I have a 4310 with a 61" HD Bucket. I just purchased a JD toothbar for it and when I went to install it I found the fit to be way too tight. To the point it wouldn't fit. I got my grinding out and ground down the plate steel that bolts to the side of the bucket. I also ground down some welding burrs on the corners of the bucket. The plate steel is ~1/2" so taking a little off isn't such a big deal. Now the toothbar fits with a small gap (1/32" gap on both sides). My guess is that JD is marketing a toothbar that is for the skidsteers because the install instructions has there skidsteer models all over it. I did check the JD P/N and it was correct for my bucket plus I saw the toothbar mounted on a 61" bucket a few months before ordering. My concern is when I go to remove it how difficult it will be because of the small gap. Has anyone had to grind there toothbar to make it fit there HD bucket? I must say that this toothbar is very HD and a little overkill for my tractor. I think it weighs in at 120lbs. Works great though!!!
Thanks
