WOW!! This thing is great. I didn't mow with it yet but the power is huge with the 430 loader. I can tell that this was a great purchase. More details to follow and hopefully pics.
Details-
4310- ehydro,4x4,R3's,power beyond, 3rd scv with lines on fel,folding rops
430 fel- 61" HD bucket with replacable cutting edge, JD Forks
60" 7iron mower w/ all brackets
imatch/ imatch ballast box
Options- front and rear work lights, brush guards on warning lights, block heater,back up alarm, 7 pin outlet, ATI skid steer adapter plate, MS 460 STHIL chainsaw,kevlar hose covers.
For $24550 in CT w/ tax. I had planed to trade in my 655 with fel but at the last minute I decided againest it. So the total now is a 655, a 1070 and a 4310 and lots of fun.

That sounds great! Is your land hilly? I was working today on a very hilly area and I was amazed how stable the 4310 was on the hills. I fretted about that a lot prior to purchase but it turned out to be a non-issue (although I still am very careful).
I'm curious about the ATI skid steer adapter plate. Does that convert the JD quick-connect bucket to a universal skid steer arrangement? I want to get a set of pallet forks but the JD forks are spendy - I'm wondering if the adapter plate and a set of universal forks would be cheaper.

Actually the plate was pricey at $575 w/ shipping but it is very well made. I have a skid steer and many attachments like a snow blade and a mulch bucket for it so I figured it might come in handy for those two, to be used on both machines. I believe the John Deere forks are $1000, but i got them for $700. So with the plate and the forks for the plate(about $750) I think that you would be better off with the JD forks unless you have a few skid steer implements to use also. I actually ordered the forks before i knew about the adapter so I have a pair just for the tractor now along with the skid steer pair but i guess it can't hurt to have one per machine. Oh yeah I forgot I got the 55 amp alternator too if anyone is intersted. ....

Definitely sounds like you cleaned the store out! ;-) Nice tractor, accessories, and chainsaw. Should still have time for one more grass cut. I have a Stihl O-66 that I have had for about 10 years and it still works and runs great. I am surprised the dealer didn't try to sell you a John Deere chain saw. Can you post some pics of the Kevlar hose covers? Those sound like a good idea! If you are like me, you have either thought about or tried to park it in the bedroom for the night. ;-) Enjoy! ....

The ATI adaptor was priced right and a great option. They build them for most all manufacturers and they only convert to skid-steer type connections from pin type. ....
