Veeerrry nice. As a 4310 owner I'm curious - why did you make the trade? Did the 4310 not do what you want? I couldn't justify the extra $1400 the dealer wanted for three more hp in the 4410.

I bought the 4310 last summer and had no issues with it at all. I took on more mowing this summer and wanted to trade the 60MMM for a 72MMM.

I have learned a lot in the past year from use and by reading this forum. I got a price on trading in just the MMM but decided I had some other needs I didn't catch the first time around. I decided to trade the 4310 and refinance. I worked for weeks via E-mail with my Dealer till I felt I had it right.

Here is what I changed from the 4310 to 4410.

R3 to R4 tires. (So far I like the change)
Added engine block heater.
No starting issues but thought it couldn't hurt.
Optioned for the 72" HD bucket for the 430 loader for little more.
Got a 48 backhoe
Optioned for the 14" HD hoe bucket for little more.

I think a lot of people feel the same about the 4410 cost debate. I priced it and decided to go with the 4410 anyway. Have not run the 4410 enough to tell if I can feel the extra hp.

Congrats on a nice piece of iron! I have yet to get the rear facing work lights on mine yet. I plan to soon. Are the rear facing lights John Deere? By chance, do you have a part number? Don't forget that the book says the trans. holds 7.8 gal. but you will end up pouring in about 9 gal. and change. Enjoy! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Chief,
I'd appreciate your telling me what kind of post hole digger you have and if you recommend it. Looking to add one to my 4410.
Thanks - Brian

The rear lights are Deere as are the front.

Rear light LV910502 $38.00 Includes just one light
Front Light LVB25023 $50.00 Includes two lights
ROPS Light Brush Guard LVB25236 $38.00

You need the Brush kit to mount the front lights. All lights route wires inside the ROPS. At bottom of ROPS there is a purple and black wire to connect light. There is only one set of connectors on each side of the ROPS. If you add the rear lights and then later want to add the front you need to use a wire splice to tap in. I made a small Y using crimp on connectors so I didn't have to splice in. The connectors are bullet style. It should also be noted that wired this way all lights are on or off. I'm looking at adding two switches so I can turn the front and lights on when I want.

Dealer mounted my front lights without the brushguard. They keep turning all over the place. Not a real help. Are you sure the brushguard is "required"?

 

[cef2lion]

JD lists the brush guards as a prerequisite to the front lights. That doesn't mean you couldn't find a way to mount them without the brush guard.

$38 seems a bit high for the metal straps that make up the brush guard kit, hence some have optioned for there own lights and mounting methods. Others might want the OEM look or just idea of a simple bolt on kit.
