Handy as a Shirt Pocket!
Model Year: 2003
I absolutely love my JD 110 TLB! I have used it to dig ditches, install french drains, repair septic system, dig stumps, tornado disaster clean-up, grade roads, clear lots, bush hog-6ft, tillage-7ft, soil prep with a 5 shank heavy chisel plow, etc. It has been a very dependable machine and it surprises people when they see what the small machine will do. Some if the things that sold me on the 110 when I was looking are: compared to others the machine is just plain beefier and more construction grade (just look at stuff like the cylinder shaft eyes, the tie rod ends, robust front axle, and beefy rear end, etc), I like the 2 pedal hydro. I like the HEAVY 4 in 1 front bucket and will never have another tractor without it because I use it all the time, ergonomics are great on the loader joystick with the thumb buttons to operate attachments. I really like the creep to position. This is awesome for when you are digging out a huge stump and have to re-position yourself around to get all the roots and you can just drive it around from the backhoe position, I like how the machine is heavy; puts power to the ground. Three things I could see some improvement in design would of course be a spinning seat, machine is heavy and you can tell it struggles some up steep hills so maybe a bigger drive pump. Think the front wheels /tires could have easily handle the next size up to help spread ground pressure out a little especially when doing heavy FEL work. Overall, I am happy with machine.
Pros: Construction grade, heavy, ergonomics, great valving on BH and FEL, dependable-few repairs.
Cons: Flip seat, kinda slow for road traveling.
