Re: Y\'all asked for it.........SNOW!

We had 23F this morning and it's already 61, but just dry. We'd take any kind of precipitation we could get. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I'd like the pic of the 445 w/loader going through the 7' drift (sorry I didn't make it more clear /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif )

NUTTIN HERE!
All the hubbub, and good ol Upstate NY doesn't get
an inch from this one.
We did get 18 inches here last week,, mostly lake affect, but with the colder temps that kind of snow doesn't amount to much.. sled trails are already gone to ****.. and what is left will disappear this week with rain and temps in the 40's coming.
Well, at least till saturday,, then another cold blast and maybe some snow...
Enjoy it while you got it!

Hey Beenthere;

Unfortunately you will have to use your imagination. Sunday was the first time I've used the tractor to move snow - we didn't have it when the original pics were taken, and we didn't manage to get any pics of the 445 in action.

Here's a pic of the tractor with loader though...

It doesn't matter how big it is. The important thing is that is does the job you want it to do. I'd prefer a much bigger machine than my 27hp Cub Cadet. A bigger machine wouldn't be able to get into where I want to go and do the things I would need to do easily.

I'm with you 100% JimR

I got the 445 because it seems like about the best compromise. The major use of it is mowing about 2 acres of lawn - which it does really really well. The loader is for some light landscaping - raised beds, compost bins, moving trees and shrubs around for planting and snow removal.

I also wanted a tractor that was flexible enough to do other things - I rough mow about 5 acres 3X per year. Right now I'm doing it with the MMM, but looking at other options by adding the 3PH and rear PTO.

It's a small platform with plenty of power (19 PTOHP), that is maneuverable. The loader while maybe tiny in comparison to some is still WAY ahead of a wheelbarrow.

Cheers!
