I have a JD 4410 with oversize r-4's and last year was my first using it to plow snow on my very STEEP driveway. Last year I had some slipping as I was backing up the driveway in 4wd after plowing down. My dealer does not think he can put on chains with the oversize r-4's...not enough...

I am having a problem with my JD 4410...I cannot tell when I am in 4 WD!! The light on the switch lights up, but I feel no difference and the little 4 WD symbol on the hour meter flasshes on and off intermitingly. The dealer says that there is a problem with a sensor and JD is issuing...

OK...I have read a lot of posts about the dangers of using tractors on slopes. Since I would like to be around for a while longer...can anyone offer advise on what to look for for best stability on hills for brush hogging, snow plowing, hauling logs etc. Do I want bigger, wider tires, filled...

Well, i went to a dealer in western MA who sells bothe JD and Kubota so I was able to drive Kub 3010 and JD 4310 side by side. I really like the small compact size of the JD and the new features of the JD a lot, however, the Kub is about 3,000 less with loader as Kub has a $ 1400 rebate on now...
