Hi All,
Please bear with me as I am new to the world of tractors... Anyhow, for the fall and winter I am looking to pick up a do all type of tractor for mowing 2-3 acres and to snowblow the driveway. Up here in Maine I have found a used JD 345 that comes with a 48 deck with the powerflow discharge, a 42 inch snowthrower (hydraulic lift and electric chute control), and a garden cart. Couple questions...
1. How well does the 42 inch single stage snowthrower actually work? I have always had two stage walk behinds...
2. Did the 20 hp 345's have the plastic cam gear like the 400 series?
3. Although the owner has all the service records and the tractor is very clean, would 2300 hours scare you?
4. What should someone pay for that?
I am interested because it seems to have everything that I would need but I have never been down this road before and I am only looking to spend $3000 or less.
Thanks for any help,
Chris
