BTW, paid $1500, more than I wanted to spend, but I've been looking for a rear discharge deck for a while, and blower will be nice too (currently use blade for snow clearing, but plan to pave driveway this year. Will see which I prefer!) Plus I hope to recoup most of my costs when I sell the 520H.

That's awesome Chad! I always said, when something's meant for you, it is, and when it's not, it's not. This one clearly was meant for you! I'm sure you'll enjoy it. :132:

I would say you got a great deal :)
:idea: Deck and caster plus chains in the great white North
0NE Owner that just doesn't happen much these days
I gave five hundred for my 444 but didn't get anything but the tractor :roll:

The main thing is have fun and getting the work done.

Thanks cc! Yes that's true, very happy that my stars aligned on this one. It will definitely be put to work (and maybe pampered a bit too lol). Cheers!

Chad, I think you did well with this, very fair price. There's much hidden value in that it came from original owner who understood and cared for it. You know it was never abused.
Nice find! :113:

Thanks Tim! Yes once I spoke with the gentleman and he mentioned that I knew it would be a special find, sweetened the deal for sure. Definitely has been looked after and given care - I'm honoured to continue that stewardship!

We've been having some beautiful weather this week, and yesterday I did a little rearranging in the garage while getting my dad's bike out of storage (hope to get mine on road soon too!)

Thought I'd formally introduce the 444's to each other :)ImageImageImageImage

Niiiiice!

Chad, quick question! When you run either of your 444s, do your clothes smell like exhaust?

My 446 is terrible that way. :2:

Yes they do, well my older one does at least. I think it's mainly when I'm using the blade - think it reflects some of the exhaust back at me, especially when driving. Haven't noticed it as bad with blade off.

Anyone else experience this?
