    That is a very sweet deal:). I just picked up a 2001 Foreman 450ES. That 455 is a great garden tractor as well. Would love to have one some day. Enjoy the new tools:)

    The tractor was a better deal than the quad, I have about half as much in it as I do the quad..... Gonna be hard for me to top that in 2017, but I'm going to try anyway.

    What crackhead let a 455 go for $350? The deck is worth that much!

    Some guy that responded to my ad, I didn't know the mower was even there until I got there, hence the creative loading on the trailer. I thought I was just going after a quad, but it ended up in the back of the truck. He was going through a divorce and had to get stuff out of the barn that he was renting with his soon to be ex-wife. I told him the mower was worth more than that, but all I brought with me was $650 cause I thought I was coming to buy a $250 quad. He said for $650 he'd give me the mower, deck, wagon, sprayer, and a Stihl FS80 trimmer. After I paid him he kept bringing stuff out and setting by the truck while the boy and I were loading, like one of those tune up kits for the tractor, a new set of blades, a brand new cover for the quad, a couple spare tires and wheels for quad, I don't remember what all there was. I got all the receipts and manuals for both the quad and the tractor for all the maintenance that had been done since they were new, spare keys for both. Probably in my top 5 scores of all time.
