Paid off the 4310 a couple of weeks ago. 5 years old, I guess I need to wash it for a birthday present, maybe an engine oil change.

Have to say, its been a great machine! Besides normal maintenance, I've only had to replace the right rear axle seal and put a gel cell battery in it. Thats it. I think I have about 350 hours on it now. It purrs like a kitten and would purchase another again if faced with the same parameters. I love the hydro wouldn't trade it for just about anything.

The only time I wish I had 5 more HP is when I'm cutting bahia grass. Let me tell you, its like cutting wire rope. Otherwise, the HP compliments the weight of the tractor perfectly. I can bog down the 65 hp tractor with a 6' cutter in bahia. Don't believe, stop by when its a foot tall. I routinely pull a 6' box blade behind it.

Sure would like to have a cab tractor tho'.....Kyle

Doesn't matter what the color, the best looking & performing tractor is the paid for one.

Congrats. I paid mine off too...because I sold it. I'm tractorless with a baby on the way, myself. Diapers and formula take away a lot of tractor payment money.

Wow, tractorless??? I'm guessing you're having nightmares...

Try buying dipes for 2. We are trying to get the 2 year old potty trained. Not buying formula for this new one, but 2 years ago, $$$...Recommend Nestles Good start in the lavender can. It was the only thing our kid could keep down. Now she eats just about anything. Other tips (I know women are sensitive to having men offer baby tips so tell her these came from my neighbor lady with 4 young un's), when you make the Wmart trip always make sure you have 2 cases of dipes and wipes(baby wipes). Don't run out of chidrens ibuprofen, dimetapp, or benadryl or you'll make some late night runs. If you are members of Costco, their brand of dipes and wipes are really good.

I'd offer up some tractor tips but I think your own the right track. :)

Thanks. This is our second and Costco is 90 minutes away. Wally World 45 min. You can imagine how that sucks.

I keep toying with the idea of purchasing a cab tractor with a trade -in of my unit, which has low hours and is a 2003. It is paid off too and I just cannot bring myself to do it. But if I can make a deal that is good enough, I probably would do it.:)

Thanks for the tips Kyle...I am an expecting father...3 more months! And all this time I thought my wife was being crazy buying diapers since this past May:eek: Don't want to hijack the thread, going to make a new post in Related Topics...

Your welcome and congratulations, but I have to clarify that all medicines should be prescribed by your pediatrician. And ESPECIALLY THAT NO MOTRIN OR IBUPROFEN BE USED UNTIL THEY ARE 6 MONTHS OLD!!!

I was just saying what is tough to run out of in the middle of the night for our 2 year old. I think infants can have tylenol for fever but your pedi should recommend it and the dosage...
