A guess as to what a new controller might cost to munfacture might be in the $75- $150 range. Although I have not yet looked into what the 10 series has installed, my job is desiging controllers for other applications that sould be of similar complexity. That means a dealer cost of about $250 and a cost of over $300 for you and I. But that $300 would be the cost to replace the controller without the credit of returning the bad one. If the controller just needs a software (firmware) update, then the replacement cost with a returned unit should be less than $75 for us. Guess we will see how JD handeles this in time. Hope this helps.

I also have a 47 backhoe on a 4310. I agree with butzkeg, it is great. On and off in less than 5 minutes. I also looked at the Woods 7500. I cant say if the Woods mounting is more rigid, but it is with out a doubt a third party looking rig where as the JD was designed to work as an integrated system. The Woods sub frame is also very large and will require much more space to store when the backhoe is removed from the tractor. Don�t get me wrong, I love my new Woods rotary cutter and many of their other products. The Woods back hoe was several hundred less but the first time you install or remove the JD you will know you made the best dicession (at least in the one regard). As for operation, I have about 10 hours on mine and no problems to report. Good luck.

Just added a 47 backhoe to an order for a 4310 with 430 loader. After many frets on just about everything I ordered, I am down to the rethinking the bucket size. The 47 comes standard with a 9" but I was thinking of going with the next size up from John Deere which is a 13". I will be moving and digging rocks and stump removal (as best as the 47 can) and not much if any trench work. 9" or 13" please any quick thoughts.

Has anyone purchased one recently and at what cost? I will either buy right now with new tractor or wait till the spring and loose the rebate or go with Woods. Thanks for any reply

Thanks Jim, this is all very new to me. I want to make the best purchase possable the first time around. The dealer that informed me of the HD bucket option told me it was black and adds about $100 over the standard bucket. I just assumed it was a JB brand (my fault). Can you or anyone tell me how much more the JB bucket might be and if JD has any information on this option (and any other well keep secrets). It would be real nice if the dealers (at least the two I have spoken with) would disclose all options with there customers. Thanks again.

Did you look at the Woods mid grade cutter? Its a bit heaver. I like a lot about it. I will be purchasing a 4310 next week and I have had a lot of troule in deciding on the rotary cutter option.
