Well, I agree with everyone on this subject. If the sheer pin was working, you would have avoided this problem. However, the real problem is the cutter. A good cutter is an investment that pays for it's self over time. You can get a jd (heavy duty) cutter or a rinho (heavy duty cutter) for about $1500 dollars. Make sure your cutter comes a clutch on the drive link and heavy duty gear box. No need for shear pins and you wont tear the thing up. I learned this hard way by buying three new drive links and a gear box for a Dale phillips cutter. Good Luck

Eric,
I bought a 4600 about a year ago and I HAVE had my share of problems. First major problem was with the fuel injection. For some reason the tractor would lose power in the c gear,,,mainly in the high gear. The tractor would almost come to complete stop even though the rpm's were plenty high enough to push the trator down the road. The dealer had the fuel injection pump rebuilt,,,it kinda of fixed the problem,,,,but it's still sluggish and does not run like it did the first day I brought it home. My second problem delt with the hyd pump that worked my loader,,,the pump blew a seal and had to be rebuilt. The third major problem deals with the front axel. The tie rods that connect the front wheels to the power sterring unit tend to break. After the second time, I notice that the design on the newer models had been re-enginerred. It seems jd deere discovered this was a problem early on. I wish I had disvoverd this before I purchased my tractor. I have also noticed that jd might be having a problems with there parts suppliers. I have already bought my share of parts and for some reason the parts I get are not the same as what came on the tractor. They work, but the look totally different! I am thinking really hard about my current situation and might just jump ship and get a kubota. Phil
