ryan,
I have a John Deere 332 diesel. It is basically the 318 tractor with a 16 HP, three cylinder, water cooled Yanmar diesel engine. I would recommend this tractor to anyone with a lawn and garden tractor need. It replaced my 317 (17 HP twin Kohler) that would burn one tank of gas to mow my yard once and now I mow the same yard 5 times on the same amount of diesel fuel. To tell a home owner not to buy one of these is telling me this person don't know the difference or what they are talking about! I also blow snow in the winter with this tractor. It starts in cold Iowa weather without plugging it in. The tractor had more than three times the hours on it as my 317 when it blew it first engine. I am absolutely sure this engine will out wear the tractor. All the maintenance it has needed is change the oil and filter, replace the air filter once in awhile and keep little diesel around in a can as it don't use much. No ignition system or spark plugs to worry about on this machine. The real sad fact to this model is that Deere has not and does not really make a tractor to replace it. The 455 would be the closest thing to it but is a larger tractor. I been told there is a new 300?? model something now available but is a tin whistle compared to the 332.
