King City, Mo | I have 2 john deere 4455's that we bought new, one in 91 and one in 93 and a 7210 we bought new in 99.
All three have 3400-4800hrs. I can pull my 750 jd drill with either one of them fine without duals on in gently rolling hills of nw mo. They are all 3 two wheel drive.
It would be nice to have a mfwd but they only time i wish i had one was when i'm doing something i really shouldn't be doing like plowing mudd or trying to open the hwy when there is a big snow storm.
The seat is better in the 7210, but the rest of the tractor is better on the 4455's. They are tough to beat. My neighbor ran ours baling hay and mowing when my dad was getting treatments for cancer when i was in collage and last year he got himself a 4455 mfwd and loves it.
The 4455's will burn a little more fuel if you are mowing hay compaired to the 7210 useing the same discmower. I always told dad i did more mowing then he did and that's why i burnt more fuel.
The 7210 has had more stupid issues, the pto had an issue last year that was like a grand to fix, the water pump has went out on it, the a/c doesn't blow as cold as the 4455's cuz your have a bigger cab to cool, i'd rather have a powershift vrs a power quad unless ur baling hay without a kicker.
