I've only had one CC and it is an 1811 which I have really enjoyed. However I have owned a bunch of JD's and the 318 is a great little tractor but I would claim the 332 to my favorite. With the Yanmar three cyl diesel and PS as well as dual hydraulics it was/is just right for so many jobs. The accessories for it are numerous and easy to work with. I have had a 317, 318, 332, 445, 455 and my latest a 1974 JD 110. I enjoyed PS so much that I added it to my 1811. It changed the little tractor completely. I know that sounds like an overstatement but it is the truth. JD was way ahead of anyone at that time with creature comforts. I liked the 317 but it was a pig if it was not going forward when making a turn. One thing that CC did that JD didn't was making the hydraulic valve accessible. The CC is so much easier to work on than the JD. They are both great machine lines and there will never be anything like them made for an affordable price again.
