John Deere S220 vs. S240
By: Jared Torbert
What do you get with either of the S200 models that is different from the S100s &; X300? What makes the two S200 Sport Models really stand out?
The S220 uniquely adds the following to the S100 Series frame:
- 22hp V-Twin Briggs & Stratton Cyclonic Engine, a step up from the S100s.
- The 42” Forged Accel Deep Deck. The deep flat-top design of the deck provides noticeably better air flow & thus improves the cut quality. It is the latest and greatest from Deere in the residential mower deck design.
- It is Mulch Control compatible, which allows easy change between mulching and side discharge.
- A standard 3-year/200-hour comprehensive warranty.
The S240 adds the following unique features:
- 21.5hp V-Twin Kawasaki FR Series Engine. Kawasaki is one of the highest regarded engine manufacturers on the market today.
- Tuff-Torque K46 Transmission w/Twin Touch Hydro-static Drive.
- 48” Forged Accel Deep Deck.
- Electronic PTO mower deck engagement.
- Power Flow bagger available.
- A two-piece seat for better drainage and longer life.
Both models offer a wide range of excellent features which position both the S220 &; S240 perfectly in the John Deere lawn tractor line-up. With either option you can find the quality &; reliability you expect when maintaining your lawn with a John Deere.
