Had the dealer pick it up and fix it again,got a new needle valve and they put the air cleaner on the right way this time along with a pretty good bill and pickup/drop off charge. We keep it in a heated area and if it is not started for a week or two it is very tough to start. It has no power steering and the belt drive can be kind of jumpy. Tried to trade it in an a new one with the injected 700cc but the trade in value was a joke. Got a Kubota RTV 900 last year for another location and couldn't be happier. Power steering ,power dump, 3 speed hydro starts easily even though it is not kept in a heated area. I think it depends on what you need it for , the Ranger is better for severe off road and the RTV is much better for all around work. I did try the Gator and there was no contest agaist the Kujbota, the one we drove was belt drive though.

Thanks for the input!

I also sat in a 3720 Cab today and I really don't remember the series being so small. However the cab has a lot of room for me. Might pull the trigger on this actually - if I can get the monthly to where I would want it.

Here is a link to a couple of used 4310's at a local dealer, and I'm sure they are not in the shape yours is in..... for reference

Thanks a bunch, i reviewed the pricing and so it actually looks like I am close to what mine is worth with the latest offer. I will work on it and see if I can get things a little better for me.
