Ed Kennell 35,591 #1 Posted September 22, 2017 I used the newly acquired 417 Auto with the 48" deck for mowing duty yesterday. I like the big tractor feel and sound of the twin Kohler. And that 48" deck makes a nice cut. But, now I remember why I converted the 520 to a dedicated snow chucker. Those twins throw too much heat to use as a mower in this 85 degree heat. May be a dedicated plow tractor is coming. 12 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c-series don 7,772 #13 Posted September 23, 2017 On a serious note (please note that I am never serious!) it appears to me that the 417 was the only tractor that came factory with those baby moons. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I was lucky enough to inherit a 417-A and now use it as my dedicated snow blower. I posted these pictures and then realized you can't even see the baby moons!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 16,877 #15 Posted September 23, 2017 I use a 418-a to mow with and never really noticed it being too hot. Of course when its almost 100* out, I don't guess I would. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
