New 4310 owner!

Buster57 · Jun 4, 2002

I got charged and over charged so may times at JD that I got sick of it. This is one of the primary reasons why I ended up looking at other brands.
I love my 318 but competition is there because it keeps people, dealers, and companies honest-and competitive!

I've got about 20hrs on my 4310 e-Hydro and have never experienced a hot floorboard problem... then again I wear boots while operating it!
How hot is hot?

I would guess and say 100 degrees,but I have been wearing
tennis shoes,I like to be comfee ya know.Driving the 4310
is like sitting in your lazyboy w/the remote control in your
hand.I discovered how to use the loadmatch switch with the
cruise control,what a great feature!!The lower lamp lences
on the rops say SPEAKER,do they make speakers to go in place of this lence?Now I need to figure out how to dress it
up with some chrome?????

Heck just operating it in the sun would get that black mat to 100 degrees! Yea to the lazyboy... it is one comfortable tractor. I'll have to take my boots off sometime to check the temp on the platform... As far as speakers go... why not a small TV (with a video player of course)? Joke! Actually a bug zapper (at least here in the Adirodack Mountains of NY) would be more pratical!
I love my 4310!

OK Jim now your gonna make me put a thermometer on it.
Thats OK now I'm curious.By the way what model Harley due
you have?I have a new Softail Standard.

I have a '98 Road King... It and I will be heading for Laconia New Hampshire Thursday morning for 5 glorious days in the White Mountains!
About the that "Hot Foot" special you have... I really haven't noticed any heat coming from under mine and currently it is about 175 miles away from me so I can't even check for you. I will be with it on the weekend of June 22nd and I'll be glad to do a look/see what might be the heat source!
In the meantime... make sure your Hydraulic Oil level is OK... the sight glass should be full... I would imagine a low oil level would make things hotter then they sould be!

By the way where are you located??? (no Bio!) maybe we can do a little Harley-ing (I made that up) some day?

Put on another 2 hrs tonite mowing for a total of 11 hrs
(I'm catchen ya jim) floor board still gets warm,only after
a hour of mowing hills,didn't have a thermometer to check
temp of floor board.I put my hand on the floor and it seems
acceptable.Sight glass is full on rear end,must be the cheap
tenny runners?I live in the Cedar Rapids Iowa area,grass
grows like crazy around here(lots of black soil).Those
Road Kings sure are nice bikes,a friend of mine just bought
a blue&silver Road King w/fuel injection--nice

JIM.
I BORROWED ONE OF THOSE INFERED TEMP GUNS AND
CHECKED THE TEMP OF MY 4310 AFTER MOWING FOR
2HRS IN 71 DEGREE WEATHER.HERES WHAT I CAME UP
WITH.
FLOOR BOARD 110 DEGREES,BUT JUST 2"LEFT OF THE
JOHN DEERE SIGN ON THE FLOOR BOARD IS 120 DEGREES
TRANS AND REAREND 160 DEGREES
MUFFLER(AT IDLE) 230
TOP RADIATOR TANK 160
MOWER SPINDLES(TOP BY GREASE ZERTS)140
COOL DRINK IN CUP HOLDER 60.
OK NOW THAT I GOT ALL MY TEMPS RECORDED,I THINK
I'LL GO BACK OUT TO THE SHOP AND PUT 2 ROUNDS OF WEDGE
IN THE RIGHT REAR,TAKE THE TAPE OFF THE GRILLE AND
HEAD BACK OUT FOR HAPPY HOUR AROUND THE HOUSE.
I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED IF MY LAP TIMES (or temps) COME
DOWN....
