Anyone know JD Lawn Tractors?
Hi,figured I better check-in here with My quest..I have spoken for an
estimated 25yo JD lawn tractor,,12 1/2horse,,mower deck and single stage snow blower attachment,,recent engine re-build,,whatever "recent" is and a new seat..The price is $200,,,sound about right? My Bro-in-Law is using it this Winter then come spring it's Mine..I ca'nt really justify a new rig for this lawn alone and the small lot accross the street..I blew-up the Murray rider,,got it for $75 tho and used 2 seasons.. Does Anyone know the original cost(estimated)of the above JD? Also I'm thinking I'd like to trade the snowblower for a plow attachment,,how likely is that?heh heh.. Thanks Dean |

I have a 30 yo JD 110 and am not familiar with your 12 1/2 hp but my 8hp handles the single stage blower very well. I would say any JD that is running should bring $200 as long as it isn't smoking real bad. A plow and a blower are two distinctly different animals. Plow is nice for cleaning off a couple inches or a little slush but the blower should handle 8 or 10". The plow leaves behind a snowbank that is hard to move a few days later. The blower leaves no obstructions. I have a Wheelhorse plow that is like new and haven't been able to get $100 for it. I'm guessing you could get a JD plow for $50 but it is sometimes hard to match this equipment up. |

I want to try a plow next Winter just to see..Everyone agrees with You almost verbatum so I'll probably hold on to the blower too and maybe get a plow too and try them both out..I've never used either. Thanks.. Dean |

I have a 10ish year old JD GT262 with the snow thrower (they use the word thrower for this instead of blower) here in NJ. I would not want a plow. The thrower works really well. It tosses it up and away from the driveway, carves through the pileup from the plow at the road, and maybe most importantly does not bend up the frame of the little tractor. Plows are known for doing that if you try to work them too hard, and too hard can be less snow than one thinks. Tomes |

Dean You're not going to bend up your frame unless you lpow crazy like ramming into a snowbank at high speed. I've spread gravel over a driveway with mine and spread large piles of compost over a garden several times. I've even pushed logs around when I am cutting firewood. Just don't ram things with it. |
