I know where there is a JD 4455 2wd 15 sp. PS that only has 250 hours on it. Right at 200 of those hours are just blading snow off a lane. The tractor was bought new in the summer of 1991. The farmer was fighting cancer and his old tractor,a JD 4440, had a nasty cab. No interior left and the AC was toast. HE loved to keep his pastures and such mowed. He was mowing them with no AC and sweating his butt off. His wife came into the dealership I worked at and bought the JD 4455 just for her husband to use mowing that summer. He died right before Christmas that year. The wife rented the farm out and sold all the rest of the equipment. She kept the JD 4455 as that was the only tractor they had ever bought "New". She came in when the tractor was a few years old and bought a "new" 10 foot rear mount blade. She wanted one that she could use herself. It had all hydraulic controls. She also had us install snow runners on the back so she would not plow the gravel off the lane. The draw bar has never had anything hooked to it. He mowed the pastures with a ten foot three point mower. She still has that and the rear mounted snow blade. I go over each spring and service the tractor for her and put the mower on. She keeps the barn yard and drive way mowed with it. I go back in the fall and put the blade on for her. The "wife" is 83 years young. LOL
PS It is kind of funny to see her blading the lane in the winter. She gets some looks as people go by. LOL I don't think she is over Five foot tall anymore. You can barely see her in the cab.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
