Old Collection
Model Year: 1992

I have collection of tractors. John Deere 430, 212, 345. all are older. Cub Cadet 109,105. Simplicity 727 Broadmor. I like the old tractors. They are built much stronger and are reliable.

Pros: Built stronger.
Cons: None.

2_86 John Deere
John Deere 430 Lawn and Garden Tractor
Model Year: 1986

I have the 60" deck. I made some modifications to the gauge wheels that make it less likely to destroy the lawn when turning sharply or backing up.

Pros: Lots of power, very reliable, easy to work on. Big deck makes short work of 4 acres of lawn.
Cons: Hand controls, parts availability, implement availability.
