I have recently observed several new compacts 4200 to 4700 on dealer lots in three different states. I was supprised to find many units with the old axle design. If you have a JD product catalogue for 4000 series tractors, look on page 4 at the top view of the displayed machine. Closer inspection reveals one hydraulic cylinder attached to the right front wheel and a tie rod connecting both front wheels.(new design) In a previous version of the same catalog, page 4 displays another tractor (top view) with I think a double acting steering cylinder attaching to both front wheels, with no connecting rod.
I hope this helps. BTW I elected to order from the factory (3 week wait) rather than buying from inventory on the lot.

I,m new to the compact tractor phenomenon and the postings on this board have helped me tremendously to increase my knowledge. I still have a couple of questions regarding safe operation of a compact, implement pricing etc. I read a posting earlier concering the safe operation of a tractor travelling parallel to an incline 15 to 20 degrees max. What are the suggested limits when mowing perpendicular to the slope? Also I quoted a couple of different brands blue and green. Blue- TC29D SS MFWD with 60 inch belly mower, $17200. Green- 4300 MFWD hydro R4 folding rops (with new front axle design) $16925 including 60 mid mower, Landpride 2555 tiller- $2000, Landpride rear blade 72 inch 35 series $1000. Are these competitive prices? Also how effective will this tractor be by using the rear blade to push snow on a paved drive?
