The IH 4500 replaced the venerable model 45 which in it's day was a great cultivator, but had eventually been bypassed by better designs. The 4500 was the initial response to the increased competition and wasn't that much better than the 45. Unless the Wilrich happens to be a really ancient model it is the better buy. If it is the newer quad model, run don't walk to buy it rather than the 4500. I've got an older Wilrich (not ancient) which I bought to replace a model 45. If you don't have a chopper on the combine, you might have some difficulty following the combine with the Wilrich, if planting winter wheat. I wouldn't even attempt this with a 45 or 4500. If you wait until spring after the stuff has broken down a little, the Wilrich works fine. In contrast, I could never get the 45 thru without first making a pass with a disk or something to cut the residue, and suspect the 4500 wouldn't be much better. If your alternatives included the newer 4600, 4800, or the model 4300 which was the last version before before going with the DMI design, the choice could be more difficult.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
