I tried a search on this, but came up nil... I have a 4110 hydro with a 410 loader. The loader was operating normally, then, as I drove into a pile of gravel, I found I could not raise it. I was able to curl the bucket, dump th eload and back away, but the up/down function is inoperable. I...

Well, I have had my machine for close to a month now. I think it is really great except for two idiosyncracies: 1). When you turn the wheels all the way to the left, they rub on the backhoe mounting bracket. I can fix this easilly enough with a grinder, but still... 2). When you turn the...

I posted pictures in the photo section...

Is -7 degrees today. Dealer had it sitting in his UNHEATED warehouse and it FIRED RIGHT UP! so much for diesels beinh hard to start. Dealer said this is the first 4110 they have installed a backhoe on. The backhoe, power-beyond and ROPS extension have been ordered. He said it should be...

Are John Deere\'s Implements Made In The US? I know the small utility tractors are made in Japan, but I was just wondering about the attachments likes hoes and loaders?

Anyone have this? The dealer offered it to me for $169, w/a $500 deductible. I am just wondering if I should keep everything w/ Deere instead of some third party, ie; my homeowners???

Hello, JD dealer called me this morning and said he took in a 2002 4110 4WD, hydro, r1's and 410 loader in trade over the weekend. He said it has less than 50 hours on it and is in like new condition. I had him figure in the payment for 60 mos. on the used vs. new w/ imatch, ballast box...

Fellow TBNers; I was wondering about etiquette when comparing quotes from different dealers? Dealers A, B & C are all within $150-$200 of each other. I purchased my garden tractor from Dealer B, but his is the most expensive quote. Should I show him the quotes from the other two dealers...

Hello, I called my local JD dealer and he faxed me a quote: JD 4110 hydro, industrial tires, loader, hoe, loaded tires, grill guard, ballast box, work light and block heater for $20, 743. I was just wondering if this was ball park to what you guys are paying. Thanks in advance, Tombo

OK, I don't know much about tractors, so this may be a silly question, but... I went to the Agricultural Trade Show in Augusta, Maine last week and saw a 45 HP 4WD Massey Ferguson with Shuttle Shift and no loader for the same price as a tiny Farmall DX24 hydro with a loader. Does hydro and a...

Hello, I received two quotes today from local dealers on a B7610 HSD-F w/LA352 loader, one with a B/H 7500 or B/H 6500 Kubota backhoe and the other w/a 7.5' Woods hoe. Dealer #1 said I can have any tire choice for no extra money. I forgot to ask Dealer #2. Dealer #1 with Woods hoe: $21500...

My brother-in-law has the new 43 HP L-Series Kubota (4330 I think) with a skid-steer-type bucket and a Woods backhoe. Will these attach to an L 3130? I am thinking that if he wants me to help him with logging, I might want to borrow his stuff instead of buying my own. We were talking about my...

Hello, Been lurking about and doing some research and have become a little confused in the process. We live on 4 acres, mostly wooded with some lawn and a long driveway. Mrs. Tombo said I could go ahead and get a new toy, er tool to landscape, haul out firewood for the fireplace and do...
