I tried a 4300 john deere with a 60" belley mower. The mid pto went out at 9 hours. The engauge lever for the pto is hard to operate (not the mid pto knob) and the lever to lift the mower sticks. The tractor had a 430 loader. With the seat all the way forward you could not roll the bucket on the loader back. The lever hit the seat. The local dealers never seeme to have much information on belley mowers on this size tractor. I guess most belley mowers are sold on smaller teactors. Does anyone have information on these items?

The 4300 I traded recently had the 60" mid mount mower. I thought the mower did a nice job of cutting but the points you raise regarding the controls are valid. The PTO control lever is too close the three point hitch control. You should plan on losing a little "hide" ocassionally if you buy the tractor. These are some of the creature comforts that Deere seemed to have missed on these tractors. On the 4200-4400 you have to reach to the floor to engage the MFWD. These new tractors are rugged as can be but the Deere engineers should have stole a NewHolland Boomer just to see how nice it can be. Deere needs to address the comfort and control issues or I see myself on the TC40D instead of the 4600 a year from now. ....
