Personally, I prefer gear transmissions. But I agree with both guys above that you will never notice a couple of horsepower one way or the other. Don't make your decision on a horspower basis. And for sure get 4wd.... particularly if you are going to do some hard pulling. It does make a difference.

There could be lots of reasons for the difference. Less cabable hydraulics would be my last guess. Similar tractors can easily be made to have similar capacities. It is simple to design hydraulic systems and cheap to make them any size you want. First of all, the difference might be just a paper difference. I'd have to see them both lift before I'd believe that much difference was real. And if it was real, I'd begin to wonder if maybe the reason had to do with safety. For example, if you can lift a huge amount with the three point, then you can also lighten up the steering enough to lose control.... frankly, I can't think of a category one 3pt implement that weighs more than 800lbs.
All that having been said, I can remember several times when I could have used more three point lift. Every one of them had to do with drilling a post hole and getting the auger stuck down the hole. But an extra thousand pounds of lift wouldn't have helped....several tons of lift might have. In the end, it was easier to unbolt the auger and back it out by hand.

Go to a store like Radio Shack, they have stero headphone jacks. Run a speaker wire to each of the terminals. When you plug in the earphones the speakers will be disconnected. Directions will probably be included. Simple procedure.

If I were you I'd take the TC25 over the 33 if the 25 had FWD. I have the 29D FWD and it's a great machine. All three 25/29/33 are the same phycial size, the only difference being the horsepower. The FWD is what makes the big difference. I also have the R4 tires. Great machine! New Holland has a great deal on financing for the month of April. Donald

Dave- Well, I can't give you an answer to your question, but I remembered your question when I ran across this information yesterday, so I'll pass it on to you assuming you're still looking for some information and some help. This is from a table of "Basic Dimensions of Some Farm Tractor Tires," all R-1. Loaded radius is defined as "the distance from the ground to the axle center for a tire which is loaded and inflated to recommended pressure." This obviously takes into account the deflection of the tire at the ground, and reflects what the effective circumference of the tire will be as it rolls along the ground. According to the table, an 11.2-24 tire has a loaded radius of 19.0 inches; a 12.4-24 tire has a loaded radius of 20.8 inches. Seems like the 12.4-24 will cover more ground per revolution than the 11.2 will. Whether this is enough of a difference to start giving you a lead-lag problem, I haven't a clue. Interestingly enough, there seems to be only two tire size pairs (within the same rim diameter) which have the same loaded radius. The 13.6-38 and the 15.5-38 (and the pair switch I was interested in for a different reason!) have an identical loaded radius of 28.6 inches. The 9.5-24 and the 11.2-24 have an identical loaded radius of 19.0 inches. I guess if you wanted to change down to 9.5-24's you wouldn't have a problem!! As a general point, the table indicates that changing up or down to the next closest section width within a given rim diameter mostly makes a difference of from 0.3 to 1.5 inches in the loaded radius. Your proposed switch has one of the bigger (although not the biggest) loaded radius jumps. Hope this information helps with your decision.

David, have you tried looking at other John Deere dealers? I don't know where you are located but here in Michigan there are 4200 and 4300's in stock at several dealerships.

4sale 60" mid mount mowing deck. Will fit 755, 855, 955 and maybe others. This deck has less than 5 hrs use and is like brand new!! I bought it from a dealer with my 955 and do not need it. I will sell it at several hundred less than the $2500 a new one cost. My asking price is $1750! Again this deck is as new condition!!!!! Will email pictures if you like. Why buy a new one when you can save hundreds and get one just like new? Location is Brazil, Indiana. To request pictures email me at: Lvis12@hotmail.com

thanks for the link chris (great website)i almost pulled the trigger on that
deal, buying a tractor is almost as bad as buying a car.that quote was for a HST
and no mid mower. for the 4400 with the same options, they wanted 33,000
must be that added surcharge for living in the northeast.

Scott, instead of front end weights, you may consider a frontend loaded. It will provide the added weight you need, plus it's uses are endless! Just one use besides moving dirt/rocks, is that you always have a place to carry anything you might want. I use mine for everything. It helps balance the tractor a great deal. Donald

Guys,
It makes me feel great to see that the Deere 4000 owners have benefited from using the Board. I am sure Deere has benefited also by getting the feedback it takes to make a great Product even better.<Br><br>

Thanks for the comment. One other thing I would like to know is the change in the pump. I don't think my dealer has worked on these units and I am interested in knowing about the pump change over. I might change the front end myself, see how it goes on, can anyone share information about the other changes. In changing this I want to be sure it's right. Spoke to the dealer today and he is contacting the rep. Monday. I do a lot of business with them and feel somewhat confident we can work the matter out. Will keep a post.

Jeff- Given what Mark said about the low and high auction prices for a 2020, and given that a 48 loader sells for $1500 to $2000 around here (SW Wisconsin), $8500 seems a little high for the pair. Someone must have wanted that 2020 with that loader real bad! Hope something else nice comes your way at a better price.

I found a new use for my slip scoop. Going on the comment made by my dealer that the slip scoop is kind of like a wheelbarrel, I used it to hold a batch of cement that I mixed in it. At that point, it was pretty easy to move over to where I was making a step for my deck. I then just hosed things down and had a clean tractor.
