alswagg 128 #1 Posted May 6, 2015 How common and reliable is an 855? I simply want one to pull the lawn sweep around the yard, or the lawn cart. Maybe pull the log splitter to the wood pile and back. I like the simplisity of the little tractor. I have several D series which is much larger I know, These we use as our working tractors, Thanks Al Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,316 #4 Posted May 6, 2015 The 8 hsp is a great engine and easy to work on. The guts they have will surprise you, and they start very easy. I just tap the key on my 857 and it's running. Not sure how rare the 855 is, but the 8 hsp engine is all over the place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slovinski 42 #6 Posted May 7, 2015 The short frame 8's are great little tractors, plenty of power, easy to work on, and are real gas sippers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
