Hi all I am currently in the market for a john deere tractor that will be used to mow .7 acre and plow a very large driveway. Growing up my dad had a 318 and later a 455 and I loved both of those tractors. I have narrowed it down and am currently faced with two options. First option is a John Deere 455 with 1800 hours on it. This is at a JD dealer and was a trade in from someone who worked at the dealership and has all service records. He is asking 3500 + tax which will take it to 3710. Second option is a John Deere 322 with 1100 hours and also comes with the 54 inch plow from a private seller for 2500. I am really leaning towards the 322 due to price but I really like the 455. However, honestly I probably don't need that big of a tractor. Any advice would be more than appreciated. Also, does anybody have an idea of how many hours the 322 yanmar usually is good for? thanks a lot
