JD 4500, 460 Loader and Forks
Model Year: 1999
My 4WD 4500 is reliable and has plenty of power for mowing grass with 6' Land Pride finish mower and brush hogging with 5' Ford brush hog. This tractor starts very easily even in very cold weather. The forks used with the FEL allowed me to handle pallets for my beekeeper activities. Only problem I have had is that the differential lock does not engage so I cannot lock the rear wheels. It is very good on fuel, especially compared to my old, smaller gasoline tractor.
Pros: Power, reliability, fuel economy.
Cons: Differential lock does not work.
