My 4310 now has 26 hours on it. I had a problem early beciuase the dealer could not get the 48 backhoe to mount-turned out to be an install issue-he did not have the right bracket

I had the tilt steering wheel get stuck-dealer repaied it and now I am a little more careful with this feature. Seems when getting on the unit if you pull the wheel you could hose it up.

only other issue, cannot get the backhoe to pull into position to mount using just the three point hitch. it will not raise it high enough to insert the pins so i need to hook the hoses up and use the stablilizers to bump in into position.

I traded a 755 for this unit,much less noise but i am not overly impresssed by the amount of power. on hills the thing seems kinda weak.

No problem with all those switches except finguring out what each is for. Yes I have sprayed them with water but no issues.

Loader mouns easy and like the ehydo and motion match features. Belly mower sounds and works good as does 48 backhoe.

Totals for my setup was 27500-every option, 60 belly,430 loader and 48 backhoe

If I had it to do over, I would have kept the 755, it was a smaller machine but all in all for what I used it for it was a better unit.

Hope this helps.

Dan,

Here is a post from a guy who just got the same 4110 setup,

Just ordered one this week. I have the same setup as you described except that I getting the 61" bucket. The dealer quoted me 16,600 and then we applied the 1200 discount big JD is offering. The total then (not including tax) is 15,400.

Be sure you ask about the big JD incentives. You can find them on the JD website.

I just think if you look at the 12900 number and then take the financing at 5.9 your better off new

Just a quick question, on my 755 I seem to think that I could raise and lower the rockshaft arms aka three point hitch . I think I had down force pressue because I had an auger once and it seemed to press in.

On my new 4310 I have to push the 3 point arms down manually. No way to hydraulically push and I am concerned that they should. I spoke with the dealer and he said a 4000 and large tractors for that matter do not have downforce on the 3 point arms.

Can anyone comment on this? what about all the various attachemends , tiller ,rack I would assume you should have some down pressure.

The dealer suggests that I go to the 48 backhoe, at the top on both sides where the arm pins of the tractor slide in to lift there are two metal brackets-this is on the hoe now. They have two bolts on, if you narrow the gap between the bracket and hoe frame it will lift the hoe up the added 1/4 needed. I have not tried this yet but it does make sense.

As for the lack of control on the downward movement, he really did not give me a good answer-said something about the flow control adjustment.-the way he described it it sounded like the little plasitc tab next to the up down that I normally think of as a guide so you know how low to set the arms. I will let you know if it fixes the problem.

At 29K, I don't plan on using a jack everytime i want the hoe on and off. It should work as advertized.

New 4310 with 48 hoe,loader and 60 deck. Only problem after 7 hours is the rear rockshaft. I cannot get it to lower, only by hand. It will come up fine. Also the 48hoe, was ok taking it off but now the rockshaft will not lift it far enough for me to get the L pins in. I will call the dealer Monday.

Another bitch, when I was pulling away from the hoe,the hose on the hoe got caught on the power beyond bracket and I ended up pulling it off the tractor, lucky they only had one bolt in so the bolt head came off and the bolt turned out. Nee to get that fixed, glad no broken lines

I tried the rockshaft valve in a directions and all the manuals but cannot get the hoe on. Any suggestions

Just off the my new 4310 so here is the first review

Very smooth power

Less noise than my 755

Cuts tall grass without bogging at all ,plenty of power

Much larger and powerful than my 755

Loader detached easy

Backhoe unhooks easy once you figure it out-never read the book so shame on me-it took me a good 20 min

60 in deck belly does a nice job cutting

did not know how to start the mower cutting, need to power down to 1/3 then pull up the front yellow mid pto and then the rear yellow pto knob-then power up to full speed. I had to go to the book for this after 1/2 hour trying on my own . Why do you have to pull both knobs up, I have no idea but I think this could be changed.

Biggest issue so far, I have a large hill and am very uneasy on the new tractor. Felt like I was going to flip once. Yes I was going up and down but as I turned it felt unesy.I was ready to call dealer and ask to trade in for a smaller unit. I guess I will get used to it but I think I may have went to big. The unit is a monster compared to the old tractor. I guess I will see how it is after a few more cuttings.

Switches-I have the ehydo and speed match and cruise. They need to do a better job labeling these switches they are marked but I dont know what the hell they are all for. You think they would have labled them with what they do. 4wheel drive on or off its simple. I guess I need to read the book.

Tilt steering wheel, Sticks a bit. I mean when I go to adjust the wheel there is a lever that you pull toward you. You then adjust the wheel and push forward when you have where you want it. It seem cheap , plastic and looks like it will not hold up.

Body, all fiberglass like most, I think the body could be a little stronger.It flexes when I get on and off-at 180lbs it should not

It started as a simple rebate question, let me end it at that.

The dealer delivered my new 4310 today, backhoe and all. He ended up passing along the rebate and the issue he was having with the backhoe turned out to be a mislabeled bracket that is used to attach the hoe.

The net cost was as follows

4310 $17,200
60mower 2,100
48 hoe 6,100
430 loader 3,100

less trade 10,500 (1992 755 with 340 hours,60 mower,70 less rebate 1,200 loader with 4 wh drive,turf)

Net cost $17,900 Includes 6% tax

The important part, the thing rides like a caddy, very impressed with the ehydo and new controls like speed match, i hitch and the overall build quality. A lot quiter than my 755. Still getting used to the size, its hugh compared to the old 755. I did not know which way to go, at this point I only have 3 acers so the plan is to eventually get into some light landscaping and use the machine. The 755 was good but lacked the size and I felt getting a hoe for it would not allow me to really use it for the future business. I really have to put it to the test when the rain stops here so the next post will be on the 4310 test drive. This site helped me a great deal!

SO the story ends on a positive note.

Now I realize its omewhat inflated but on my ne 4310 with 48 backhoe,4 wheel,hydro,60 deck and 430 loader the difference was 18K that I had to pay.
