New Tool for Moving Snow

[Mr onetwo]

What do you guys think of my new to me 2002 John Deere 1445 tractor. https://www.tractordata.com/lawn-tractors/004/1/0/4106-john-deere-1445.html I won it in an auction down in Pennsylvania and also picked up the snowblower down there at a separate dealer.It has a 31 hp Yanmar diesel, 4wd and a heated glass Cozy cab.Low hours and in not too rusty decent shape.It will be so much more comfortable moving snow this winter. I also picked a brand new rear discharge mower deck for it locally. It remains to be seen how hot the cab will be mowing this summer.I have about $8500 in the whole package including brand new tires for it.Almost makes me wish for snow(not really)

Looks great! That's a steal with today's prices.

Hope the doors come off unless it has a/c. The term “ oven” comes to mind

Even with the doors off cabs are terrible without AC.

We had the AC fail in one of our case tractors one summer bailing straw. Even with the doors off and the three windows open it was an oven.

I have been in some of the old AC less aftermarket cabs with nothing more than the windshield installed and they were still hot compared to an open station tractor..

No doubt it will be a problem. However, I am an old A/C and refrigeration guy
