Bruce - My JD 4500 4x4 entered the shop last week for the axle replacement. The issue of scuffing was not my major concern, but the R4 tires are wearing badly on the inside with only 67 hours on the tractor. Randy

Tom, I have really enjoyed the 4500. The loader has been used extensively in preparing the subgrade for a new barn (excavated and filled about 300 yards of sandy material. The 4500 has plenty of power and surefooted in 4 wheel drive. Since it has finally rained in Texas the rotary cutter is being used more. The only issue I have had is the fogging dash which the dealer is going to replace when the mowing season is over. I haven't decided about the axle replacement, since the strength of the double hydraulic cylinders appeals to me. However the tractor does scuff when mowing, particularly with R4's. The tractor presently has 60 hours on it.
