Hi,
I went to put my 72" mid-mount mower on my 4310 hydro last night and had a heck of a time. I should have know it was going to be a bad night when I started out by hitting the new garage with the front end loader. Anyhow, I could not get the deck to raise and lower. I tried switching the hydraulic lines around and still couldn't get it to work. I also had a heck of a time getting the yoke (???) on the front of the deck hooked to the front of the tractor. And, there are three holes for the front draft arms (???). My manual says the pin should should go in the front holes, but to mee it looks like it was in the middle hole. I don't have my manual in front of me, so I hope what I am saying makes sense. Does anyone else have the same set up or can you give me any direction on getting this straightened out. The lawn is getting pretty tall now! Obviously, I am going to write everything down so I can remember where everything goes the next time I need to do this. Thanks for the help!

It's definitely stuck! I will call my dealer tomorrow with the kit #. The tractor is also about due for the 50 hour service. Should I have the dealer do this at the same time or is this a fairly quick and easy thing to do myself? Is there any merit in having the dealer do this in case there are warranty issues that come up later? If I have the dealer do this, should I have them look at the mower and loader at the same time? Thanks for the input. This is my first tractor and I have alot to learn.

Thanks for the help. It was the safety switch. I adjusted the seat and it is fine now. Unfortunately, it has been a busy weekend and the rest of May will be the same. So far, I only have 4 hours on the tractor, but I have only been on it half an hour. My father in-law has spent most of the time on it and he really likes it. I feel like a little kid who is not allowed to play with his new toy! Oh well, I am sure I will get tp lay eventually.

Jim,
How do you like your 4310? I just bought a 4310 hydro with 72 inch mid mount mower and loader last week. Should have it have it by the end of this week or early next week. Is there anything I should watch for? I haven't had time to read many messages that have been posted to know if there are any problems.

Thanks for any tips you can give me.

I am interested depending on where you are located. Have you decided what you are asking for it? By any chance, do you have a mower with it too? I look forward to hearing from you.

How is this price. JD 4300, sync reverser, 420 loader, 60 inch mid-mount mower, 450 hrs for 15,900. The tractor was used by a school for mowing an d snow removal. It is only one year old, but they trade in every year. It has some scratches but is not in bad shape. The front tires are a little worn but not horrible. When tires are replaced, can R-4's be put on and fit on the current rims, or do rims also need changed?<br>Thanks for the advice. Dom.

Thanks for all the input. I think I am going pass on the two Fords I looked at (the 1520 and 1720). Based on fe3edback I have received, the prices are a little on the high side. I have looked at the TC 29D and really like it. Asking price is 15,900 with a 60 inch mid mount mower. I am a little concerned that the fenders and hood are all plastic. Has anyone experienced problems with cracking or breaking these parts? It seems that it would be easy to bang into trees and crack the plastic. Thanks again for all the advice. I have learned alot since I first started reading the posts on this site.

Bee,
Could you please give me the name of the dealer in Cambridge? I live near Cambridge and am looking at compacts. I am having a hard time deciding and am making my wife nuts. Thanks.

I'm considering going to look at a demo JD 4400, sync reverser, 4 WD, 290 hrs, and R-4's for $15,500. No implements and 2 year warranty. Is this a good price. I was alos leaning towards a hydro. If the price is right, will I regret no getting hydro? I am not in a hurry a nd am willing to wait for the right buy. Thanks.

Rick,
I used it the day before to mow and have mowed several times with it this season. I checked the oil and it was okay. The oild gets changed regularly, as does the air filter. I also use the tractor during the winter to push snow or pull a small yard trailer with fire wood, so it doesn't really sit much. The noise came from the starter (it sounded like it at least). It did let out a little puff of smoke, so I didn't try it anymore because I was afraid of doing more damage. I don't have the option to use a rope to start it.
I hope this is info will help you point me in the right direction. Thanks, Dom.
