I have over 125hrs on my 4100. I have used a Land Pride 5' with the 4100 on numerous jobs, everything from grading to moving boulders. Never a problem. I even welded a 1

Have you considered a bush hog. You are using a finish mower for some heavy duty work.

Yoshima,<br>This is one of the most helpfull informative sites on the web for those that would like to purchase or use a compact tractor. I would say that many, many, people have made better,more informed decisions based on information from this site. <br>The web master of this page pays close attention to the content of the board and maintains a smooth running site that is always up and running. I am certain the he is aware of all of the rules and regulations which you felt complelled for whatever reason to point out. In closing, your post was pointless.

My first thought is use the 3K as a down payment and finance the rest. I'm not saying you need a compact, but I do know from experience that a budgett beater lawnmower on the two acres you describe is gonna get beat up. Maybe you should be looking at the 300 series or 400 series JD. One thing that I found with three acres is there is always something to do with a tractor. The small one I bought soon after moving was nice to cut the grass with, but failed miserably when I had to remove storm damaged trees from the yard. It did not have the power to really plow snow even though it had a snow blade. I also had a small utility trailer(a must for anybody with a big yard)When I really loaded that up it strained the little tractor on my 20% grade.

Did you adjust the center arm?, it should be able to raise the implement.

Rodney, <br>I have made about 1000.00 dollars in the last month doing tractor jobs with my JD4100. I got the word out just by telling friends and co-workers. I'm not real serious about doing this type of work, I was more or less just trying to get out and use the tractor and get the feel for it. The thought has crossed my mind to run an add in the paper. Good luck!

Sistre,<br>I will try to help, H.P. ratings are determined by the type of work that you will require the tractor to do. The mowing is not an issue for almost any compact can do that. The discing will require the H.P. You may want to check out a couple of discs and look at the manufacture recomended HP. As far as other implements, a loader is great for lots and lots of stuff, get one. Other implements may include something for grading and snow removal, a rear blade is helpfull. I have a York rake that I use on a regular basis also, it can be used for soil prep. or clean up over grown wildlands as well as spreading topsoil and even in driveway maint. Implements make the tractor more and more usefull, the more you have the better.<br>Good luck and have fun.<br>CDF

I have put over 30 hrs on my new 4100 in the last month, It is not jerky in any way shape or form, smooth sailing. P.S. turning brakes are nice at the end of a row or in tight quarters.

James,<br>The 4100 is a fine choice for some and a poor choice for others. What you want to do with the tractor determines what you need.

In my travels I came across a JD 755 hydro with 300 hrs on it. The tractor was 13 years old but it was mint. The tractor came with a midmount mower, and front snow thrower. The owner wanted 10,500. Sounds a little small for you but there out there, Good luck.

Sounds like a $30,000 tractor in your future,(when you consider base price of a 30 horse, hydro, plus implements) maybe the 955 is a good deal based on what you want to do, or money.<br>I put alot of thougt into my own HP requirements, I went minimum of 20 gross HP, how did you reach the 25 PTO HP requirement?<br>My thoughts on hydro - YES YES YES<br>CDF
