tractors
Last year my ariens s10g finally died. I owned that tractor for close to 30
yesrs. 15 years ago the motor took a dump andi bought a 16 hp to replace it. I had a set of tire chains a 300lbs weight box on the back and a snow plow blade.I pushed dirt like a bulldozer,this tractor did everthing i needed it to do. My 1.5 acers are now in very good shape but my workhorse is now dead,motor died mower deck has been welded back together to many times. I cant spend 7gs on a new tractor. What I need now is to just cut the grass,pull a lawn roller around in the spring and a 40" areator ever other time I cut the lawn. No blade or snowthrower. Looking at 155c jd and ..lt155 cub cadet any opinons. The cub cadet looks like a beefier tractor. Grass is starting grow again any opinions or coments from owners of these models. |

See alt.fan.tractors newsgroup. This newsgroup is for lawns and gardens,
not mechanized equipment that does much more than that. My opinion. -- Jonny "Rich" wrote in message ... Last year my ariens s10g finally died.

Ignore Johnny's brush-off. We just had a lengthy discussion on a JD & a Toro. This is as good a place as any to get an opinion. Personally I doubt if there is much difference between the two you mentioned - just a matter of what color you like and if anybody wants to deal on the price or throw in some extra goodies. I'm still sticking with the oldies - 2 old Cub Cadets, an old JD, and a couple old Wheelhorses. But I'm still plowing a garden, discing, snowblowing, dragging logs around, pulling wagons of firewood, etc. (envying your 300# weight box). I would think either machine you are looking at will satisfy your needs. |

Not that you might not find your answer there. Most posters there are friendly. Ken |

Sorry to hear about your loss.. A good tractor is hard to find.. My old lowes '91 14hp B&S/42" died from a broken tranny.. I've recently purchased a JD GT235.. for $4500 US.. Worth every dime.. Heavy duty tranny, hour meter, cruise, 48" 12GU Deck, 19HP Kawa.. I do a lot of landscape and got tire of being pushed down hill by a loaded cart.. Now I can do anything with anything.. Due the checking .. You won't be unimpressed... My buddy has the 30" tines and let me tell you for a spring garden of 100x50.. it's a weekend with no broken backs.. ;) |
