The John Deere 140 lawn mower is probably the most famous of all. Think of it as the mac-daddy of all mowers. This model has a whopping 23 horsepower in its engine designed and manufactured by Briggs and Stratton. That’s a lot of power for a single mower. So you can understand why this mower is the choice of many professionals in the gardening industry. Take a look at some of these fantastic statistics:
- The John Deere 140 has a 48-inch (4-foot!) deck. It is very large, so buying this mower for a small garden would not make sense. But if you have a large garden then this will take care of all your grass cutting needs.
- All controls are compact. This means that if you’re regularly cutting around low branches, you don’t have to worry about them getting caught and damaged as is the case with other mowers. Instead, the controls for managing the cutting height, engaging/disengaging the blade, and clearing the grass are all carefully designed so that the chances of one catching on a branch and injuring themselves are limited.
- The John Deere 140 mower has an easy-to-read fuel gauge and LCD display that shows run time so you always know exactly when to refuel or have it serviced.
- As with almost all garden mowers today, it comes with the option of using a bag to catch clippings or using a mulch cover so clippings can provide nutrients to the soil as they break down.
- Finally, it’s good to know that the John Deere 140 is built with 12-gauge steel and was robotically welded to ensure a precise, durable, and strong weld.
