satay's Full Review: John Deere 455 Tractor
In a nutshell, I've had the 445 for 3 years. It never worked right, from the get-go. After 2 years they found a bad weld in the gas line which was causing all the trouble but refused to fix it under warranty. A grand down the drain.

The cut is poor (54 inch deck) and uneven, even with newly sharpened blades and dealer adjustment. I've gone through 3 batteries and a voltage regulator plus whatever else the did replace under warranty trying to get it to run on both cylinders all the time.

The only nice thing is the bucket. Limited to 225 pounds capacity, but that's to be expected. Within that, it is quite serviceable. In fact, the hydraulics are the only system which as consistenly worked well.
