JD300 John Deere
Great Mower and Rear Bagger
Model Year: 2013

Mower does a great job and mows close on both sides. Cut is consistent and even. Comfortable to use and has good extras, cup holders, etc. If I were to change any thing it would be the trans axle. I am a little more used to the old 316 which is still awesome!

Pros: Easy to use and dump bagger.
Cons: Wet grass can clog shoot for bagger.

JD300 John Deere
Great Mow Machine and Beautiful!!
Model Year: 1968

The 43HP rebuilt gas engine and turf tires, coupled with the ultra tight turn radius make this an awesome tractor for our mowing needs. Power steering makes it wife friendly and the overall Simplicity is fabulous. It pulls our HD 8 foot finish mower with no issues. We mow flat terrain and with this tractor and mower combo, can really save time around the house. The man who refurbished it did a great job and we expect this veteran to be around many more years. We probably will average under 100 hours per year of easy use so we are confident in its longevity. Looking for a way to leverage the mid mount PTO now.

Pros: Turning radius, power, power steering, turf tires.
Cons: Manual transmission.
