The John Deere LA110 is a part of the the 100 series that was only manufactured for just one year in 2007. It was built in JD’s Horicon facility in Wisconsin, USA. If you are looking for a similar model that is slightly less powerful, then check out the John Deere LA100. However if you are looking for something more powerful, then check out the John Deere LA120 lawn mower. The JD LA110 is powered by a 19.5 hp, 1 cylinder, gasoline engine that is designed and built by Briggs and Stratton. This engine is 30 cubic inches in size (0.5 l) and uses paper and foam elements to filter the air intake before it goes into the combustion chamber. The engine is started by a 12 volt battery. This battery is charged by 9 amp alternator. The engine requires up to 1.4 liters of oil to stay properly lubricated.

Power from the engine is transferred to the wheels by a hydrostatic transmission giving it unlimited gears in both forwards and reverse. The mid-mounted mower deck that comes with the John Deere LA110 as standard has a cutting width of 1.06 m (42 inches). The mower deck needs to be manually adjusted from just 1 inch off the ground to up to 4 inches off the ground.

The total weight of the machine comes to 204 kg (450 lbs) which is reasonably light for a ride on lawnmower. It has a wheelbase of 1.24 m (49 inches) and a width 1.31 m (52 inches) which makes it incredibly steady on the ground easily allowing the John Deere LA110 to tackle hills and inclines. Without attachments, the length of the JD LA110 comes to 1.74 m (69 inches). Unfortunately John Deere don’t make this model anymore, however it is a highly recommended secondhand mower if you can get your hands on one.

    Best tractor I’ve ever used. Comfy, pretty quiet, always super reliable, never had to choke it. Hit a property marker one day and ripped the mounts off the deck, and it got replaced with a newer S240. Still own the 110, and I’m looking for a new deck for the summer.

    Year of Manufacture: 2007
    Pros: Reliable engine, good transmission, great cut, good speed
    Cons: thin deck
    Attachments: none
    Modifications: none

    Bought this secondhand from a friend about 6 years ago. He had replaced the blades and belt and gave the body a quick sanding and repaint just to make it look a little nicer. The fuel gauge is unreadable at this point but plastic is plastic. The headlights started giving me trouble a couple years ago so rather than buying new bulbs and chasing a possible issue, I removed the front lens and installed led driving lights. They are super bright and allows for late night use much better than the stock lights. The deck has some metal fatigue at the rear hanger but very minor. Not enough to even bother tack welding to reinforce it. I used this to mow about 2 acres weekly at the old farmhouse and now about 1-1.5 acres at the new house. It hauled over 8 yards of mulch last spring and kept asking for more. Overall I wish it was a little larger deck and a couple more ponies under the hood. But for a first secondhand unit, no complaints. Now I’m looking to replace it and find as a dependable machine.

    Year of Manufacture: 14
    Pros: Long life
    Low maintenance
    Cons: For a 14 year old mower going strong, kinda hard to say any
    Attachments: Plug aerator
    Cart
    Spreader
    Modifications: Led driving lights

    What’s great until the rear went.

    Year of Manufacture: 2006
    Pros: Runs great
    Cons: Rear is shot. Cost more to replace then to buy a new one. Seems to be a problem with a lot of them! Never excepted this from a Deere. I would never buy another one.

    I’m extremely happy except that maintenance is a pain as I can no longer do on my own. I have to pay big bucks to have it serviced.

    Pros: Just a good mowing machine.
    Cons: Battery life.
    Attachments: Added the mulching attachment; works great. No clogging.
