Transmission types for JD 40 series.

The 400X and CX aren't in the same league as the 110 loader. But, I want to get a bale grapple and the self-leveling CX would fit the bill very nicely for loading wagons and trailers with small square bales.

Very interesting discussion regarding the hydraulic option changes that might be on the 2011 models. I do like the possibility of having dedicated rear mount SCV's that don't require the electric diverter option that current 3000-4000 tractors have.

Actually I had four 48" hoses made to replace the steel lines and routed them over the rear end in a space (cavity) that exists on the 4x20 machines. That works better than having the couplers mounted further to the rear because the top and tilt hoses are easier to deal with this way.

On the 110 I am going to tee into the valve for the front auxillary couplers and install a set on the rear. While I can't use these for front and rear at the same time I rarely use the front anyway so this would give me four sets of rear couplers for a fully hydraulic rear blade. That is the only implement I wan't that would need that many circuits.

If I had really thought about it I would have ordered the 4520 with the diverter and plumbed all the quick connects to the rear for things like the rearblade.

If I could afford to buy a new 210LJ landscape loader this would solve all of these problems.

Regarding your 110 - I don't want to get in the way of "creative solutions"... but, I just bought a $56 rear tail light flasher for my 110. 'Cause I forgot that the diverter was switched to the rear SCV's and I wanted to raise the FEL - well, after I lowered the disc mower OFF OF the canopy... and picked up the pieces of the tail light... it's just too easy to mess things up with "switching this and toggling that" - IMO.

I'd think it would be easier to mount a single valve body off of your PB circuit (you're not gonna have the hoe mounted with a rear blade) and work the 4th cylinder that way. And, you won't have to switch the diverter back and forth - just leave it on the rear position and work the other 3 cylinders.

"If I could afford to buy a new 210LJ landscape loader this would solve all of these problems." Yep... I hear ya! Like my 'ol man used to say - if wishes was horses.. we'd all ride!!
