Dad traded His '54 SM-TA for a '57 450-G so I ran them back-to-back in the very early 60's. Dad always bought 5-8 yr old primary tillage tractors to get away from that first big hit of depreciation. The SM-TA is a real good 3-bottom tractor, the 450 is a real good 4-bottom tractor. Both should have live 2-way hydraulics but even with available Fast Hitch the 450 will have two spare pair of remotes where the SM-TA only has one pair. Lots of SM-TA's have Fast Hitches installed but I never remember seeing one with it back in the 60's. I think it was an IHC Dealer installed accesory installed after the 400 was released with the FH. With the available factory power steering, TA, Live PTO, factory FH I would go for the 450 without a doubt. They don't really burn as much gas as people claim, They just have smaller tanks and do more work.
