Looking at a Farmall 45

[Hay Dude]

Hey I found a 2009 Farmall 45 with cab, hydrostatic & 4WD. 750 hours. Asking price is $19,000. No loader or attachments. Also found Farmall 50 cab 4WD and CVT transmission and loader for $22,000. Also 750 hrs.
I thought it was a reasonable price. Was going to us it mainly for large area finish mowing.
I plan on adding MWX84R 84" rear discharge finish mower and possibly buying a batwing finish mower for pasture clipping.

Anyone have one? Any feedback appreciated.

I have a 45cvt. I like it a lot. I think the 50 with the loader is a better deal.

I have a Farmall 45 that I am looking to get rid of, its an awesome tractor.

Gurkina, please pm me with specs, asking price, location if you're interested in selling. My dad recently sold our dx35 and I'm looking for a similar Shibaura-built replacement. Thanks, Matthew.

Hay Dude, did you get either tractor? We had a 2005 DX35 Hydro which is similar to the 45, but a 3 cylinder. One of the best built, user friendly compacts I've ever had the pleasure of using. FWIW, saw a NH3040 cab, loader, hydro, 4x4 with 600 some hours sell at auction yesterday in TX for $19k, plus 10% buyer's fee. I'd say the 50 CVT you saw is a pretty good buy if you are ok with the cvt transmission. Never operated one in a compact.
All the best,
Matthew

No I never made a move. It will be either that tractor or a Bobcat toolcat.
