Why did I buy a John Deere 318?

[@ryanvalleyirrigation]

I bought my johndeere 318 from perry michigan last October 26 2023. I bought the snow plow in Hudson ville mi in September first got the old paint off i Prime it then let dry. And then paint it yellow. I then bought a 49 snow blower for it i took the old paint off i prime it. Let it dry then after that i paint it yellow. I got a new garage for my Kubota bx1880 i have 2 tractors before i had my first tractor it was a MTD tractor first then bought a cub cadet xt2 tractor later on bought a walk behind snow blower i never used over 2 years. I sold the cub cadet xt2 first then i sold the cub cadet 2x snow blower . Last winter when we got deep snow i used my snow blower. This year i had to pay money to have the johndeere 318 to get it fixed when i did the oill change we broke the plug for the oill pan got fixed the P t o clutch. Was make Noise when you went to use it. It would be harder to start when hot. I had to get pto parts for. I use it day to mow it works much better. I can't wait to use in the fall time and winter time this year

@@ryanvalleyirrigation I only used my 54 blade last winter. I am hoping to get to use my 49 snow blower this year. I hope yours continues to work well for you!

These tractors are so good.

I couldn't agree more, they are awesome!

Little Buck makes a nice loader for these tractors and if you're good at fabricating, PF Engineering sells plans for a DIY loader.

That would be so cool to make my own. And I have the tools (and maybe the skill) to do it, but I'm not sure I have the time. I have been looking at the Little Buck loaders, that might be the way I end up going. Thanks!
