I have a late '80's 485. It is a 2WD with a Bushhog front end loader. It has been a good tractor for hay - , disk mowing, loading round bales, pulling 4x5 round baler.

The synchronized transmission is handy, if you ever get used to the strange gear shifter over on the left side. There seems to be a price to pay for the better power, though.

The engine blows warm air into the operator area, which is a drawback in hot weather. Despite these small quirks, it is a good tractor.
