First, you need to contact the JD Customer Complaint Center (CCC) at 1-800-537-8233. You will have to work through the recorded "automated attendant" pushing a series of numbers on your phone to get to the right people. Once you get somebody, let them know you have a "NEW" tractor with chronic problems. Make sure you write down the name of your advisor. They will also issue you a case numer.

******************

Pete - Just to let you know, I did call this phone # and the lady that took the information didn't even want to know all the problems (only the latest one). And, when I asked if John Deere could do anything for me, because of all these problems, such as extending the warranty at no charge, she told me 'no'. John Deere will extend my warranty only if I pay for it. I never even got a 'sorry' or anything. I was not impressed.

So, I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope that this tractor stays working, and look into buying the extended warranty.

Thanks for the suggestions. I do appreciate it.

My 4410 with only 61 hrs died

Hey Chief -

Thanks for asking. Well, other than the original Control Module that needed to be replaced, and the leaking (cut) radiator hose, this spring I also noticed that I had an oil seal leak at the left/rear wheel, and once again the tractor had to go back to the dealership for this to be repaired.
Oh, and I also had a defective Tilt Steering mechanism, that also needed to be replaced.
So, I have definitely had my share of bad luck with this tractor. Although I REALLY like the tractor, I am definitely a little scared of what the future holds with this tractor since I only have 55 hrs on it. It looks like I really got a lemon when I bought this one....

How has your 4410 been for you???

Hi Chief -

Wow, that's quite the job you have!
Best of luck with your 4410. It's a great tractor.
I have used the tractor with the front-end loader several different times now, since taking of the snowblower. I first noticed the oil on the inside of the tire. So, when I found out where the leak was coming from, I counted a drip every 12 seconds or so. But, since it's been parked for a few days since, I noticed one hanging drop (but didn't stay long to watch)
I'm going to hate to have them tear it apart too, but I definitely don't have the mechanical know-how to attempt it myself. Let's hope this will be the last problem for a while! :-)
Thank you.

Hi Harvey -

I have a 4410 too, and just took off the snowblower yesterday and put the front-end loader on for the first time. Can't wait until the ground gets solid enough for me to get out into the woods with it!

Anyway, you mentioned that you can do just about anything with your 4410. Can you tell me what you do with yours? Thank you.

PS - I'm looking into getting a brush hog this summer. and, I got to use the chain-on pallet forks yesterday to move the snowblower that I put onto a pallet. That was some kind of handy!

E9 livin - I too have a 600 foot driveway... :-)
And, I also thought I was accidentally hitting both pedals at once with my boots, so I really took notice after that and determinded that it is definitely the tractor and not me.

Yes, I can imagine that it would wake you right up when the cruise disengages suddenly! I haven't used mine yet, so I'm not sure if it has that problem, too.
If you could please post your results on how your dealer handles the problem, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks and good luck!!

4410 - Another e-hydro problem

Just my $.02 worth, since I don't yet have one, but from what I've read about in doing some research on cutters etc., I'd tend to recommend King Kutter brand for quality and especially price.
Good luck.

$Well, my 4410 is back from the dealership, with a new controller (So far, so good...) and a with a pair of forward mounted work lights on the ROPS (the snowblower blocked most of the light from the headlights). And, I finally got to try it out the other day with 8" of heavy/wet snow. All I can say is that it worked great!!! With a 600 ft driveway, on an incline, and previously only using a plow on my 4-wheeler (it would have been very difficult with this snow) and a walk-behind snowblower, I was very glad that I got this implement for the tractor. Not only did it chew through the snow with no problem, but it threw it much further than my walk-behind could ever do. Plus, I did the driveway in only a fraction of the time. Now, I can't wait 'til next summer to use the front end loader!! :-) - Tim$ First use of front mounted snowblower

Well, I was supposed to have had my new John Deere 4410 (with front-end loader and snowblower) delivered today, but as I was heading out the door to go home and meet the delivery guy, I received a call saying that he had bad news and it wouldn't be coming today. He said that when they were moving it to the truck, they found antifreeze on the ground. Evidently, the fan blade hit the coolant hose and punctured it.
Can someone tell me if this sounds right? I wouldn't think that it would be that tight in there where this could happen.
Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!
