VABlue said:Turbo, did you compare pucker of the x749 to the 455? Can't speak about either since I don't have them. I can say, though, that I've had my 2305 up, down, and sideways on hills I shouldn't have had it on. The seat belt was pulled tight, though!
Not arguing, just trying to understand the justification I couldn't come up with when making my decision last year. Everyone has their reasons for purchasing one over all the others, and they are all valid (especially - 'I want it'). Was just curious... It'll be a grass cutting beast for you, that much I do know! Have fun with it...
I put the 2305 and the 455 next to each other on the same side hill and rocked them to see if I could lift a rear wheel. The 2305 was pretty easy to get the wheel to lift when compared to the 455 so it confirms the pucker factor I experience when driving them.
I think the 455 has a lower center of gravity , also the AWS tends to conform to the hill better when turning so the tractor doesn't "three point" this is similar to the articulating tractors.
