John Deere 4000 Ten Series

All -

Keep in mind that the tractor industry is about 10-15 years behind the automotive industry. (maybe more/maybe less)

Look at the technology being used in todays automobiles and trucks. Everything is computerized.

Comparing todays automotive systems to those of 20 years ago, today's automobiles are hard to beat in efficiency and durability. With that in mind, the tractor manufacturers are beginning to take advantage of some pretty sophisticated technologies to improve the performance and reliablility of their equipment.

Will there be some design/manufacturing errors - you bet! I believe that most manufacturers are more than happy to correct their mistakes. It's called goodwill. They have too much to lose. Now, let's get the dealers to understand their products and provide a little better service.....

I just (an hour ago) heard similar info from a Deere Rep.::: 4105 will be a 14 Hp, 4110 will be same as 4100 today, and 4115 will be 2 Hp more than current 4100, 19 Hp PTO he said , so I am guessing they will call it a 22 Hp tractor. He speculated it was the same engine but turned up, built on the same chassis as the 4100 today, and included other cosmetic changes, and expect a higher price. NO, the E-hydro will not be part of the 41XX line, only starts on the 4210-plus.

unless there is some gain in reliability or fuel efficiency, then the electro-HST will probably be overkill on the smaller tractors. So I guess Deer is wise not to use it on the 41xx series. They are probably pushing it on the 42xx series.

I did not hear that a 4105 model was going to be in existence. The Deere PR person stated only the 4110 and the 4115. It will be interesting to see how it all comes out.
