Default JD 4300 broken in half
There is a JD 4300 for sale on Ebay that is broken in half. I am posting
one of the seller's photos here so it is saved for posterity. This will be
evidence that you CAN break a CUT in half....probably caused by hoe
abuse.

This tractor has a 4-in-1 and 48 hoe on it.....ITEM #130312019641
Check it out before it is sold and gone.

That's called tractor abuse

The operator of those 4300's probably didn't own them.... and you can tell that they didn't care how hard they worked them.

Did you see the front tire how worn down it is??___

I wonder how many hours they have on them.


Someone already bought the stickers on the hood

There isn't a machine made that can't be broken! It would be good info to have regarding just how the previous abusers achieved those results..

There's a lesson or two there.

dfkrug - thanks for the pics - and the heads up.

That's what i would like to know.... But they must have really worked them hard to get results like that.

I'm glad that he showed the pictures, and it would be a good for a owner of a piece of equipment to check underneath for any cracks.

That's gotta be one nerve racking feeling to be in the seat of a tractor as it breaks on half.

There is no info in the listings about how they were broken, and the
2nd one has no rear at all. Also note the 2nd one sports a brand new
hood, which cost about $300. I just bought mine.

OUCH! I will not sleep tonight seeing those 4300's on ebay.
The one with the loader and backhoe is a good deal at 4000$ plus even if you don't fix the tractor.
