The model 40 front-end loader could only be used on tractors with two-wheel steering. The 455 was compatible with a 42-inch hydraulic tiller (M04390X) on the three-point hitch. To mount the front blade or snowblower the 455 requires the front hitch (BM17347). The front PTO kit (BM17330) is required for a snowblower.
