I had the same problem with a 4300 I owned. Its because the hoses are coming out of the connector toward the front of the tractor. You need to have 90 degree connectors put on there so that the hoses come up vertical, thats the only thing that will fix it permanently. I don't know why JD doesn't just do that to begin with.

After writing a recent post about my JD 4300 and how it only has 50 hrs on it I got to thinking that maybe I don't need to have all that money tied up in a tractor that I use so little. Seems like I mostly use it for mowing/bushogging a couple of acres and moving stuff around with the loader now and then. So I'm thinking about selling it and maybe buying something smaller and cheaper. I never see any 4000 series for sale in our equipment trader though, so I'm really not sure whats a fair price to ask for it, I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice. <br>It's a 4300,4WD,Hydro trans, with 430 loader, bought last year and only has 50 hours.<br>Any thoughts on what a fair asking price would be?<br>Mike<br>

I bought a JD 4300,4wd,hydro last summer and I've been very happy with it. At first I got the collar shift trans and didn't like it, so I traded it back in for the hydro. I don't use it a lot, I only have 50 hours on it, but it's done some heavy work for me, with no problems.

I'd get the hydro, you can drive it all day without getting tired. Unless you really need the extra HP. I've been very happy with my 4300 hydro.

I've had my 4300 hydro for a while now, have about 20 hours on it and have been very satisfied with it. The loader is very strong and easy to use with the hydro. Only problem I have is that when I make a right turn the right front wheel rubs/grabs the loader hydraulic hoses. I'm afraid it will eventually rub a hole or even tear the hose loose. My dealer gave me some rubber hose protectors that wrap around the hose and are secure with ties, but the wheel hits that and just knocks it up out of the way. Anybody have any suggestions?

Write letters/email to dealer and to John Deere regional and national offices.<br>Their webpage has email address for the division that makes the 4000 series. I had a <br>problem with my 4300 collar shift, they went out searching and got me a 4300 hydro <br>within 2 days.

On my tractor if you disengage the pto but just put the handle halfway between engaged<br>and disengaged, it stops powering the implement, but doesn't brake it, so the blades start slowing down<br>right away, then when they've slowed down a lot, I ease it into the fully disengaged position. That stops <br>that god awful noise. Hope this helps.<br>

Because I don't like the collar shift transmission, so I'm going to get another 4300, but <br>with the hydro trans. So far I've like everything else about the 4300, just had problems with <br>that type of transmission.

Does anyone know where I could get some sort of attachment for my JD430 loader that I could pick up rocks and push brush with without picking up a lot of soil?<br>

I've been wondering why there are 3 different attachment holes for the center link pin on 3 point hitch. Do you need to use a different hole for different implements. On a similar subject, I've been having trouble getting my bush hog adjusted to ride properly. The skids keep wanting to dig into the ground. Any suggestions?

I've seen these mentioned but I don't know what it is. How is it different from a regular loader bucket?

I found a dealer nearby with a JD 950 4WD with loader for 10,500, and a 1050 4WD with loader for 11,500. I'm not very familiar with those models, can anyone give me some info on the specs, and any personal experiences with them? Are they durable or troublemakers?<br>Mike<br>
