John deere 455 expert review

Reviewed by Marcis V. on February 1, 2026

Overview

The John Deere 455 is a compact crawler loader focused on steady pushing and grading. With 49.96 kW of net power and about 6,883 kg of breakout force, it supports light-to-medium earthmoving with low ground pressure stability.

Pros Strong breakout for its size, low ground pressure for soft terrain, simple mechanical layout.
Cons Slow travel speed, dated cab comfort.

Efficiency

A 3.29 m loader dump height supports stockpiling and small truck loading, while a 0.99 cu m bucket balances output with machine size.

In Cabin

The cab is basic and durable with direct mechanical controls and workable visibility.

In Comparison

Compared with the John Deere 350 and John Deere 355, the 455 offers a balanced mix of strength and affordability.

Final Verdict

Rated 3 stars, the John Deere 455 suits contractors needing steady crawler-loader performance on smaller jobs, priced between AED 37,000 and 59,000.
