New member looking to buy tractor

[CZLawnCare]

Hi,
New member here from Canada. I'm 15 and have ran a lawn care buisness for a year now. I have a toro high wheel self propelled push mower, a stihl BG 55 blower and a stihl FS 45 trimmer. I pull all of that in a little 4'x3' plywoo trailer i built. The problem is that I bought a weed eater one tractor to pull it:thumbdown: and now I found out it's not made to pull and its already in the shop for a new transmission. I found a John Deere 216 in amazing shape for $500. I've included some pictures. Please look at them and tell me if you think it's a good buy.
Thanks,
Chris.

Does it have a mowing deck? If so it looks good.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply,
I don't believe it has a mowing deck.

Then I'd get him down on the price atleast $100. Decks aren't cheap. And if you have a nice machine like that and have a business your going to want it able to mow.

While it can pull your trailer, so could your bike.
If it has a mower deck, go for it.....Otherwise, pass and keep looking.
