One slight correction. According to my Operators Manual, the JD factory specification for using the 410 loader on a 4100 is that the tractor be ballasted with (1) either 6 rear wheel weights (60 pounds each) or 75% liquid fill in the rear tires and (2) a ballast box with a total weight of 750 pounds. Similar requirements apply to the larger 4000 series tractors as well. Many compact tractors with loaders are not properly ballasted. Ballast is needed for stability as well as traction and weight in a ballast box or with an equivalent weight implement on the 3 point hitch helps reduce to loads on the front axles of the tractor. ....
