JD 4115

Ledgemere Farm · Nov 23, 2004

I have been wavering between the two. I really like the Deere, NH and Case-IH. The NH and Case-IH are the same except for the color. My family bought allot of new Deeres this year(7) between two dealers. Hopefully, I can use that as some leverage for a good deal? I almost bought the 4100 6 years ago when I bought my Cub, but Deere wanted 15% down at the time and Cub wanted 0%. I think the 4110 would be sufficient. I want a hoe, but I am only interested in moving some relatively small rocks and stumps. Do you think it can handle it?

GR, I don't have the hoe so I cannot speak from experience on that piece of your puzzle. I will also say that the 4110 handles all of the digging and stump removal (loader), materials handling, and turf management chores I can come up with. As metioned earlier, you gain added weight, length, wheel size,and HP with the 4115. If there is anything the 4115 can do that the 4110 cannot, I don't know what it would be. As with most CUT comparisons of simlilarly sized machines, the 4115 might be able to do one or two jobs a little faster, but they will both do the same jobs. One thing to consider is that the savings on the 4110 can pay for a big chunk of the cost of your hoe. The hydraulics are the same, so the hoe should run just as fast on the 4110.

( I want a hoe, but I am only interested in moving some relatively small rocks and stumps. Do you think it can handle it? )

Yes. I've found the 4110 handles it nicely. Also, the 46 BH is not so large that it's in the way -- I have some tight spaces I need to get into for bush & tree removal and I like not having to remove it to do loader work. I just need to watch the "tail" a bit so I doesn't hit a building or a tree, but a bigger BH on a bigger tractor would be uncomfortable in my situation.

When I was buying (this spring) I dithered about the BH, but I am so glad I bought it. More than half of the work I've done, as it turns out, has been BH work. I find I like a bigger lawn and fewer buckthorns and mullburys.

Sounds great. In that case, I am a little swayed toward the 4110. I just need to unload my Cub Cadet. Know anyone who needs a bigger tractor???

Cliff, the only problem with that kind of progress is the added mowing time down the road /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I was just doing some playing around on JD's website and the 790 w/loader & hoe is over $1k less than the 4110. Obviously, I would lose the hydrostatic, but it's a heavier and more powerful machine. I don't care about folding ROPS. I have had a folding ROPS on my Cub for almost 7 years and haven't put it down once. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
