I don't know a lot about JD's so I ask.
Has anyone re powered a JD300 or JD316K with a larger OHV - Vtwin?
I have 4 of these tractors altogether and want to make 1 of them my main grass cutter.
I cut 6+ acres a week, more if I do the neighbors.
Need a reliable, quiet, powerful, fuel efficient machine that's trouble free.
Was considering a 20hp+ Honda clone Vtwin.
I would also like to put a larger deck on it, I think they came with 47", like to get a 60" or so on it.
Anybody done this before?
Reason for doing this is I'm selling my main grass cutter, 3wheeler, while it's still in really good working order, it's too noisy for me. I have to where ear protection when I use it.
I cut my grass a few times last yr with my Massey MF14 and MF16, I found them to be a lot quieter, more comfortable than the 3 wheeler.
I'm choosing 1 of the JD300s over the Massey's because the JD has a larger fuel tank and individual wheel brakes. Longer run time and more maneuverable.
I have sat on that 3wheeler for 5 to 6hrs non stop cutting grass, it does the job, but when you get off it your wore out.
