4410 purchase

[Anonymous Poster]

I'm working on trading my 4310 for a 4410. Wanted a hoe and a bigger deck so I decided to trade. I have it configured pretty much the way I want it. Should be ready by early July.

I got the:

4410 e-hydro
R4 tires
Cruise and speed match upgrade
engine heater (no pressing need but thought it might extend engine life)
all the work lights
55 amp optional alternator

72 MMM with extra set of blades and belt

430 Loader with 73" HD bucket

48 Backhoe with 14" HD bucket

Couple things I'm debating.

I always thought I had the 62" standard bucket till now and just realized it was the 73" standard. I asked for a HD bucket and he said it would be the 73" HD. I asked him to change it to the 62" and that is when I found out what I currently have. I thought the 73" sounded too big but here I was using it all along. I got the loader over a blade since I can do more with it around the house. Does anyone who as the 62" wish they had the 73" and vice verus?

The 48 hoe comes with a 12" standard bucket. I wanted a HD bucket. Closest listed to 12 was 14 and that is what I requested. I was thinking about getting two but thought I could get by with one for know. Most of my work will involve projects around the house but no high volume digs. Does this sound like a nice size for this work and the 48?

I asked for R4 tires. I have been presented with two options.

R4 Front 27x8.5-15 Rear 43x16-20
R4 Front 25x8.5-14 Rear 15-19.5

Is there a combination here that most go with.

This time around I requested the HD bucket for the 430 loader. My current 430 loader has a standard 73" bucket. I had always thought I had the 62" bucket. My quote includes a 73" HD bucket.

I got a 4410 with a 430 loader and a 61" HD bucket. There are times I wish had gotten the bigger bucket, but I am extremely happy with the 61" HD. I can lift way more than the manual says it can and that makes me very happy cause I can get things done much faster. I do think sometime in the future I'll get the 73" HD bucket, but I'll have to wait until I can justiy the extra $700 for it. I have the 25x8.5-14 and 15-19.5 tires. Both front and rears are 6 ply, the others that you mention are 6 ply front and 4 ply rear, however they are just slightly larger tires. I guess what you want is really based on what you need. I wanted a heavy-duty tire, if you don't require a heavy-duty tire then you could get by with 4 ply, however I wouldn't reccomend it.

Thanks for the feedback. Here are my tire options.

R4 Front 27x8.5-15 (6PR) Rear 43x16-20 (4PR)
R4 Front 25x8.5-14 (6PR) Rear 15-19.5 (6PR)

I was going to asked for a combination of both.

15-19.5 (6PR) on the rear
27x8.5-15 (6PR) on the rear

But my Dealer says he can't mix the tires, because with the 4x4 the tires have to be matched for the differential ratios. Going to go with the package that has the slightly larger front R4s.
