Telescoping draft links

   / Telescoping draft links #11  
I did not say cut it out. A 5% discount, or $10 off, is not going to break the dealer, not even close, but it will reward the customer. I know some dealers that offer 10% off list on parts/service when you buy a tractor from them ... of course they are not JD dealers. Even $5 off would be a nice little thank you.

I got 23% off of list price on the tractor. I just went and bought oil and filters and didn't even get a discount /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Yes they are worth the investment. I never thought I had much problem putting on the implements before the telescoping links and I got them so my wife could put on implements without my help. Well it turns out I still put the implements on for her but now its even easier and quicker than before. Even the brush hog goes on easy and fast. No strain at all. For a while I thought I should have gotten a quick hitch but now i know I got the right tool. Its not as fast as the q-hitch but then I did not have to cobble up all the implements to fit. Telescoping links fit all!

Thanks all. It certainly feels good to be validated on this purchase especially when there are so many additional ways to spend money on implements/attachments/accessories.

The telescoping links do have standard Cat 1 sockets. I will take some pictures and measure them when they come in and let you know what length they are. JD makes two versions of these. The 4310 has two types of stabilizer bars, horizontal and vertical. The welded ears that attach the stabilizers are different to accomodate the two types of stabilizers. Consider how you are going to attach the stabilizers to your unit. They are also not a straight link which may pose another problem fitting them. Hopefully the pix and measurements will make this clear. If the 4310 links don't work maybe the 5000 series one might. They are also stock on the newer Kubota Grand L series and some Kioti and possibly Branson and NH units.

As far a expectations on parts pricing,,,,, I paid alot less than $20,000 for this unit. I got a rock bottom price. My dealer provides me with a lot of value added service at no charge. I don't feel that he owes me special pricing for parts. If that had been a priority for me I would have asked for it when negotiating the purchase. Dealers use different incentives to gain and keep customers. My guy gives you the "deal" up front.

The attachment points of the lift arms on these compacts are so close together that they travel in an arc away from the implement, making telescoping arms a necessity, in my opinion. Coupled with the newer stye horizontal bar stabilizers, they make hooking up implements almost fun.

Can I get these for my 4100? Sounds like a good addition.

I checked the JD site and they did not seem to have the telescoping draft links option for the 4010/4110/4115 tractors. So according to the JD site, the answer is no. You will need to check with your JD dealer.

Hey, Gary, just take your 4100 to your dealer, and say you gotta have telescopic links. I'm sure they can work it out! Course there MAY be a new model number on the hood... But hey, those links are nice.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That's kind of like jacking up the radiator cap and putting a new vehicle underneath!
