DennoAce,
I wasn't sure if you wanted feedback on the JD4110 itself but what the heck I'll post this anyway... Could be helpfull for someone else also.
I bought my 4110 in May 2003. I currently have just under 40 hours on it. I'm very please with it but everything was not perfect during those fisrt 40 hours.
The major problem I had was a hydraulic oil leak near the mid PTO shaft. My JD dealer took it back to the shop and fixed the problem within a week.
The first impression I got when driving the 4110 on my property was that I went way overboad in size! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif Just moving the tractor around with the FEL, I was feeling like I would probably either have to do a lot "stop, back, turn, go" to be able to manage to get around all the trees and obstacle on the property. You need to understand that the previous tractor I used was a garden tractor (Ford LGT145). After driving the tractor for a while, I notice that I was able to make sharper turns that I never could do with the garden tractor. Also power steering is great! I also found that the ride itself is much more pleasant with those big turf tires and the spring seat. I was already used to hydrostatic tranny cause that's what's the Ford had so choosing the tranny for me was a no brainer. As a mowing machine it's just great! I use the 60" MMM
Now as for the tractor power, the 4110 is plenty for my usual tasks. Were I could use more power with the FEL is when I'm removing stumps. We use to grow Christmas trees and we have lots of 3 to 4 inchs stumps. The stumps that are older or normally not a problem. Also this winter I was clearing some snow with the FEL and I noticed that I was running out of lifting power with the compacted snow. It's probably because I'm not used to the FEL yet! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif I need more practice! I'm also using a 54" rear snow blower and have been very impressed with it this winter. I need a cab though! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
Starting the tractor during this COLD winter hasen't been a problem. The JD dealer installed a block heater since my shed is not heated and that is definitely making it a breeze /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
For my garden, the 60" tiller with this tractor size is just tad bit big (but it is sooo much smooter than my old tiller! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif) so to solve this problem I'm going to make a bigger garden this year!
Now this year I'm planning to clear some land that has some small trees and bushes and also has big trees near by that I won't be removing. I'm not sure yet what implement to use for this, but the tiller dosen't seem like a good idea because it would probably just get caught in the big trees roots...
Over all I think it was a near perfect tractor for me. And of course it's green!
OK I guess I should stop boring all of you guys now...
