I currently have a 60" deck which is great but adds 300 pounds to the tractor. I love the 445 but need a smaller deck for the yard I have. I do not want to go to a newer deere because they all have belt driven hydro's. A smaller deck is all I need and I can not seem to find one. Anybody know of one I can buy?

Awesome. It might be worth it for me. I am in central Wisconsin so not too bad.

From Great Lakes Illinois, it was 500 Miles across the UP to my place in Charlevoix, 10 hours roughly. The deck is missing a couple of the guide wheels as I needed them on my 54" deck. Make me an offer and it is yours.

Wheels are easy to get so no prob there. Do you have pics of the deck that would be good before I offer. Also I would like to ship it so just need to know who is up by you so I can get some quotes. Do you have the bagger for the powerflow or are you using it with the 54" inch deck?

I might be interested in your 60" depending on condition, do you have any pictures?

Pictures will have to wait until this evening as We have to go to Traverse City for some appointments and won't be back until this evening. I didn't receive the rest of the power flow kit when I got the deck. I got this deck as a spare when I found out I could not get a new 54" deck as a spare. I also love my 445 and have had it and the original 54" deck since new in 1994. I managed to pick up a beat up 54" deck last year and I no longer need the 48". The spare 54" is in rough shape, but the sheet metal is not bent up and cracked like my original deck. I think when the time comes, I can sand blast and paint it and I will be able to get another 20+ years of mowing out of my 445.

I will post some pics this afternoon. See what you think. They are great decks just too big for my less than acre lot. I have a move the 20 degree incline for front lawn which I need a tractor that can handle that but smaller deck for weight and getting around obstacles.

No problem I can wait thanks for the help I love my 445 and would not trade if for the x500 or x300 if I can help it.

Here are some pictures, I can tell you this deck was used for two years and then the yard work was contracted out. When the 425 it was used with was scrapped, I had the chance to pick up this deck, I wish it was a 54" but they are no longer making any decks for the 4x5 series so I was happy to get it.

Here are my few pics. I will get more once I get the deck off again. I wanted to give you a few now to give you an idea.

So did you ever find a new deck and think of a price for this one?
