John Deere 325 Garden Tractor

It does not look like these were very popular. Kind of the ugly step child of the 300 line circa 1997!:laughing:

Anyone else enjoy one? I've done searches and have not come up with anyone discussing them.

It is a hydro with the venerable Kawasaki FC540 single cylinder air cooled 17hp engine. It does have hydraulic lift.

I've got about 1000 hours on mine now. It has mowed many acres, blown many feet of snow and tilled countless acres!

Here is a picture with the 30" mechanical tiller next to my LS.

Sounds like a cross between my two. A GT275 with your engine and a 345 with your everything else. That air cooled 17 has been a mowing fool for a long time. Still going strong. The 345 is new to me with nearly 1300 hrs. The trams is a little puny but still going pretty good.

I have a 1995 with the 17HP Kawasaki. I have a mower, blade, blower and tiller and 900'hours on it. I love that thing. It has a real steering box and hydraulic lift.
