Tom: I have never had one, although I had two neighbors with them. They have got to be one of the toughest little tractors ever built. Both the tractors I am aware of were worked damn hard, very limited maintainence, jumped off in fall, left outside all winter and never started, yet they just kept running and running. Neither of them had loaders on them. One guy had a low bush blueberry harvester for his, some of those blueberry fields in Eastern Canada are damn steep. That little 484 went trip for trip around the field with a Ford 4610 and Kubota 7950 both 4x4. and all with the same mounted blueberry harvester.

We used to call the 484 the mountain goat. It wouldn't climb quite as steep hill as the 4x4s would but it was close. On side hill I think it was better. I ran the Kubota some and the chalange was to get as many boxes of berries per trip around field as the little IH could. I tied him one day but never beat him.
