I have a JD 48 on a 4400. as was stated above it is very easy to hookup. After removing the 3 pt hitch the hoe can be completely hooked up from the tractor seat. It has plenty of power.

What about backhoes

You should be able to get a replacement 12 volt sealed lamp for the light fixture. I did this when I converted my Farmall H from 6 volt to 12 volt.

I was told in November of 1999 that the new 400 series was due out in the spring of 2000. When I checked back this spring I was told that after all the problems JD had with the 4000 series they had decided to delay until the spring of 2001. The dealers should know by now as JD just had there fall meeting with dealers.

Sounds like you had a line break or come loose. The followingpost gives the details on the 50 hour change. Chris

Chris--The JD SOLUTION NUMBER is 44683 and the DOCUMENT ID is LV44683 in which it is indicated that the HST oil change interval be changed to before 50 hours in which the suction screen is also cleaned and the AM102723 Oil Filter is changed and replaced with a larger and more efficient LVA10419 filter, which will be used on all 4200-4400 HST tractors. With the above two sets of numbers, your JD dealer should be able to advise you on the new transmission oil change schedule.

I am looking for a replacement for my JD425 garden tractor. I started looking at a 455. While at a dealer Friday looking at a 455 they had a 4100 setting close by. I decides to drive it and drove it next to the 455. The 4100 is a little larger and costs more, but it is a real tractor with 3 pt, hydraulic outlets, PTO & 4WD. If the 3 pt & pto are added to the 455 the cost difference is not that great & you are still limited to the attachments that can be used. I mow about 3 acres. I do own a JD4400 with loader & backhoe, but it is to big for the areas I mow. Anyone else moved from a garden tractor to a 4100 or similar size tractor for mowing? Chris

Dana my 4400 with R4s is 60" wide. The wheels are in the widest position. If I remember it was 58" with the wheels in the narrow position. Chris

I have a 48 backhoe on a 4400. I have mainly used it to did out tree stumps. As David said it will toss the tractor around. So there is plenty of power. I have never tried to load a truck or trailer with it so I can not speak to that. My biggest bucket is 18". I have been able to dig out every stump I have atempted to and been able to lift them out of the hole. I never had any problem swinging with the bucket full. I do know that if you have alot of weight in the bucket and the boom and dipperstick fully extended it makes the front of the tractor very light. This is with the stablizers down. This is the only time I have felt it was anywhere close to being unstable. I am very happy with my setup. Chris

Dan I bought my tractor in November of 1999. I now have 97 hours on it and the only problem I have had with it was the front axle. I did know about the axle problem before purchasing the tractor, and my Dealer made good on his promise to replace the axle. I also believe alot of the early problems with the 4000 seris was a failure of JD to do proper testing. As to why some owners are having problems getting there tractors repaied. Maybe they did not spend as much time shopping for a dealer as they did shopping for the tractor. I could have saved several hundred dollars from other dealers. I just believed the dealer I did buy from would provid better service, and I have no complants about there service. I believe that the JD tractors being built now are as good as any of the others, and believe that the ease of mounting & unmounting implements is much better than the any of the others. Chris

Tom it depends on how much they are going to charge you per hour. If it is a reasonable rate I would go for it. You have had use of the tractor for a year. Although I have seen posts here where the dealers traded even. Just be sure you are getting a tractor built this year with the new axle. If it would help have another dealer give you a price on trading in your tractor for a new one. The rent should be much less. Good Luck. Chris

Chuck a 4300 with a 48 backhoe could reach about 10 feet out. Or you could find a contractor with a large track hoe. These machines can reach about 20 feet with out any problem. Chris

Ron get the JD48. The 48 has more lifting & digging power than the Woods 7500.
The biggest advantage of the 48 over the 7500 is the ease of mounting & unmounting. The 7500 is a 3 pt or can be used with a sub frame. The 48 is a frame mount and can be installed or removed in about 5 minutes, with one person and all from the tractor seat. This includes removing or installing the 3 pt lift arms, but not from the tractor seat. I have had my 48 since June and I would not trade it for anything. Chris

The best way to set this size truss is with a crane. I have set many trusses over the years the way Halsey recomends by hand, but they were not 42 feet wide. Trusses are not very strong when laying flat and break very easly. Be sure to use alot of bacing. Chris

Jeff I have had my JD4400 with 430 loader since December 1999. the only problem I have had was with the front axle. It was changed in March. I have since add a JD48 backhoe. The tractor now has 93 hours on it. All the tractors being built now have the new front axle and the other problems upgraded. I believe that the reason JD had so many problems the 4000 series was that they rushed them to market without doing the proper field testing. An issue they have learned from by delaying the release of the new garden tractors. As for the New Holland, I did look at them when shopping for tractors. There were just more things I liked about the John Deere tractors, even taking into account all the problems people reported they were at the time. If I had it to do all over again, I would buy the same tractor from the same dealer. Chris
