I'm thinking its getting close to time to get rid of my JD318 lawn tractor. The hydraulics are getting weak and it has a lot of hours on it. Getting the mower off of a machine that vintage is a pain in the neck as I'm getting older. A few other things are starting to happen but its a 1989 model and has been a great machine over the years. A replacement would be either a Kubota or a JD since those are the only dealers close buy. I'm looking in the $8000 - $10000 range for something similar to what I have from what I've seen. Some questions I have include who makes the equipment - does each company make their own or are they farmed out. Any good/bad reviews on the line in general.I know JD can get pretty pricey on parts. I have no experience with Kubota. I've thought about a zero turn but I think I may add a snow blower along with about a 48" mower. One have easier to attach accessories than the other? Are there better times during the year to get a better deal - maybe late fall or during the winter when this type of equipment is in less demand? I just wrestled the mower out from under my tractor to weld a part that broke is what has started me thinking about it.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
