My town has two 545's. They can be used for a lot of applications. In the spring/summer they have a sickle bar mower on it. Int the fall, they put a light material bucket on it for leaf removal. For the winter, their is a curtis plow for it, and when they need to remove snow, they can easily switch back to the light material bucket. One loader can't do everything, you need to look at what you need, the money you're willing to spend, and what you can get for that amount. The 545 is good for snow removal, and loading salt. But you need a tractor that weighs less for landscaping.
