Topic

Thanks for taking the time on the very comprehensive (and educational) reply - lots to think about. I need to sit down and do the mapping of the way my 4410 is set up, as well as what I'm trying to achieve - TNT and any future e.g. backhoe. I don't want to spend huge $$ on getting this all done, but, like you I don't want to wind up with a kluge. I'll update this thread this progresses - I'm sure there'll be a lot of wrinkles! Thanks again.

Yes - it would seem that JD were at risk of a fall if they made a setting available which their engineering design didn't support. I'll still make the point with the dealer that I'm aware that the stresses are higher the way he's going to set the track - at least I'll have the comments on record if ever there is an issue.

I do have a separate question on varying rear grader tilt - vertical plane. As mentioned above, I'm buying a rear grader which is manually adjustable for offset (L-R) as well as for tilt. I figured that with sloping land this would allow me to e.g. cut tracks which were level, even with the tractor on a slope. However, I've been reading elsewhere about a top and tilt hydraulic control (from Integration Engineering) for the 3ph. This seems to be a much superior answer to my tilt needs, but I can't find any indication of price. Does anyone have any idea of a ballpark $ figure - failing that I'll call them direct, just a bit awkward given the time-zone difference.

Once again, thanks all for the help.

Thanks for that comment, and to all others who responded in this and other threads - I've made the decision for a 4410/430/4-in-one bucket - around $US28K all up - on order last week, for delivery in 4 weeks or so. Longer term view of possible need for the extra grunt at some time was a key factor in my decision. Dealer came down a little more on price, and treated me very well during the decision - including coming onsite and walking the property with me to advise re slopes etc. - great service, which I would expect to continue post-purchase.

Thanks for the clarification - I haven't seen a grapple, and the picture made it look as tho there was a solid bottom bucket. Seems like I could use a large number of attachments, I guess that's the beauty of having a CUT - your inventory sounds great. I'll add pieces over time but for the moment need to get the heavier stuff under way. I've got a contractor working on major landscaping right now - using a Komatsu 4 wheel loader with a 5 ton bucket - but when he's done there'll be a lot (months!) of finishing off to get to lawn, shrubs, trees planting etc.
