I saw the ad also... could not tell you the brand of tractor it was advertising though. Looked like a compact tractor though.

Bob,

I am not sure if you are just finish trimming or if you are trying to control brush type growth. For the brush type growth,I found that using a weed eater with line just won't cut it. (no pun intended)

I took a 10" edger blade and enlarged the center hole in it so that it would mount on my weed eater. With the new blade on there I can cut just about anything I come up against.

As I only have to clean up the area a couple times a year and it is an area I can't get my 4710 into safely, this solution works out great

Good luck...

aricsmith,

Just a couple items I am finding...

The MX7 is a cat 2 hitch unit. Your 3point has the capacity to lift the unit as it can lift 2500 lbs. and the MX7 weight is only 1332 lbs.

It looks like HP is your issue. The MX7 Minimum Rec. PTO HP is 50. The Min. Rec. PTO HP for both the MX8 & MX10 is 40. (I am looking at pull type models for the MX8 & MX10)

Total weight for the MX10 is 2113 lbs. so you might have some issues on slopes as this is near the max capacity.

Don't know if any of this helps or just causes more confusion.

It isn't that the local dealer would not service the tractor. He is obligated to do so by being a dealer. The issue is what level of priority will he place on servicing it. A unit sold by the local dealer might get in for a needed repair on the spur of the moment. One not sold by the dealer might take a couple of weeks to work in. Most dealers work the same way... take care of your customers first.

Thoughts on 4310 Package Price

The 4710 is here and what a wonderful unit it is. I have only put a couple of hours on it but I am already amazed at the power it has.

I have done some mowing, stump moving and rock spreading. What a joy this unit is to run. Really not much harder than running a garden tractor.

I did have one problem when I somehow managed to unhook one of the locking pins from the FEL bucket. It took some interesting jockying to get the arm lined back up with the pin. Probably due to my lack of experience.

Sure glad I got the larger unit as 10 more acres next to me just came on the market. I might have to consider trading the 6 ft brush cutter for a larger one.

Thanks again for everyones help

Those do sound like fair prices.

I just purchased a 4710 and various attachments. When I went to deal price I asked for the MSRP (You can find MSRP on the Deere web site also) I took MSRP X .825 (17.5% Discount).

Don't know if that was the absolute rock bottom price I could have gotten but I felt it was a fair deal for me.

You also need to keep in mind that a good local dealer can really make a difference down the road. (He needs to make a buck or two to stay in business)

Good luck...

The pond is going to be a big job but I want it done right... Going to go to 18-20 feet max. with the majority being 8-12 feet. I think I am going to try to reuse some of the brush pile that was created when the pond was originally dug.

If anyone has any more info on PHDs for the 4310 I am all ears.

Thanks for the info so far... you guys are great!!!

John
