John Deere Tractors Garden tractor

why old John Deere green tractors are a better investment than new. My 20 year old John Deere 332 diesel garden tractor will last forever if I maintain it. John Deere mowers mow and mow.

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!

[slowride55]

its a hydrostatic, you dont need to put on the brakes

[tkunk]

the brakes are generally used to send power from the wheel that has lost traction to the other rear wheel.

almost sounds like a detroit diesel

[tkunk]

well it sounds good, but it doesn't have the RAP of the detroit 2 strokes. Gotta love them Detroit diesels!

Hey buddy, theres a big difference between a craftsman and John Deere. I could write a book on how Deere outstands it. Number one, resale value. Who wants to buy a used craftsman? Who will gladly buy a used Deere? Me. Piece of mind behind quality equiptment.

@PJDiesel76 no the 318 is not the same it is smaller, the 322 Is the gas version of 332, the 322 has a diesel engine that is converted to run on gas. And know the 318 is smaller we used to have a 318 with a single stage snowblower, and now have a 322 with a 47 in two stage, and trust me the 322 sounds WAY bigger , and has a bigger engine than the 318

@DailyDiceCc no ya cant. im getting a 2 year old craftsman mint conditiion. selling for $200 used. that things like 10 years old and has 700 hours on it

[DailyDiceCc]

@MegaSierra123 You'd be insanely lucky to find this or any other older tractor for 500$ in this condition, 3 grand, a little steep, but i can easily see this going for 1.75-2.25 grand easy.

[MegaSierra123]

Ya my ass that damn thing would sell 4 $500 bucks not $3000

Get you facts right if ur making a info vid

I have an even older 285, where the tractor bit still works well. However it needed a new mower deck as the original had rusted through. In the UK at least, this was not available. An equivalent new JD with Diesel engine was over £10,000. I bought an Iseki, which had the advantage of a 3 cylinder rather than 2 cylinder engine and full hydraulic emptying on the grass collector. Price - just over £6,000. Not a hard decision. Just as well made as my old JD.
