No real notable changes that I know of - just the hour meter:laughing:
All should come with the DEERE quick attach bucket - not a skid steer quick attach. It's the difference of the Deere being pins vs levers. There aren't as many attachments for it but it is better than nothing. They will change about equally as fast though.

Great tractor.

It does. There will not be nearly as many options, or you will be doing some fabricating. I believe the 4105 runs the 300x loader, not the 400 series loader as well. On the 400 series you have the option for a skid steer quick attach.
I went and looked at the tractor today. It's for sale by a guy who buys and sells used equipment. It's a 2007 with only 120 hours. It was owned by an orthopedic surgeon with a hobby farm, and was stored in a barn. He traded it in to the seller for a larger Kubota with a cab.
Apart from some dirt, it almost looks new. The upper lip of the bucket has a small dent that I don't think is compromising its strength significantly (maybe 3 inches wide, one-half to one inch deep at most- not visible in the picture.
One other small(?) issue. If you look at the picture of the 3ph, in the middle of the yellow circle is a piece of wood that's being used as a temporary plug. The previous owner said he had no idea when or how the plug fell out, but he had ordered a new one and had it mailed to the seller, who hasn't replaced it yet. Does anyone know what that plug is for and if it could have harmed anything?
The tractor fired right up, drove fine, loader worked well, loader arms look strait, etc. I'm a tractor novice but saw no obvious problems. I think the price is very good, and it includes an older but working 5ft Bush Hog brand cutter. Any comments, especially on the plug issue?
Thanks.

Looks like a pretty good machine to me. I would have them fix that one plug - I don't really know what it would be stopping, but would get it fixed. 120 hours is like new too. I'd make him an offer an see where it goes:thumbsup:
The seller told me when the PTO was running the hole would seep a little oil. It did not do this today with the makeshift plug in place, although we didn't run it more than a couple minutes with the PTO on. Seller seems like an honest guy, he pointed the missing plug out to me right away. I probably would not have noticed it.

Tractor looks to be in nice condition but I wouldn't pay much for that bushhog, I would much rather have a better model. Looks pretty flimsy.
Yeah, the bush hog is an afterthought. It's included in the price of the tractor. I plan on getting a 6ft anyway as I'm only cutting grass/weeds.
I do think the tractor must be a 2008 thought. JDs website says they started making them in 2008. Maybe the guy bought it in late 2007?
2011 units have a one piece hood making the need for a flip down style hood guard a requirement. Earlier units had multi-piece hood and the hood guard did not swivel down.

Good news. A tachometer with that new/low hour of a tractor won't be much of an issue. All it does is read the hours so I'd be more concerned on a 20 year old machine wondering if it had 1,000 or 10,000 hours, that low though I don't see that as a worry. Hopefully you can get something done soon!:thumbsup:
Tractor en route! T-minus 20 minutes.
I'm pretty sure that means you got it if so, congrats!
Be sure to post pics when it lands
