KC9KAS 4,741 #4 Posted February 11, 2014 From what I read on another GT forum, the JD's are more difficult to work on, and the parts are more expensive, but you do what you have to do! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1maidenfan 201 #5 Posted February 11, 2014 Get the loader, paint it red and put in on the D. My ...lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,040 #6 Posted February 12, 2014 Fireman here had one (may be the same one you are looking to trade as he sold it). You may want to PM him for some info. IMO I would keep the D !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 1,021 #7 Posted February 12, 2014 That loader is pretty small and almost worthless for snow removal. It's ok if you just want to move small loads of dirt or mulch. Really just a toy. If you use the D as your primary tractor for snow removal I'd stick with it. If you can afford to buy the 112 and have it as a secondary it is fun to play with!

Austin860 82 #8 Posted February 12, 2014 Sent you a pm fireman. I don't need a snow removal, it's just a toy my neighbor has a plow as we'll. I'm just thinkin I can only use the plow in the winter as opposed to the bucket I could use to haul wood, spread mulch, and move stuff around the yard. Going soon to test the tractor out, kinda push the limits and see what she lifts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
