Philip, I have a 4200 and bought a KK 60" tiller this spring. We have sandy soil on our property, and I've found that the tractor has plenty of power for general tilling of our soil. If I'm not cutting sod, I can till and move at a pretty good clip. I plan on tilling a 12 acre field (currently in oats) to prepare it for pasture later this summer, and have used it to prep/level trails in the woods. When cutting sod, it tends to load the tractor down quite a bit. However, even then it works fine, I just have to move slower. If you have heavy packed clay, you will probably have to move slow, like I do when cutting sod. If you have a loader, the tiller makes for a heavy ballast and works great for breaking up sod, so you don't have to strip it first when excavating. I've been more than satisfied with the tiller. I wouldn't want a smaller one. Go for it!

I did get word back from my JD dealer on replacement of the hydro pedals on my 4200. He said that they did order the new parts to replace both the pedals and the connecting rods to the transmission. They will replace them under warranty. I looked on JD's on-line parts catalog, and compared the parts diagrams for both pedal designs. The new design is quite different from the old one. I am looking forward to getting them replaced. If anyone has not taken advantage of the on-line parts catalogs on the JD website, you may want to check it out. All of the exploded parts diagrams are listed for your tractor (that is if it's a green one). They are a bit clunky to navigate around in, but you eventually find what you're looking for. Happy tractoring!
