This update clarifies that the so-called "Scott Lawn Mower" appears to be a naming confusion rather than a distinct John Deere product. Deere & Company manufactures residential and commercial lawn tractors and larger utility tractors that accept mower decks, tillers, loaders and other attachments. When a seller uses unclear names, verify the model number, manufacturer plate or consult an authorized dealer.

The name mix-up

You may have heard the phrase "Scott Lawn Mower" used to describe a heavy ride-on unit. That wording likely conflates different brands or local dealers. There is no well-known, current product line called the "Scott Lawn Mower" sold by Deere & Company; John Deere produces a wide range of lawn and utility tractors under its own name.

What John Deere actually makes

John Deere (Deere & Company) traces its roots to 1837 and has grown into a global maker of agricultural, turf and construction equipment. The company builds residential and commercial lawn tractors and larger agricultural tractors. Many of these machines accept attachments such as mower decks, tillers, front-end loaders and snow blowers, so a single tractor can perform mowing, light tilling and material handling.

Types of ride-on equipment

For large yards and small farms, look at lawn tractors and utility tractors. Lawn tractors typically focus on mowing and turf-friendly work. Utility tractors and compact tractors have heavier frames, more horsepower and standardized hitching and hydraulics for loaders, backhoes, and implements.

Common attachment categories include:

  • Mower decks (mid- or rear-mounted)
  • Tillers and aerators
  • Loaders and buckets
  • Snow removal attachments

How to avoid confusion when shopping

If someone refers to a "Scott" or "Scott's" mower, ask for clarification: a model number, a manufacturer name, or the dealer selling it. Many lawn-equipment dealers sell multiple brands (including John Deere and others), and regional dealer names or service shops can create informal product names.

When in doubt:

  • Check the nameplate or VIN on the machine.
  • Ask the seller for the exact model number.
  • Look up the model on the manufacturer's official site.
If you need help identifying a unit, take photos of the engine label, decals and the serial number plate and consult an authorized dealer or the manufacturer's support.
