I have had a compact JD 4400 HST since new. It's been a good tractor so far. I do have an issue now that I have put a cab/heat houser unit on the machine. The rear window does not open so I can no longer crank my snowblower chute. I have always wanted to use a cylinder but only have midQD formthe loader. Power beyond for this "old" tractor has proved difficult to find so far. $1200 for Deere dealer to construct from parts is pricey. A diverter would work but how do determine what and where to buy. A puzzle. An electric actuator would also work but how big a unit is necessary. They are not cheap, either. Well, I had not planned to post but HEEEERE it is!
