Just bought a new/used 51" broom for my 4100 hst. I am having some trouble installing the long driveshaft that hooks up to the mid PTO. The shaft runs at an angle from the left side at the front to the right side at the mid PTO. My question is that I cannot get the shaft the go up high enough to hookup due to a fixed steel hydralic line that is right in the way. Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else experienced this? The local John Deere has never sold a broom or snowblower so he wasn't sure. He suggested to bend the line, but I don't think that should be done. Also I took the broom apart to check it all out, it was only used during the demo when it was originally purchased. It all looks very new. But I noticed that in the middle where the 2 broom meet there is a gear box. This box has some serious wear from the brissells rubbing. They have already worn the bolt heads almost in 2. This is from only a short time, maybe a couple of hours use. What could be wrong? There really are no adjustments. Should I build a steel plate to protect the gearbox? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I just bought a 4100 HST, DSCV, Turf, 413 rotary cutter, 5 weights and a 48" befco box scrape with tax for $12,890. The rotary cutter and scrape were about $1500. The dealer told me that he would install a FEL for $2300 and a 60" mower for about $1200. Working backwards your price would be around $14,900. So that is in the ballpark for what you paid. As for the trailer, you NEED the tandom and it needs to be fairly heavy duty with brakes. I pull mine on a 16' and you have to be careful that the weight is over the axles and that may mean that you have space in the front of the trailer but hanging out an implement over the back. Hope this helps.

My 4100 has turf tires. There is about 1 inch clearance when using the implements. The problem is when transporting the implement in the full up position, then the arms bump into the tires. The problem was solved by reversing the 3ph pins to the inside on each implement. Now there is about 3 inches of clearance.
