When I first approached my dealer about a 4300 hst he stated that they would be in short supply until the middle of June...that was April. Naturally I sarted looking at the 4400hst. I the mentioned the postings about the {bad}-scuffing front axle and he stated that he hadnt heard about it. So, I took him outside a showed him the new design vs the old design. So, either he truly was ignorant of the problem or he was going to let me reveal every issue that I was aware of and respond accordingly. I shutter to think what may have happened if I wasnt reading these posts and kept current on all the developments. I was dealing with the owners son so either they were sitting on info or they were just not keeping up on current developments...Deere service bulletins etc.

David - Hi,(& Semper Fi) I've heard that the dealers get a rebate of sorts if they keep their warranty costs down to a certain percentage of sales, so, you either have to find a good dealer (I certainly did), or keep in touch via this board. I have questioned other dealers about the scuffing, and they too appear ignorant of the issue. I would imagine this guy knew about the problem but wouldn't admit it. As a matter of interest, my dealer had only two complaints (and replacements) out of 35 sold last year! By the way, I traded a Kubota for the Deere (I also upgraded the model)- more comfort, hydro, etc. Jack ....
