I am considering buying a John Deere 318 for my grandpa, he is 78 and has had 13 strokes, and the only thing he does passionately is mow, so I figure I should get him a good mower. However, he can't use his feet very well, so I can't buy him a hydro, which there isn't any good mower these days that isn't, and he has tryed unsuccessfully to use my ZTR's before. So, I need you guy's opinion, I want him to have something good, but not tractor size, all he does is mow. The 318 I found has 1000 hours, and is a 1983, its clean, with the 50inch deck. So, I just am curious if the 318 would be good for grandpa, he deserves the best money can buy, and I am going to get him the best I can find, no matter the price. If anyone has a different model, please suggest it, anything that is gear or a hand hydro. Thanks
