Are you sure that 450 has a 3 point hitch? It has ALL the parts of an IH Fast Hitch. From 1965 thru 1968 I but a couple thousand hours on a 450 exactly like that one, except ours didn't have that greenish tint from mold/mildew. Plowed, IH 4-14's both Fast Hitch and Case pull type plow because everybody was pulling Midwest plow narrows with their plows, made the first pass over plowed ground silky smooth. Could get 20 acres plowed in a good day, and several trips back to the gas barrel. 12 ft 4 inch Kewanee disk with 20 inch ripple blades no problem sunk in to the hubs in plowed ground in 3rd gear, even ran in 4th gear, 6-1/2 mph disking corn stalks in our flatter ground ahead of the plow. Had an IH #461 frt mounted 4-38" cultivator I went over 120 acres of corn 3 times with every year. The ONLY problem I see mowing hay with a 450 gas is that running 1400-1450 rpm pulling a 9 ft sickle mower you will use over 3 gallons, maybe 3-1/2 gallons of gas an hour. Maybe idling down to 1000-1200 rpm you could get down to 2-1/2 to 3 gallons per hour, but don't be surprised if you can't. It could easily run 2 or 3 mowers, it's the gutsiest 55 hp tractor ever made! Plowing with the 21 gallon gas tank full, they will burn between 4 and 5 gallons per hour, so every 4-5 hours you need gas.Cultivating I'd shift up and throttle down and could easily run all day on a tank. Tough to do that with pto equipment.
