I would like to thank all who contribute to this forum. Because of you I was able to make a very informed buying decision. I have been looking at compacts for several years, but until I found this site over a year ago I knew nothing about them. From reading the posts I was able to determine the size that would fit my needs, and alot about each model offering in that size.
I opted for a JD 4110. It was delivered a week ago. I think that I would have been happy with any of three major brands (JD, NH or Kubota). There were minor things about all three brands that i liked better than the other. The difference came down to the dealer. For my area the JD dealer has a great reputation, and is only 6 miles from my house.
I have logged only a few hours on the machine. It mows great. I got the 410 loader and 60 MMM with it. I have had one problem already. The voltage regulator was broke and had to be replaced, the battery was not charging. The dealer came immediately and got it, fixed and returned it. As you would expect with a new purchase.
I think I will be happy with my purchase (hopefully it's the only problem I'll have for a while). Thanks once again to everyone.
