Looking at purchasing a Cub Cadet 3165 manufactured in 2001 or 02 not sure of the year yet could be earlier - it has 255 hours on it and looks to be in very good condition.

My problem: I will be looking at this machine in person tomorrow and I know N O T H I N G about them can someone help me out as to what to look for / at - as far as potential problems...?

Are these decent machines? The seller is looking for $1400.00 ...

Anyone that has one, had experience with one, please chime in I need info by tomorrow afternoon... - thanks

How did you make out? Shouldn't have been any major issues unless the owner beat on the machine every day.

Decided to buy new, for the warranty, new equipment, bigger / better, CUT, instead of Lawn Bagger...

Bought a JD 2305, with FEL, 54inch MMM -

Bought the Deere because I like the colors (green/yellow), I like all the clothes you can get (hats / T shirts), status symbol, because it makes great diesel noise, who cares about the specs and how it performs on the property, I just want to ride around on it - and thumb my nose to the neighbors, make them all jealous -

The Harley Davidson of tractors / John Deere ...

I am sure you work hard for your money, just like me, so if the new Deere puts a smile on your face, then it's ALL GOOD! I have 3 green & yellow machines myself, and I love 'em, even when I'm fixing stuff on them.
