Can anyone share their experience with the new xr4100 series tractors?

Are these tractors DPF only?

I can't find one on a lot to look at. I have height clearance issues. Dealer can't confirm anything other than ROPS fold points 77 inches. Could one of you post some pictures of the tractor and tell what heights things are. Top of steering wheel, back of seat. After the fold point on ROPS where does it bolt in at.

I like the spec sheets but really need to put eyes on one of these before I buy.

Sorry I can't help on the dimensions of the rops, but the owners manual describes the emissions system as a doc/ dpf. It is all in one canister on top the engine, and is supposed to regen no sooner than 50 hours for 15 minutes. There is a switch also to turn it off if it's not a convenient to let it finish. This minimal after treatment in combination with the crdi fuel system sounds like an efficient design and a good solution to emissions. But I guess only time will tell how it really functions.

New member here, I just finished my registration a few minutes ago. Thought i'd get on here and be social, I have read this forum many times and learned soooo much. Almost ready to take the big step and get a new LS.(at least that's the way it looks as of now).

Welcome to the forum! I've been very happy with my LS, I think they have a great product. If you end up with a blue tractor don't forget to post some pics!

Thanks, Glad to hear you are happy with your LS. Thinking about going " BLUE" and if I do, looks like it would be the XR 4140 shuttle.

I got my new tractor home! BTW for anyone interested, the rear R1 wheels on it are adjustable for wider track. Mine are set the standard narrow track but by unbolting the inner part of the wheel you can set the rim section outside of said inner section and rebolt them. Looks like it should widen the track by around 3 inches on each side.

Just an FYI for others that the R4's are wider than the R1's. The R1's have adjustable rims as mentioned to widen the track. The R4's do not adjust and swapping wheels side to side would make no difference to widen the track.

I was planning on getting the R1's, so that's nice to know. That extra 6 inches could make a big difference on a hillside. Maybe I can get the dealer to do that for me as part of the deal.

Yes it amounts to about 6" on each side, not sure if these before and after pics show it very well though. And that is correct the R4 wheels are one piece but already have a quite wide track. Maybe I can get the pics to load...

dntfxr,

I'm close to ordering the XR4155HC for my business. We do a lot of close to fragile things dirt work with both ends. Could you give a detailed review on how yours is treating you? Fuel consumption, repairs, power to weight, brush hogging power, visibility with the cab, regen issues ect. Any and all information appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Mine has been great so far, had one issue with a small leak from a bad gasket on the side of the transmission when it was brand new but my dealer fixed it and it's been trouble free. The cab is very comfortable, and visibility is great, much better than I expected. I also was worried about clearance in tight areas but compared to my NH 3930 it is much more nimble and fits inside of its footprint. But it should it's a smaller tractor. I am completely satisfied so far. I only have 60 something hours on it and a lot of that is lower rpm stuff, but I've only had one regen so far. The light came on the dash and it increased Rpms just a little up to maybe 2000 and it was over in less than 5 minutes. It has plenty of power, I run an 8' bushhog with it and it never complains even in thick stuff. It seems to be very good on fuel too. I filled the rear tires (Ags) and it handles large round bales without an implement on the back. It's really been great, I haven't regretted my decision one bit. And I'm so glad I went with the cab, every time I climb in I smile, makes chores fun again lol. The only complaint I can think of is the range shifter is a little stiff but I think it just hasn't broke in yet.
