Thank you Jim for your reply.I have the opportunity to purchase a john deere 31b post hole digger at a very reasonable price.I explained this to the sales person at the dealership.He informed me that the 4100 was not durable enough and I would be much better off buying a 4200. He explained the durability concern of the 4100 because of its extensive use of aluminum castings.I can understand if you were to use a 24 inch auger!My plan is to go only to a 9 inch size max.It was also explained to me that this is also the reason a backhoe is not offered or recommended and an after market backhoe will void the warranty.Every thing I have read about the JD4100 has been very positive and it seems to be a versatile machine.I am just trying to decide if I should should move up to the JD4200.Any advice from owners of these machines would be of great help!Thanks for the advice and help.

I am planning on buying compact diesel tractor this spring My main concern is buying the right size machine for my needs.I plan to use the machine for loader work,grading,post hole digging and rototilling.The dealer does not recommend the use of a post hole digger on a 4100. Would a 4200 be a better choice? This will be my first compact tractor purchase and I want to hopefully make the right choice! Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. <br> t
