Have you ever serviced the hydrostatic transaxle?I believe the JD 318 had a servicable hydro unit. To answer your questions- John Deere manufactures all thr x300,x500,x700 series tractor. The differences are well explained by PeterE's post. I have an x320 ( very satisfied with it)which has been replaced by the current model X380. That would be a starting point unless you want more features. If you have relatively flat ground you may want to consider a zero-turn instead of a tractor.I would suggest trying a couple out to be sure you like them.

I feel the decks are relatively easy to get off the JD garden tractors but it does involve getting down on your hands and knees a little.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
