did you jumper the reverse lockout?
If I remember right I just used a wire between the connector. It was a simple process. Just find the switch underneath and trace the wires back to the connector.
