Today I heard the same thing about a fix in February. "JD is aware of the problem and is working on a solution, possibly a new front axle. They expect this to be ready around February of '00." While I did not hear of how this will be applied to existing equipment, I trust they are working to a reasonable standard of care and are reasonable people.

As an explanation of the problem for those who don't have it, the front of the tractor will push when turning at a moderate radius or at a tight radius. While the condition gets worse as speed increases, it will occur at dead-slow, forward or backward, uphill, downhill or flat. It is also worse if there is an implement on the 3-pont that tends to want to make the tractor go straight.

Any thinking person who has seen the problem first hand knows this is not an operator error.

In the meantime, I have gotten really good at using the turning brakes. This took a while and I had a couple debilitating bouts of pedal confusion. I think, however, this is ok for now. I have wondered if adjusting the tie rods to a little toe out would help. Has anyone tried this?

Lighthearted color sparring is fun. When it goes beyond that, our little community here is weakened. Thoughtful consideration of a neighbor's problem would be more productive.

I wanted to clarify what is happening with my 4400HST as it is pretty minor. <br>I am doing lots of mowing so I try to be really gentle with this new machine. As I slow the machine down and lift my foot off the forward pedal, most of the time the pedal follows my foot up. But once in a while it sticks down for a short time, then pops up to my foot or comes up against the stop. This brings everything to kind of a sudden stop. <br>In my case, this problem is not a

I have nothing else to complain about. I probably like working with the Deere a little too much. I have been neglecting other jobs�.
