Jeff, I just wanted to let you know how the saga finally played out. After some serious negotiations on my part, and the help of my sales rep, JD has decided to repair my tractor under warranty. I am a very happy man :). It seems that this has happened before, and they were aware of the problem. You might want to keep an eye on your set up. To give you some idea of the hours I've used the mower, I have about 125hrs on my tractor, of that, about 25 are actual mowing hours, and of the 125, the mower has only been on the tractor about 50 hours since it first arrived. Good luck with your unit.

McCarty,

I have a JD4400/HST with a loader and a 60" belly mower. This package does an incredible job on the lawn. My only problem is that when I bought the package originally, the lawn at the home we were in was very open, our new home is an older yard with a lot of trees to cut around. The loader, at least the bucket, needs to be off of the tractor to get around the yard easily when we mow.

I too, like Dave Wells, have the JD pallet forks for my JD4400 w/430 loader. I had considered installing a set of clamp on, or over-slung forks, but decided against it (loss of lifting capability). The forks are a quick-tatch set up similar to the bucket. This set up is so easy to change that my daughters can easily exchange the bucket and forks without any assistance. I paid about $975.00 for my set in October of 2000. We've used them for everything from moving pallets, and logs, to carrying brush.

I too have a JD4400, but on my tractor the differential lock is only engaged as long as I step on the pedal. As soon as I remove my foot, the lock disengages. I mentioned it to my dealer, but he said this was how it was supposed to work. Do any of you notice the same thing? On any of the larger AG tractors I've used th diff stays locked until you either desengage it by hand, or step on one of the brakes. Thanks,

Dennis

Hello, I have a JD 4400 HST/R4's with the 3rd DSCV mounted in the right fender. I've noticed that it does not "return" to the neutral position after it's use. Is there anyone else out there with this configuration, and have they noticed the same thing? Secondly, I've also noticed that the "cruise" for the HST does not hold, but drifts down (slower). Does anyone else notice this?Thank you

Will,

I'm looking for a set of forks for my JD430 loader. Will you check the address you have in your post for accuracy? I tried sending an RFQ to them but it gets bounced back as address not valid or found?

Thank you,
Dennis

Joe,

I was looking at the same tractor (4200) when I first started shopping last June. I've since become the proud owner of a JD4400HST/4WD for the same reasons as the other people responding to this thread. I was after the most tractor I could purchase (HP/weight), without jumping physical size too much. I looked at the available attachments also, namely the 430 loader. I have never looked back on my decision with regret. Good luck in making your choice. If you're looking for a good dealer in the SE Michigan area, send me an e-mail and I'll forward the information from my dealer to you.
