    The 455 is one helluva an upgrade for my from my d120. It was much cheaper than a kubota/newer deere scut. Also came with all attachments needed. It is a force of a lawn maintenance garden tractor . If I get the woods behind me I will get something larger if the wife agrees

    Is that a slip on cover over your seat TJ? That would be a nice "fix" for mine. It's all torn up.

    They make a few different ones. Padded, unpadded, plain back, or with cargo pockets.

    Yeah the wife got it on Amazon I belive for my birthday. Can't remember which size but it fits perfect. My seat is in great shape and Want to keep it thay way. I swear a good seat on these garden tractors pulls value up ha...
    wish I cut my door way to the lean to larger. I eventually plan to widen it out and make a sliding door. Drive a loader right to whatever stack I'm working on. I really do love the size of the 455. Plenty of Power to do more than you should do with it. I really wish they made this exact size in a 4x4. I think it would be a home run with smaller lots where a cut or scut seems to large for the owners needs.

    I don't think my x575 is any bigger than yours TJ and it's 4x4. MasterMech could prolly tell ya what the new model number is that they make today. I agree with the size part too... can get this into all kinds of tight spots... :whistle:

    After I posted that I knew I was forgetting some of the x5xx models. Great gt as well! As far as size goes they are perfect for me. I don't think they can do the gt sized loaders anymore due to some regulations or something. Don't quote me on thay tho. I don't think the new x700 series gt can take a loader anymore which sucks. I can say stacking the weight on mine is huge Game changer. I would take mine and your garden tractor over a zt any day of the week. That a reugg 3 pt? How often do you use the 3pt besides weight? Debating on one myself

    They ever make a model of your gt with a diesel? I'm sure the kawi is top quality. But the little yanmar in mine loves being pushed. it has never struggled. Just puffs a bit of Black smoke and acts like it wants more. Really impressed with the torque out of such a small package

    Just a weight box on back. No 3 pt set-up. I think it was available with a diesel too.

    Yup, deere did the X595 which is the same as Stinny's X575 but with a diesel. That morphed into the X748 and a I have no idea what the current model number is. I know very little about the latest generation X700 series tractors. Guess I'm getting old.:BrianK:
