Aren't those tractors awesome!
We had a local winner 2 years or so ago, and the tractor was delivered thru our dealership... we got to clean it etc. The thing looked just like a factory brand new tractor,, it was just beautiful!

Nice color. I think that it's hard to argue, John Deere has the best color, it even looks good with an Okie. I still prefer the black seat though. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yellow is cooler, but it's not as Kool /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Mike, were pretty much set when it comes to Halloween as of course you are on St Patricks day, Earth Day etc. I'd personally prefer the green color and am pretty sure the plastic fenders etc. would be better as well, but thats not super important. Are you still considering the sale of your tractor?

You just have the want's, that's OK. Now's the time to make that transition as I am sure you will get the most for your Club 4310.

Yup! If I stay with the 4310, I am plenty happy. I bet I would also be happy with a 3520, and now is when mine is worth the most...

I can see the safety folks now, you let a 3 year old sit on your lap when you use the tractor!!!? Yes, yes I do. He operates the loader, lowers and raises the box scraper, TnT and hydraulic rippers. He even steers it for me on occasion. His favorite word is "faster" .

Good lookin Mom's (and hopefully her brains), you certainly have that right. He got a Peg Perego ATV Polaris 700 twin for Christmas (can I say Christmas here?). It's a little electric ATV. It has reverse and two forward speeds, 1 and 2. 2 locks out which is what I did. That lasted 5 minutes and he wanted to go faster. I let him use 2 for a couple days and now he wants it to go faster. what to do, I hope this is not a trend. He'll never get to drive a car.

Good choice! (I didn't think you'd go green...)
That Polaris looks SO real! I did a double take at the store...
Throw away the stupid little charger and put a $25 battery charger on it. I can't believe they expect kids to use a manual charger...

The choice was red or yellow, they had red. Really, you use a different charger for it?

Yup, one of those 2 intelligent amp chargers. I got mine at Wally World. It has a quick connect on the low voltage side, that I connected inline after the vehicle's battery connector. That way, my little guy is handling low voltage. I also had one that is supposed to mount right to the vehicle (like a boat or riding mower.) But I didn't want him plugging it into 110v.
But I am not as smart as I sound... ( /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif) I knew to do all this, but waited tilll they fried the stock battery. So I had to replace that... I pulled one out of an UPS from work, and that thing really goes now. I need to move the battery back over the drive wheels now. All this for a toy!
