John Deere is one of the leading tractor manufacturers in the world. It has a rich history of manufacturing some of the best tractors. One of the reasons why John Deere is widely recommended today is because of the consistency they have shown during their long tenure as the market leader in the manufacture of tractors.

The John Deere 160 is a lawn tractor just like the John Deere 111 in terms of purpose. However, both models differ from each other when it comes to features. The production of the John Deere 160 started in 1986. However, the production lasted little over two years and was stopped in 1988. John Deere has got the reputation of quickly halting production of their old models and coming up with something new every time, much like what Nokia does these days with their mobile phone manufacturing. John Deere introduced model 170 after they discontinued the 160. The John Deere 170 was slightly superior to this model in terms of performance and features. The production of this model was mainly carried out in the United States of America.

The JD 160 has a slight upper hand on most of the other lawn tractors when it comes to the engine power. It has got an engine power of 12.5 HP, whereas most of the others have an engine capacity of 12 HP. The engine has been manufactured under the brand name of Kawasaki.. The engine runs on gasoline. Like the John Deere 111, the John Deere 160 too has got an one cylinder engine.

The mower deck too is very impressive with a cutting width of 38 inches. The tractor has also got an optional snow blower attachment with a clearing width of as high as 38 inches.  With such amazing attachments, this model gained a lot of popularity in no time. It was preferred by many mostly residing in the snowy areas. This was because of the fact that its snow blower was of extremely high quality and hence delivered great performances almost every single time.

The JD 160 has many purposes. However, it performs best when used for lawn care and maintenance. It is indeed yet another good quality tractor manufactured by John Deere. If you are looking for a lawn tractor, the John Deere 160 is highly recommended.
