I just bought a new 03' 4110 gear drive with loader and mid-mount mower. What I didn't realize (neither did the salesman) was that the pto is single stage. Hence, when you touch the clutch in a tight spot, you stop the mower. Not the end of the world but a pain none the less. I have a quote to move up to the 04' 4110 Hyd. Another $2700 bucks. Any thoughts

Sometimes I am amazed at what tractor salesmen don't know....
I do know those little niggling things can really take the shine off the joy of a new machine. If you are having thoughts about upgrading ... DO IT NOW.
Strike while the iron is hot. If you are like most.... you are going to keep your tractor for enough years to cancel out the extra cost.
It's not $2700, more but likely $45 bucks a month to get what you really want and really need. Can you afford $45 bucks to get what really satisfies your soul?
I think maybe you can.
BTW, I started with a 4100 Gear in June of 2001 and while trying to sell it bought a BX22 in 2002 and was not satisfied with that either.
Last year I sold the BX and traded the 4100 Gear for a 4115 HST and a 46 backhoe. I am a very happy camper now. I hope that this tractor and I will grow old together.
I only wish I had gotten what really satisfied me to start with........... ....

I have basically the same setup -- 4410 gear with 3pt mower.
I guess I'm not very sophisticated about mowing, but what exactly is the problem that stopping the mower creates? Maybe I'm not experiencing it yet because I've only mowed twice, but I'm not seeing any disadvantage to this. ....
