I can buy a 2003 4410/r4/430fel/72mmm/rear blade /ehydro/140 hours for $17000 in great shape. Private seller.<br>
<br>
Or I can buy a 2005 3520 ehydro/300cx/3rdscv/72mmm/r4/200hrs for $20500. Out of town dealer.<br>
<br>
Or I can buy a brand new 2005 3520 with same options for $23900. In town dealer.<br>
<br>
Am leaning towards the 4410 due to price. Any opinions? I know the 3520 has a more durable final drive.

How about spraying a skim coat of 1"-2" of foam right on the wall? The contractor will already be out there spraying the whole house and rim joist with a one inch skim coat, and I could have him spray the concrete walls, and them I could frame next to the foam. I think he charges around $0.40 per inch of foam per sq ft. This would be for the open cell foam. I know the closed cell foam would have a higher Rvalue, but costs quite a bit more. I already have 1" greenboard on the outside of these basement walls to help with condensation and give a little insulation.

Thanks for the advice. This tractor is set-up with all mounts and hydraulics, etc. I am leaning towards the 3520. I have a hard time justifying spending this much on a tractor, when I grew up driving 2wd Allis D-17's and D19's with slow hydraulics and slipping hand clutches. But the tractor is also a toy for this big boy, and I would like to do all my lawn prep and landscaping myself. Was also looking at a 2000 4300/4wd/hydro/72mmm/430fel, but that dealer wanted 16800. Way overpriced. For a few thousand more, I can have an almost brand new machine.

If you are blading snow on a gravel road, take a length of pipe, cut a slit in it lengthwise, and slip it over the bottom of the blade. Will do wonders to save your gravel road.

I am negotiating a 2005 JD 3320/hydro/4wd purchase for around $15500. (100hrs) It has a 3rd scv and I wanted to convert my old 3pt posthole digger by changing the bracket to mount on the FEL and rigging up a hydraulic orbit motor to spin the auger. Has anyone tried this and I wonder if the hydraulic output is strong enough to warrant this modification. I like the post hole digger on the loader for good down pressure, and easier to line up for digging holes. A lot of this depends on what size hydraulic motor I use, and if the gearing is workable for the rpm and power of the motor.

Thanks everyone for the info. I found a dealer who rents 2005 3320's with 4wd/ehydro/r4 to a school system every 6 months. The school uses them for mowing or pushing snow. He sells them with about 100 hours/6months old for about $15500 for the tractor, $2000 for 300x loader, and $1500 for 72"mmm. I may have him save one for me for next March. This seems like a much nicer deal, and I like the look and options of this model compared to 5yr old 4300.

What is a good website to look up the market value of this 2000 4300? Dealer is quoting market value prices from an Outdoor power and equipment resource publication. Stating 2000 JD 4300/4wd/hydro with 72"mmm is worth $15200. Seems overpriced. Isn't there a website similar to Kelly Blue Book for tractors, etc??

I am still negotiating buying a 2000 4300 with turf tires and 72" MMM. Can I swap the rear tires, right for left to make the tractor wider and still stay under 72" of width so I can use the MMM efficiently? I would like it to be just a little wider for all the hills and slopes I might have to mow.

Thanks for the info. I was quoted $3000 for 300x/61"bucket and $3500 for 300cx. I would have to install the FEL. The hydraulics and controls are already on the tractor. I have a hard time paying an extra $500 since the loader will mainly be for light grading/landscaping/manure. I offered $13300 for the 2000 JD 4300 with 600 hrs, and the dealer was disappointed, and wants around $14500. Tractor is in excellent shape and the dealer offers great service. Unsure if I will end up with this unit.

Besides looks, what are the differences between the new jd 300cx quick-tatch loader and the previous 430 model? I would be buying either to mount to a 2000 JD 4300.

I will demo the unit first. I was considering a 2210/2305 and this 4200 is so much more powerful on the hydraulics/3pt/loader that I may not miss the extra hp that a 4300 would offer. I here the 7iron 72"mmm cut real well, and that is a big concern.

The dealer has it listed at $16500. I have a hard time believing they would sell it for $13000 with cash. It has sat on the lot since august. How much do dealers typically mark up their units?

Am curious if either machine is available with a remote hydraulic coupler to run a hydraulic post-hole digger that bolts to the FEL bucket. The motors for these augers need 5gpm to 10gpm. I am wondering if the pumps on these tractors are two small to run such an item. They are used all the time on skid loaders. I like the idea of down pressure and easy sighting while using the loader, as I will be digging a ton of holes for posts, and for planting trees/shrubs.

Regarding hydraulic post-hole diggers, I am planning on buying a compact tractor with FEL, and have to dig a lot of holes. I like the idea of using the FEL for down-pressure. Can I buy one that is made for skid-loaders, and adapt it to any FEL? Would the john deere 2210 or 2305 have the ability to add another hydraulic outlet to run the digger? Would there even be enough hydraulic flow (5gpm) with these units? Or should I look into bigger tractors, like the 2520 or 3000 series????? I have no idea how much these diggers cost, and how much it would be to add the extra hydraulic outlet.

I may have to wait a year to buy my subcompact, and I have a larger tractor with 3pt hitch, and no loader. Is there an inexpensive 3pt attatchment that can be used to carry landscaping rock/dirt/mulch (vs my wheelbarrow)in the meantime?

What do you mean by position control? The old allis chalmers I used to drive on the farm had up, and down, and could actually float up as you were blading. I understand the teeth in the box blade would help keep it digging. I asked the John Deere dealer about position control, and he said the 2210/2305 act the same as the bigger tractors, but you can't adjust the speed at which they raise/lower etc. Maybe he didn't know what he was talking about. I guess I don't totally understand position control. Do all 3pt hitches float up as the terrain changes? Or do they stay locked in one position, like the loader would?

I am contemplating a JD 2305 (24hp). I will be mowing 3 to 4 acres of lawn with broad hills, and will have to mow around trees and next to fences, etc. Would I be happier with a rear-mount 72" grooming mower, that would have rear-discharge, so I could trim on both sides? Or should I buy the factory 62"mmm with side-discharge? I am concerned I will be unhappy always turning around to watch the mower.

Found a nice D-15 with 3pt and few dents, wide front, power steering for around $3800. Always wanted a D-15, would use it for bush-hog, post-hole digger, dirt work. Is this a good price? Anyone had poor luck with the D-15?<br>
Any advice on the old allis loaders, with gravity dump bucket? Are they worth using for dirt work?<br>

For the price, wouldn't you consider a 2305 with 62"mmm?
I see JD also has several front mounts, diesels, with 4wd. City crew has one, and they are built on the same frame as the 585 (just turned around end for end).

Just sat on the new 2305. Lots of legroom, looks a lot more modern than the outgoing 2210. Base price is cheaper than 2210, but no incentives or discounts right now. I was very impressed. Will do a demo later, and will probably buy with 62 MMM and 200cx fel.
