Great idea, but how would one seal up the operator station to avoid all the dust, grass clippings, and insect attacks?
Found after market cab, but it costs close to $3,000 even without ac, and have been told by jd dealer it will not seal up like a factory cab and would not keep out dust, etc. Have chronic problems (just getting over sinus surgery), and don't want to spend 3 or 4 thousand dollars and still have most of the problems. Your idea is not that bad. I just have a bad problem that I have had for many years. Thanks!

Dear DennoAce,
Getting the water & antifreeze in without a pump is not very hard. There is a valve (cost under $10) that screws onto the water hose and threads onto the valve stem of the tire. Place the tire so the valve stem is at 12:00, remove the valve core to reduce air pressure. I poured the antifreeze into the hose (hardest part) before hooking up to the water source and let the water pressure push the water and antifreeze in. Replace valve core and maintain normal air pressure. There might be a much easier and better way to do this, but it worked for me and was very inexpensive. Hope this helps.

Going to show my ignorance (again). Is there much difference in the size (not HP) of a 2002 Kubota L4310 vs a 2004 L3430 or L3830? Also are the loaders easier to mount & dismount on the new 30 series compared to the 10 series. Probably dumb questions, but would appreciate some of you experts replying.

The jd4110 replaced the 4100, which is what I have. I put on a FEL and have been able to do anything I wanted to with the 20hp diesel engine & 4 wheel drive. Granted, it might take longer than a 50 hp tractor would, but look at the difference in price for the tractor & loader. I also have a 60" mid mount mower & 4' cutter. I have 4.5 acres & it does fine. Would like an ac cab, but the power might not be enough for that. Considering selling my tractor & getting a larger one ONLY because of the ac. Have chronic sinus problems. Do belive you would be sorry if you buy anything smaller than the 4100 or 4110 for any loader work.

I have the same concers about power. That is why I might sell or trade my 4100, but I hate to do it because it is just the right size and very economical to operate.
Thanks for the replys!
