JD 4300 vs 4400 & 720FEL vs. 730FEL

[jcarius]

Folks,

Ok, so I'm down to decision time here. Is the 4400 really worth an extra $2000 at the end of the day? Is there any difference other than 3hp?

Along the same lines ...

720 FEL is about $600 less than the 730 ... what am I losing if I don't spring for the upper end?

Thanks!

Jim

Recently faced same decision. Only diff seemed to be small HP gain due to bored out engine, not worth the $2K to me. Went with the 4300 and the stronger loader (430 vs 420).

Before deciding today, would want to know the HP differences between the new 4310 and 4410.

The thing to ask yourself is How are you going to use the tractor? Will you be overworking the 4300? What implements do you plan on using?
I recently went through the same decision between a 4400 and 4600. I would rather underwork the 4600 at times, than push the 4400 above and beyond its limits.
