I know how you feel, I ordered my 4300 hst on May 15, and was told it was warehoused on 9/10. As of this date I am still waiting, I checked with the dealer on 9/24 and was told that he has been billed for it and expected it this week. Like you I am anxious and hope that the wait is worth it.

I had the same experience, I ordered a 4300 HST on May 15 and was told the same story that it would take from 45 to 60 days. I was told by my dealer a couple of weeks ago that it was due in the warehouse on Sept. 10. I will believe it when I see it, but am hoping for the best.

About 3 weeks ago I ordered a JD4300 with HST, the dealer offered me 2500 trade in on my old harry Ferguson T30 produced in 1951. Tractor is in good shape and still pulls a Rhino bush hog through the toughest material with no problem. Since I have made the deal with the JD dealer, I find that there is a lot of interest in the old MAssey. Can anybody tell me whether the 2500 is a fair price or should I be looking for more. I should mention that there is a lot of interest, but nobody has offered me more.

I went with the Deere because I'm really not in a big rush. I admit I would like to have it earlier but such is life. I agree with you that the NH is an excellent machine and of course more available. The main thing that turned me down was the NH dealer told me to check the weight of both units, and that the NH is heavier. After checking I found that the 4300 was 400 lbs heavier. I did like the supersteer option and would have gone with that. I think the main swing item was the dealer, the Deere dealer wanted to deal. Good luck with your new unit, hope you have years of trouble free service.
