Clearly, a world of difference between that JD 318 and a lawn mower. There really isn't any similarity at all.
Here is a definition: a powerful motor-driven vehicle with large, heavy treads, used for pulling farm machinery, other vehicles, etc. The problem with your definition is that those little guys can't do tractor things, like pull anything heavier than a hat off your head. The 440 I'll give you, though. But my mid size tractor would run right over it, and my tractor could be run right over by a big tractor. At least that cute little guy LOOKS like a tractor. |

The 440 I'll give you, though. But my mid size tractor would run right over it, and my tractor could be run right over by a big tractor. At least that cute little guy LOOKS like a tractor. Your definition is reliant on subjective adjectives. What is "powerful?" What is "large?" Does "heavy treads" mean anything with turf tires isn't a tractor, even if it's a big bastard like the JD 4440 144hp tractor that takes care of the sod farm around the corner from me? My definition relies on features and capabilities. The little guys I posted are designed from the ground up to do a wide variety of jobs including operating ground engaging implements like plows and box blades, and some are even equipped with FELs. There's videos all over the internet of them doing those kinds of jobs. These are things lawn mowers aren't capable of. In the absurdity of YouTube world, there's even a video of a guy using a clapped out 318 with low compression pulling over 38k pounds trying to make it stall:  Extreme Mower Testing With My John Deere 318: Will "Restore" Oil Additive Help? These things were built tough, they were often used hard, and they were very expensive in their day. In 1983, the 318 launched with a starting price of $5,099. Adjusted for inflation, that's $15,989. That's not lawn mower money, either. |

I heart this thread. Nice change of pace.
I don't currently have one as 1.5 acres doesn't justify one even though I constantly joke with the wife about getting one. The only thing have to add is that if you're ever in the Colonial Heights area of VA there's an awsome tractor museum right off of i95. Tons of tractors all fully restored and operable, as well as big rigs, classic cars and motorcycles. They also have an old school type diner with delicious food. An absolute must see if you're in the area. A couple pictures...  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

I’m calling it luck as we have yellow clay shit dirt and it definitely doesn’t always come out that nice. Especially if I can’t keep the plow down 6 inches. Most of the time, the first disking is dreadful and painfully slow because it just rolled over giant humps. Bet I’ll be able to disk this first pass at 5.5mph and not bounce around too much. |
