Easton Rich 276 #1 Posted February 21, 2023 I would like to buy one, but I don't know the quality, but I'm guessing good? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easton Rich 276 #4 Posted February 21, 2023 Thank You. Just wondering. Trying to collect some from that style. Already have 88 418-A 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,280 #5 Posted February 21, 2023 The 418-A is a great tractor and the 312-8 may be even better depending on the tasks you will be using it for. The fuel used for mowing and other tasks will be considerably less than the 418-A but you will be changing gears as needed and the lift is manual rather than hydraulic. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliver2-44 9,756 #7 Posted February 22, 2023 Yes. I have one and it will do everything you ask of it, and is fairly simple to work on. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 12,067 #8 Posted February 22, 2023 Twin cylinder hydros are great, but the simplicity of a Kohler powered 8 speed can't be beat. All of my tractors are special in my mind, but my 310-8 is my "old faithful" machine that is always ready to work! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,318 #9 Posted February 22, 2023 Yep, good machine. Those Kohler Magnum motors are fantastic and a 12hp unit is just about the perfect balance between being thrifty on fuel and having enough power for pretty much any chore. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The whole time I've been on here you've been a very good help to me. Thanks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
