My new 2000 JD4200, with hydrostatic drive was delivered on Monday, along with its 1999 manual, and in a matter of minutes I was confused. Two things - 1)Under the duel-SCV there is a lever, with three positions. I know what lock and unlock are for, but have no ideal why the center position is there. 2)I read in the manual, in several places. Push the main PTO lever forward to the on position. Then pull up or push down on the mid-PTO knob to engage or disengage the mid-PTO. However on the fender there is a sticker that says, to avoid transmission damage do not engage or disengage mid-PTO with main PTO in the on position. Can anyone explain? Thanks

I am still waiting for my JD4200 to come in, which should be any day now. I have started a file on information about the JD4200, from postings such as yours. Thanks for making my ownership, of the JD4200 a little less stressful.

This is a hard decision for me to make, and I'm probably making it harder than it should be. I have been looking for a tractor for over two years now, and I know exactly what I want / need, except for the tires. I really like the R4's, but the majority of people responding to this post, seem to indicate they would be a mistake. Anyway I'm leaving town for a few days, so I have untill Friday to make up my mind, before I place my order. I would like to thank everyone for their input on this subject. Thanks
