John Deere S170 Lawn Tractor – 48″ Edge Deck, 24 HP V-Twin, Deluxe 14″ Steering Wheel, Hydrostatic Mower for 1–2 Acre Lawns

The John Deere S170 is the top comfort-focused premium model in the 100 Series lineup, combining the proven 24 HP V-twin power and 48-inch Edge cutting deck with upgraded comfort features that make mowing more enjoyable. Designed for homeowners with 1 to 2 acres, it delivers the same reliable performance as the S160 with added creature comforts.

24 HP V-Twin Engine: The V-twin gas engine delivers 24 HP (17.9 kW) with features built for longevity — cast-iron cylinder liners, overhead valves for efficiency, full-pressure lubrication protecting internal components, and electronic ignition for consistent starts. The twin-cylinder design provides smooth, low-vibration operation with strong torque through thick grass.

Deluxe Upgrades Over S160: The S170 adds premium touches that elevate the mowing experience:

• Deluxe 14-inch Steering Wheel — larger diameter for better leverage and more comfortable steering feel compared to standard wheels
• Upgraded Gauges — enhanced instrument cluster for better visibility of fuel level, speed, and system status
• Enhanced Styling — refined body lines and trim for a more premium appearance

48-Inch Edge Mower Deck: The heavy-duty three-spindle deck is built from 12-gauge stamped steel with a dual-stage E-coat and powder paint finish for corrosion resistance. The 3-in-1 blades enable tool-free transitions between:

• Side Discharge — fast mowing for open areas
• Mulching — recycles nutrients back into the lawn
• Bagging — clean collection with optional bagger system

Easy Change 30-Second Oil System: John Deere’s exclusive tool-free oil drain makes annual maintenance fast and mess-free — attach a hose, turn the valve, and drain. No tools, no drips, no hassle.

Kanzaki Tuff Torq TLT200 Hydrostatic Transmission: Smooth, responsive infinite speed control using side-by-side foot pedals. Creep through tight areas or accelerate across open lawn — no clutching or shifting required.

Operator Comfort: The S170 is built around the operator with a comfortable high-back seat, ergonomic control layout, and open station design with clear deck and surroundings sightlines. The deluxe steering wheel and upgraded gauges make every session more comfortable and convenient.

Fully Accessory Compatible: Accepts the complete John Deere home-owner accessory ecosystem including mulching kits, bagger systems, tow-behind carts, aerators, dethatchers, spreaders, and lawn sweepers.
