Great video! I have almost 50 hours on my E180. Only had to change the blades once. The leveling helped a bunch.

Did you check the tire pressure? This could also be part of the problem, you should first make sure the front and rear at the correct pressure

Hey. Thanks for the video bud. I just received mine today. Noticed there is 3 treads on each side, but measurement wise, if I'm facing the front is 3.25 inches on my left and 4.25 inches on my right. It was digging in a little on one side so this video saved me calling home Depot. Thanks again!!

Check tire pressure every time you use the mower. That makes a difference if the pressures are off.

Thanks for the video. Same model, same problem. Is there no front adjustment? I’ve seen on some of the other models a third screw/but that needs adjusted.

Did you check tire pressure first? That can also affect deck level before having to adjust it.

@@PovertyPointCustoms Also have learned the front of deck should be about a 1/4 inch lower than the rear of deck. Something to do with John Deere decks. It prevents double cutting which can cause a white or brown haze on top of your grass. I have a g110 with 54 inch deck. Lowered mine 1/4 in front and no more white haze on the top of my grass!

I bought my S170 at a John Deere dealer, I heard you say you bought yours at Home Depot, that’s where your problem started. The guys at Home Depot do not have the proper training on how to set up a new JD Lawn Tractor, when I brought my new machine home everything was set perfect. You have to understand they have probably assembled by someone that is north properly trained in assembling the machine.

FYI: this is a common misconception. John Deere has their local dealers go to Lowes/Home Depot and assemble as well as inspect all mowers sold at big box stores. With the exception of a few store-exclusive E series (now S series) models, there is zero difference between an E series from Lowes/Home depot and an E series from the local dealer.

Also your anti-scalp wheels are not set to the proper height, they are too high, there are several KZitem that show how too set the anti scalp wheels to the proper hight
