My E120 is on its 3erd season 65 hrs and is just like new. No problems. I keep a trickle charger on the battery all year long(battery tender Jr.), so it fires up on the first try, every time. You're right, about regular oil changes(every season for me), keep it greased, clean and it will last a very long time.
Great review. Love to hear real people using them as expected. I’m in south GA, buying a used one with 25 hours on it. Let me know how this is running!
Don't believe everything you here about these machines being junk, they are not junk. Mine is a 2011 D130 and it just turned over 400 Hours and though I do more maintenance than the average homeowner it still works just the same as when I first bought it. I retired from small engine work so I have a tendency to look after my machines but this just shows that these units can outlast any brand on the market.
My la125 is 13 years old runs great and I bought a e130 2 years ago no issues dont let people tell u Briggs is junk thats all I ever owned was Briggs never had issues I just sold them to get new after having them for so long just wanted something new lol
That's how I feel about my Troy Bilt push mower. I'd like to get a new one but I keep waiting for it to finally give out but it just keeps running. It has a Brigg's on it.
@@remc576 one more thing if u use 5w30 synthetic which briggs recommend me to use it won't burn any oil 10w30 oil in hot weather it uses it for a fiew bucks u can get rid of the quick change crap thats what I did I can use castrol edge and a premium oil filter for less then what the quick change oil filter just because it's a cheaper tractor the one I sold is 14 years old now its still going strong and its a single single cylinder
I have a 2022 s 130 heat from engine burns holes in grass every time I stop to turn or stop to take a 2 minute break called jd they told me not to stop on grass 😮but to drive to the side walk or drive way they said never stop on grass heat from engine is burning your grass!
I got mine from Lowes, but it was still in the crate and had to wait til a guy from John Deere to come and put them together. Was told that John Deere don't let anyone touch their equipment
Well that's good to hear. I was walking into Lowe's 4-6 weeks ago and it was raining outside and as I am walking up to the door I see all the mowers and what not and one of the craftsman push mowers gas cap was completely missing. Mentioned it to someone inside and he just kinda laughed and said that he had seen it to. Whoever buys that one is not going to be a happy customer lol. Luckily I have not had any problems with mine and hopefully don't anytime soon. Enjoy your new mower
Yes I have had my E130 for 4 years and I have had no problems with mine ,I got over 200 hours on it right now,A great mower
That's awesome.

I agree. Maintenance plays a big part on any machine. So far this mower has been great.

Wow. I have not had that problem with any mower I have ever used. That's crazy. Something is definitely not right if you are having that issue.
