Before beginning to search for your tractor, be certain that you know what you truly would like.

nice tractor……vid dark…….a light would have made it much easier to see the underside……
Beautiful machine, I took you advice in the vedio and bought a JD 318 withe the hydrolics etc… When I recieved it the snow blower was already attached so I have no idea how to install the mower. Would you do a vedio on that? Also I can’t find a manual for it without paying and arm and a leg.
Thanks for the advice I love my 318
I have a 322 and love it built like a tank
318 is a SWEET MACHINE!!
It will last forever if you gease it and take care of it
my 24 hours power 2009 craftman lawn tractor is better
sorry but craftsman is kinda off brand
I still have my john deere stx 38 from the early 80s! 12.5 horsepower It still works great I wouldnt want anything else! They dont make them like this anymore!
me too .. I have a stx38 and it’s great
The 332 is a real good tractor. The place I used to work at had one. Held up despite too many operators and the resulting abuse. I have an ’02 GX 325 and I love it. I’ve also got a ’74 Gravely L-8 2-wheeler.
I looked at your gravely vid. That’s sweet!
i like it a lot cuz it reminds me of my little gray mf cuz my garden tractor only has a 12hp briggs & stratton engine but that looks like a regular traktor youst smaller
sry my bad english
I have a JD 165, and it too is built like a tank. Your advice and video is very nice!
You have got to be kidding,i’ve owned both and now own john deere and their is NO comparison,you name it quality,performance and ease of changing attachments and so on.
I bet your little 332 wont withstand my shotgun lolol.
Naw, that’s cool
I’ve seen older miracles than that though.
that thing moves lol
JOKE: A Redneck blonde pushes her lawn tractor into a gas station. She tells the mechanic it died. After he works on it for a few minutes, it is idling smoothly.
She says, “What’s the story?”
He replies, “Just crap in the? carburetor”
She asks, “How often do I have to do that?”
Great video. Very informative.
Nice. The 318 through 430 series are excellent machines. Try finding hardware built like that nowadays…
Great Video. I agree with you. I bought a used JD 318 with 50″ mower, powerflow system, 4 way plow and chains. The thing was an absolute beast. Used it two years and sold it and got all my money back and bought a JD 455 diesel with bucket loader, 4 way plow, weight box, 54″ mower and powerflow. I can’t imagine ever needing more tractor than this for my yard. I could sell it tomorrow for about $1,000 more than I paid for it but I won’t because it’s a beast and way too much fun!
$3000 thats nutsif u payed that u got jiped dude lol
I bet he wouldn’t have taken it out in the rain if there had been thunder and lightning. How come the wheels are changed around to inside out? If you need to put air in the tires, won’t that be a little tough?
