    4310 throttle and 3 pt

    My 4 year old 4310 has 2 simple problems. The throttle and 3 pt slide and will not hold on their own. When new both stayed put after placement. Anyone know how hard and what is involved with tinkering. Any site of adjustment seems to be buried behind cowling, etc. Thanks.

    Bucket level indicator

    Well, I had to twist the arm of the 23 year old daughter in graduate school to believe there really was something called a bucket level indicator. After nearly 3 months of saying that is what I wanted for Christmas, you'll never believe it, she did the right thing and got ol' Dad taken care of...

    Anyone have any experience with this type of attachment? Plastic or metal drum? I have a JD 4310 with rear SCV. Does one hose attach to the dump cylinder or how does it actually work?

    Hydro on rough ground

    Has anyone else had trouble maintaining a smooth speed when operating the hydro on less than smooth ground? I was mowing today and decided to go "against the grain". I mowed across my usual path and was rather surprised to find the ride rather rough. Given the record rain falls here in KC...

    4310 / 430 Loader

    I have had a lot of difficulty from day 1 with the installation of my 430 loader. The plate does not rotate up to lock the loader in place very well at all. I lift the front tires as per instructions. When I pull on the lever to lock the plate it makes a solid metal on metal sound. I have...

    TSC flex harrow

    Just wanted to post that I had a very good experience/result with the Tractor Supply Co flex harrow. I had a 2 acre area to final prep after tilling and this attachment did a great job. Cost is about $350, my JD man had the SAME thing for nearly $500. Tried to rent but couldn't find anything...

    Throttle on 4310

    My 4310 will not maintain a throttle position. If I am mowing the throttle will creep down steadily from about 2200rpm to 1500 rpm. Most annoying as I had to hold the throttle to maintain engine and RFM rpm. I only have 26 hours. Call the dealer or try to fix myself? Any thoughts? Thanks.

    4310 hour meter question

    There are small blinking doodads on the extreme left of my hour indicator when the tractor is running. For the life of me I can't figure out what these are. Is it just an indicator showing that hours are being logged? No info in the manual that I could find. Thanks.

    I match

    I suspect my I match was not set up properly. The ballast box can't be picked up by just backing up to it. I would have to rest it on some blocks to be able to do a simple snatch pickup. This isn't right, is it?

    4 in 1 bucket for 430 loader

    I am beginning to realize that I should have gottent the 4 in 1 bucket for my 4310 with the 430 loader. I got the extra hydraulics installed. I have a heavy duty bucket now. Any one know how much the 4 in 1 bucket costs? Should I keep the HD bucket or trade it in for the 4 in 1? Thanks.
