John Deere D140
The John Deere D140 is very similar to the John Deere D130 as they both have the same engine, the Briggs and Stratton ’40’ engine that produces 22 hp. This 2 cylinder engine also transfers power to the wheels using a Kanzaki Tuff Torq T40 hydrostatic transmission that gives it infinite gears in both forwards and reverse. The capacity of the fuel tank on the JD D140 is 15.1 liters (4 US gallons) and is located towards the rear of the machine.
The front wheels on the John Deere D140 measure 15×6-6 (15 inch diameter, 6 inch width, 6 inch diameter of rims) while the rear tires measure 20×10-8 (20 inch diameter, 10 inch width, 8 inch diameter of rims). While the tires as well as the machine itself may seem quite large, the JD D140 has a very small turning radius of just 0.46 m (18 inches). The seat on this mower is very well designed to offer the operator maximum comfort during long operating hours. It is 0.38 m (15 inches) high to support your back and can be adjusted up to 0.14 m (5.5 inches) forwards or backwards so that you can guarantee a comfortable operating position.
The mower deck on the John Deere D140 has a cutting width of 48 inches and is constructed from very strong 12 gauge steel. The mower deck has 13 different operating positions from as low as 1 inch from the ground to 4 inches above the ground. It can be adjusted in 1/4 inch increments which means that the operator will always be able to get pretty much the exact cutting height they want. While the cutting width of the mowing deck is 48 inches, it’s total width is a lot higher at 1.53 m (60 inches). This is because of the fact that it has a pretty large discharge chute. The total weight of the machine 223 kg (491 lbs) when there are no attachments or fuel. If you are looking for a bigger version of this lawn mower, then check out the John Deere D150 garden tractor.

The only thing I have going as a positive is the pretty colors. It has trouble starting in all weather. You can’t choke it without almost breaking the handle pushing it forward. When it is on uneven ground, it cuts deep on the ones side, and completely misses the other. The height adjustment grabs my pants on mounting or dismounting. To disassemble the mower deck takes about an hour, and more when you remount it in the spring.
After only 1 year and the battery being on a maintainer all winter (John Deere labeled battery), it completely died. I bought an aftermarket from Tractor supply that has lasted 3 years so far.
This is definitely the worst purchase I have ever made.
It is a sad thing that my 18 year old Craftsman outperforms this unit. I will never buy another green and yellow anything.
I don’t think I would buy a John Deere lawn tractor again. You are paying for the name and I have not seen the reliability in the D140. Every time I get on this tractor I am asking myself if it is going to make it through this cutting without needing repair.
when I bought it the bearings made a lot of noise I told dealer but never did anything about it. They said that they would come out to see it but never did. Finley I took the lower assem apart myself. Three baring assys. were rough and I replaced them. One of the plates mounting plate for a pully was bent and the shaft mount was worn so bad that the pully wobbled . I replaced it. I bought a new belt . the old one was oiled soaked. When I switched the blade assem. the engine almost stalls out. Every year I complained about the noise and they would say that they would come out and look at it ,but never did !
I got tired of it this year and did the work on it my self !
At least it don’t scream
when the blades are turned on !
Not Happy, too much cut grass blowing ALL over the operator.
Overall, a little disappointed. For my first ever riding mower, and buying a JD, and paying that price, I expected a four and five star mower. Not a two and three star.
Kind of feels like a “cheap” made mower for a JD. I read past reviews here before submitting this. Many of those comments were true. I have had my pants pocket get caught in height adjustment lever. I think the only “D” series that didn’t come with a front bumper. Had to buy separate. Headlights are dim and do get dust inside.
Of the several mowers I have owned, not the best when you consider the price that you pay for the name John Deere
This mower is a piece of crap. Ive only had it a little over a year. Its pulleys are going out ,ive replaced the belts twice. And its only got 140 hours. Come on john Deere wth. My 130 was twice the mower. Maybe you should paint them lemon yellow. Im so dissapointed in this product, im not sure i even want anymore jd products.
This mower cuts the very worst of any mower I have ever had. I am going to change the blades to a mulcher type and change the tires to some that have a good aggressive tread. Lots of things I will have to fix.
Would not recommend this model to anyone.
OUTSTANDING
QUITE FRANKLY I SUPPOSE YOU COULD GET THE JOB DONE CHEAPER BUT WHO JUST WANTS TO GET THE JOB DONE”RIGHT”?
THANKS JOHN DEERE I AM 86 AND LOOK FORWARD TO MY NEXT ONE MAYBE IT WILL HAVE LASER BEAMS INSTEAD OF BLADES.
Nice tractor Used it all last summer had no problems with it. Starts right up ,Drives good ,mows good, turns good, quite to run , I’d have to say it’s one hell a tractor to own.
2 Months. The only bad thing…….a deck pulley was put on wrong from factory, shearing the belt clean off. While loading the tractor the saftey chains for the ramps were not properly attached, and the ramps slipped, then the back tires rolled off the back of the pickup truck, Smashing the hood to pieces. I was able to jump from the tractor and got away with a scrape on my knuckle. The tractors repair, Which was supposed to be under warranty, ended up being $350. The machine was brand new. I am 13 and i am just about the only user of this tractor, doing minor landscaping and all my families yard work because i like to. My father and i were not, NOT happy. Overall, this is a great tractor and i recommend it for the average homeowner with a 1/2-2 acre property, obstacles or not.
This lawn tractor surprised me at how smooth it is to ride and you don’t feel like it is going to throw you out of the seat. The cut quality pleasantly surprised me and the engine provides plenty of power for even tall grass. This lawn tractor did pretty well while mowing my ditches. I wish the rear end was a little heavier, but it did good. The engine is very quiet and I think it sounds really good. I haven’t owned this unit for very long, but I am happy so far. My John Deere Dealer experience was great and a pleasure to do business with. Don’t be afraid to buy one of these models.
for the machine cost you cant go wrong, mows really good, and drives good too
