4310 Upgrades, before they run out...

One thing I noticed. The TEN tractors have Isolated Operator's Stations. I don't recall this ever being mentioined. I have heard of folks who thought they were cheesy because the floor "flexes" when they are mounting the tractor.

Mike, folks used to say that about Kubotas because of the rather large rubber isolated work platform. It does a great job of isolating the vibrations created by the diesel engine. I found when I jumped on my International, you could feel the engine all the way. I suppose there are folks that will argue that is a good thing, I really like the isolated station. Now whats with all these bent lines your talking about? I'll have to crawl under a JD 4310 to see just what your talking about. If it's anything like the JD 110, body armour should come standard. I have never seen a tractor like the JD 110 where so many hydraulic lines are begging to be removed.

Mike,
Now that you've installed the skid plates, do you think they would be compatible with a mid-pto and mid-mount-mower? I've always considered getting them for my 4400, but it spends a lot of time with the mower on. I don't want to have to remove skid plates to attach it.

I don't have a mid mower. But I see NO WAY thet the plates would interfere! They really did an amazing job covering things, but still leaving full access. Of course, check with your dealer to be certain!
