Took delivery of my brand, spankin' new 4110 today. The 2210 top link hinge plate leak epoch is put to rest.

The 60" United/Leinbach boxblade should be delivered next week. Also waiting on the quick hitch for the front blade. Pic attached. A couple more of the bucket hooks to follow.

bigpete,

More people should follow your lead when installing chain hooks. Nice details!
Hey...where's all of your snow? If your Deere cleans up snow that well, I'm going to have to order one, too.

I like the hook install, it looks like it was done in the factory.

Bucket hooks design credit to my dealer's shop tech. He did the same great work on my 210 loader and I had him try to duplicate his work.

It's been an unusual year here for weather. Brutally cold for this area. Plenty of moisture but it has all come during above freezing temps in the form of rain. Our 4 inches of snow was washed away earlier in the week, then everything glazed over with ice. 15 miles north of here the snow is still there.

bigpete........congrats........whats with that crooked ROPS??
/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Just teasing.........is the ROPS at that angle, the regular way their supossed to be? Just asking, I own a <font color="blue"> blue one </font> .

Yup, JD's folding ROPS for 4010/4110/4115 is supposed to be that way. Don't know why. Either Marketing thinks it looks cool, or Engineering thinks it provides some dynamic safety advantage. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I think the engineers did it.........(ducking) /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
