Scotts Lawn Mowers
Scotts create high quality riding mowers. They also have a range of push mowers but their expertise lies in constructing, solid riding mowers that are favorably reviewed by most groundskeepers that try them out. Scotts Lawn Mowers were previously constructed by Murray which gave them reliability but recently they have started being constructed by the experts at John Deere. This has given Scotts lawn mowers an additional boost up in build, quality and features. Their stand out models all come from their S Series. However, Scotts lawn mowers are no longer being made. Since Scotts were bought by John Deere there were too many similarities between the mowers offered by the brands and the Scotts line was stopped. In the marketplace, and especially online, there is a large inventory of used or near-new Scotts machines that can be bought.
This series comes in a variety of sizes. If you have a smaller garden you can take the S1642 which has a 16hp V-Twin engine and a 42in cutting length. This mower is fine for any garden up to 2.5 acres. The upper end of the range is the S2554 that gives you extra grunt up to 25hp and a cutting length of 54in. That sized riding mower can easily chew up fields of 5 acres or more. Available in either a 5 speed or a hydro-automatic transmission, you have complete control of your machine as you tackle the task at hand. These machines have side discharge and mulching options and a tiny turning circle so nothing is made hard for you.
Most consumers have found the Scotts mowers durable lasting 3 years or more with no discernable problems. Reviewers also reiterate that the newer Deere models show better performance than the older models built by Murray.
As they are no longer available and were being made by John Deere if you are looking for a new lawn mower with similar specifications then the L series or the 100 series offered by John Deere would be worth a look. They start at the same price, $1,500 and they are built in the precise same way, loaded with features, have up to 30 attachments and options that can be chosen and you get the full John Deere support including home servicing. Both the L series and the 100 series have impeccable credentials and review history so it seems if you want a Scotts then a Deere may well be the best way to go.
Even though Scotts are no longer producing lawn mowers they still have the extensive John Deere network in place for support. This network is extensive and is international in reach, and can assist in servicing your Scotts lawn mower or locating a used Scotts lawn mower if you wish to buy one. In addition, Scotts have organized a deal with Home Depot that they offer full service support and can provide additional options and accessories on your Scotts lawn mower.
