john deere 4100

I got a 4100 with 410 loader (52" bucket??) this past summer and would like to know if there is a proper weight that I should look for as a ballest (is that spelled correctly?) weight. I have R-1 (Ag.) tires and plan on using this for "clean-up" snow removal (after the 1972 Blazer/plow) and...

Looking to add light kit on John Deere 4100 I'm thinking about adding some lights -typical automotive PIAA type lights (maybe 50 watts 4amps each) or something small like that. On my JD 4100 I see some unterminated connectors coming out from the bottom of the ROPs, are they for the actual John...

Hey can anyone give me any info on how the curtiss cabs fit on the JD 4100? Do you have to remove the handles on the fender? Does the rear window open? If not can it be made to open without damaging the rear panel? In the winter, is the hard cab better than the softcab as far as not having...

I have been looking at a used 4100 with mid mount mower and 410 loader at a local dealer. It has 750 hrs and has been very well taken care of. His price is 12,300. What do you think of this??? Good or to high for this package!!! <font color="green"> </font>

JD 4100 60\" MMM Deck Height Latch Does anyone have pictures of the Deck Height Latches for a 4100? I believe the latches are simply chains. My thoughts are if the latches are simply chains of certain length. I can make them as long as I know exactly where they attach. I am having trouble...

My local JD dealer, whom I bougt my 425 from, has a 4100 with loader,mmm,front snowblower, front blade, extra set of tires and wheels, and trailer with only 165 hours, for around 17-18k. I have a ford 3000 and have used a friends JD 855 with loader and tiller a few times, which spoiled me. I...

I saw a picture of someone's ("kennyd"('s) ?? ) 4110 with a JD cup holder on their fender and decided to do the same. I put the cup holder in the same spot on the right-hand fender, but had to remove the seatbelt holder/clip (where you put the seatbelt when it is not in use). In the picture I...

I am looking at purchasing either a 7500 new ($12,950 w/FEL) or used JD 4100 ($ 13,000; 250 hours, 60" MMM, FEL, turf tires, great shape). The new seems like the better deal, especially with 0% financing, but what is your opinion? Are these fair quotes?

I am toying with the idea of selling my JD 4100 HST, with a JD 261 rear-mount mower. I only have 65 hours on it and like it, but I could really use a backhoe now and think the BX22 might be a possibility. Given that the tractor is mint and has only been used for mowing, what do you think I could...

Anyone looking for a little JD out in Calif? Just spotted this 4100 (4wd, turfs, 91 hours, no loader, gear, 60" MMM) with a "buy it now" of $4500 and no reserve. Have no idea who the seller is or what going prices are - but this sounded pretty low since I have just been pricing used lawn and...

I called my local dealer today asking about a BH for in my case, the 4100. and also the 4110. He said they have not seen one yet but thought JD is working on it to be competitive wth Kubota. It will be a BH specifically designed for the 4100/4110. People that have tried to use the larger BH...

I just bought a JD4100 (Year is a 1998) at an auction and I was and I'm touching up the paint. But buying JD paint is lighter green then whats on my tractor. The JD can # is TY25309 green and TY6563 Classic Green. Back in 1998 did they use a darker paint? Thank's for any help you can give me.

I found a used JD 4100 hydro with only 149 hours that had been traded in for a 30 hp. The tractor price is $11,000 which included a 60'' drag finish mower (Befco) and a 410 loader. Is this good or bad price thanks

Greetings everyone! I am in the process of shopping for a used JD 4100 to replace my current JD 316. The 316 is a great tractor but just not big enough for my needs. I finish mow about 3 acres and remove snow from a 50' gravel driveway. While it handles the mowing fine, especially with a...

Yesterday,while I was mowing my neighbors lawn the hood on my JD 4100 started flapping up and down. This is not a normal thing to happen. I had just changed the oil a couple of days previously and thought, well, maybe I didn't latch it properly or something got stuck to prevent it from...

Does anyone know where I can buy a new JD 4100 w/ hydro,410 fel, 54"MMM, R4s? I live in Wyoming so closer is better! Thanks to anyone who respones for your time. noelmsn@hotmail.com

I have a 2001 JD4100 and am having trouble keeping the tilt adjustment tight on the 3PH. It has the turnbuckle barrel and at the bottom there's nut with a piece of rod welded across one of the flats. I adjust the tilt so the 413 cutter is level from side to side. then tighten the nut against...

I have a 4100 and am wondering why it does not need/have glow plugs. Last fall before I bought the JD I borrowed a NH of similar size and it did have glow plugs. Just wondering why the difference. The folks I know with diesel trucks all have glow plugs. No complaints, just looking for an...

Has anybody heard any negatives about the 4100 JD with a 410 loader? Specifically, it looks like not much really holds the loader onto the brackets. The local JD dealer said that I should avoid the 4100 because he had had a few "problems" with them. He didn't go into details, but he hinted at...

A friend may be getting new JD soon. Wondering if the new 4010, 15, models are better or worse than a 4100? What are your opinions? Why is one better or worse? thanks,

Talked to a JD dealer today and I asked him to give me a reason (s) why i should spend the extra money on a 4100 vs B7500HSt Here are the things he mentioned . The left and right rear brake control are on the left and are usable. compared to the kubotas. JD has direct fuel injection and the...

We are going to buy a compact tractor. Heard that the 4100 has an alum rear end and this can be a problem esp if you want to put a backhoe on it. I wonder if it is weak, then is there the real potential for problems down the road from anything on the rear - tranny, three point hitch, etc.

My father wants a new tractor and has found it difficult to find a 4100 as the supply is low and being replaced with new models. What is his best bet? What is the difference between 4100 and new models?

I have a 2yr old JD4100 with loader. What can I do to dig holes besides a shovel and sweat? Is there a solution considering the 4100 does not have a backhoe? thanks,

I was told the 4100 with turf tires cannot accept chains. Is anyone running chains on their 4100 and if so what brand and type of chain??? The rear looks to be about 2 inches from the fender support at the closest point. The front tire is close to the steering tie rod end and other mechanism...

Been working on this project for a few weeks - fits and starts. My neighbor is helping with the welding, fabrication, and hashing out of ideas. The toolbox is mounted to 1 1/2 in aluminum angle. This was a bit of pain to mount. The 4100 does not have much room to mount a toolbox. I was going...

(I posted this to "JD buying" also) I am purchasing a 4100. I have read several vague references to "problems with the 4000 series". Would anyone care to share first-hand specific problems they've had with the 4100 model, and include the resolutions provided by your dealer. I also would be...

I went to look at JD tractors yesterday and am leaning toward the 4100. I've never owned a tractor so I'm not sure whether it will do what I need it to and/or what attachments I'll need. I could use some advice from "seasoned" tractor users. I have 6-8 acres of apple orchard to cut. Waist...

I just bought 30 acres, I will need to mow 5acres, I will have a 100ft drive, I live in MI.I will also be doing some landscaping. I think I would probably want a fel, backblade, and a 4ft to 6ft bushog.Which one of these tractors would be the best choice? As far as price is concerned I can get...

I am interested in getting a rear snowblower for my JD4100. I am wondering what size and brand I should get. And what is the price. Thanks.

I want to purchase a compact tractor and have narrowed it down to the JD 4100 HST and Kubota B2410 HST. John Deere seems to have the name and a great reputation and Kubota seems to have a great satisfied customer base. I know this is a Kubota page but think many of you have deliberated between...

Ok I think that I am real close to getting my new tractor finally. BUT I still can't make up my mind on these 2. They both have hydr. and loaders. But the jd has 40 hrs. on it. It still has full warranty on it. But there is something about having a brand new one. I really like both of these...

Great site! I am new to the country life and everything that goes with it. Was able to buy this coool shovel for the driveway though. Hope to learn a lot of the "tricks-of-the-trade". Keep up the good work everyone...Steve in Rhode Island

In cold weather 0-20 degrees, how long once starting my jd4100 should I let it sit and warm up? It is in shed so I usually have to back it outside immediately after starting so I don't die of smoke.

I was trying to find out how hard I can pull using a 5/16 chain behind my new 4100 using the drawbar? For pulling small trees out of the ground? Can I leave a little slack and drive away and "pop" the tree out? Is it better to take up slack and go slowly? I tried going slowly and got wheel...

The kubota controls appear not well thought out. Foot controls appear an afterthought. Why is weight of kubota lighter? Warranty seems not as good? Am I missing reasons to buy the kubota over the deere?

I am in the process of buying a JD4100 with 54" loader and ballast box in rear, 60"deck. To remove snow how is using the loader? What is best technique? What is the best low cost easy to adapte way to do this? I also want to grade my 600ft. gravel driveway. Thanks

I will be mowing about 3-4 acres, mostly open and want to remove snow from about 600ft driveway. Other uses around the home will vary. What is the best tractor for around 15k? Kubota vs. Deere, what is the best?

I was just wondering whats the Kubuta model thats comparible to the 4100. PLOWER

I am looking for a replacement for my JD425 garden tractor. I started looking at a 455. While at a dealer Friday looking at a 455 they had a 4100 setting close by. I decides to drive it and drove it next to the 455. The 4100 is a little larger and costs more, but it is a real tractor with 3 pt...
