But dang dude you stole that 445
Only thing that hurts the value is the plastic cam gear, I believe that's what it is, google 445 plastic gear. Ones with the plastic gear aren't bringing as much money
Mines a 455 not 445 which made it even better of a deal.
Ok I'll give you $350 ONLY because it's a 445.
So what kind of work have you been doing with your 445?
When I first bought my house, I didn't have the money for a mower so I used (shared) my dad's 445, I used it to mow my 3 acres weekly, stretch my chainlink fence I installed for the cattle, move trailers around ext.
That 445 was cutting 5 acres weekly plus working for me at the time. There VERY stout and capable machines. His has just over 1000 hours on it now.
I only cut a acre of grass with it. The 22 or 23 hp (dont remember which) craftsman I had would burn a tankful every 2 cuttings. This diesel deere will cut the yard 5 or 6 times on the same gallons. Other than a couple set of blades, 1 set of deck belts and normal oil changes I have done nothing to it since I bought it.
I apologize, idk how that didn't click, 455 diesel lol forget what I said about the cam.
Sadly for me you could get out of that tractor as much or more than you paid for it. If it's in good shape, 3-5k usually. The old 430s are bringing 3-4K still.
How many hours on yours?
