I can only imagine that you'll adjust to the hydro fine. I have it on my 4310 and pretty much move the throttle only for the job at hand. Agree it should be in front though, but see the need to put it behind so you can get to it from backhoe use. wait a minute, i recall when using most older...

Congrats Macdabs! Please keep us posted. I am most interested as a current 4310 owner, and 110 Wannabe. I am sooooooo pisssed. My little company is 9 years old, and just showed it's first decent profit. We'll, we blew it, and didn't realize uncle sam was gonna take soooooo much. Could have...

Ditto on the motorcycle. Some of the reasons are already said above. Another one is that when a 4w hits something, it stops, but the rider doesn't = very bad. 2w's don't stop, but deflect, usually away from the object, usually a tree = much safer. The self-regulating reason is a biggie. I...

Wow, that sucks. Miss a 8' door by inches and get to build a new barn! JD should have put it just under. And I guess we can't cut and weld them without the lawyers getting in the way. I think mine will work if I make the inside 10 and the door opening 9. Takes away upper clearance but I...

Trying to plan ahead. Building a new barn and need the the TLB 100 canopy height since it's not foldable, to make sure i get the right door. I will have plenty of door and plenty of height on my 14' door, but the shop area will be 2 stories, so door height is issue. Shop can only be 8-10'...

he, he!!! sounds like fun, i'd do it, but my neighbor is 80+ and would freek. i'm with sunnyside though and it would probably come down to who's got better traction, condition of tire edges, etc.. all issues. gear probably has slight hp advantage. but all the other variables outway a few hp...

The mechanical part of the hydro are pretty simple and robust in good machines like ours. The E part is the issue and I agree with Roy that we just don't know. I will add that my 02 4310 has been a fantastic tractor, but a solenoid and block controlling the trans broke a few months ago...

I still have my first tractor a 4310. It is a great tractor for me. Yet I need to dig and have many many projects stacked up. Have 60acres all woods, with a 2-3 acre lake with 3 streams. I rented the hoe that would go on it and it's not enough. Thinking about the 110 TLB, but it's a huge...

Macdads, I'm in the same boat as you. I have a 4310 w/300+ hours on it. Use it on my gentlemans 60acre farm. it has been a great machine, and my first machine, yet i have a need to dig things that the 4310 can't do as I have no 48 backhoe, and not sure i want it. i rented one with the 48 and...

follow up on mine: dealer replaced the solenoid and corresponding valve block, and it is fixed. so i don't know which one it was. bill was around $250, not bad since they picked it up and delivered too.

My 02-4310 just did the same thing. I have a workshop manual, and checked and verified all the relays are working. I then checked the solenoid and it too checked out, BUT when pulling the pto switch on the solenoid gets hot. I'm guessing it's getting hot either cause it's bad, or because it's...

Re: 4310 won\'t go, engine and hydr OK. Problem solved!!! friend came over and hooked up a fancy e-machine, said coil is testing good, still could be valve itself though, but doesn't make sense cause it can't 'talk' back to computer. said we should try re-calibrating again. he read...

Re: 4310 won\'t go, engine and hydr OK. yes, it was code 10, *--- , i can get to the valve under the trans cover. i removed the coil easily and it checks out ok. haven't taken the valve out though. it is $550 for the valve and $200 for the coil so i don't want to buy it on a hunch. how does...

Re: 4310 won\'t go, engine and hydr OK. maybe i read it wrong! i hope so, cause after all the checking i've done, i'm leaning toward the f-r coil error as the culprit. the wires go into the trans area. i'm hoping i can get to them to complete the book test (have to actually touch them with a...

Re: 4310 won\'t go, engine and hydr OK. thanks plowrup. it is the same as in the book(yours is more descriptive though), except for me after #16, the .--- stays on and this is what i didn't understand, however your description says the light should go off which it doesn't. i have checked the...

Re: 4310 won\'t go, engine and hydr OK. thanks a ton. my unit got a new computer very early on, and has been perfect since. I just was able to complete, or so i think, the calibration procedure, and the last step which is rear valve cal. actually did what the book said it would which is 'the...

4310 won\'t go, engine and hydr OK. '02-4310 ehydro. engine runs and hydraulics work fine. initially got a 'both peddles pressed' code and get this alot, so normally just let them go back to normal and it resets itself and off i go. this time i go the code, but it won't reset and no go...

I don't remember what the spec's were, but the biggy for me was performance spec's. the JD4310 blew the others doors in in loader and 3-pt spec's, if i'm not mistakin like 20-40% better lift, breakout, etc.... i was comparing only hydro units. and i am very glad i did as i have pushed her to...

found one broken, don't know what's wrong with it yet, but looks heavy duty.

I did my 50 last fall, if I had to do again (another tractor) I would not change the fluid, just new spin on filters and clean the suction side and rock shaft filter. my old fluid seemed cleaner looking than the new?????

I did my 50 last fall, and my dealer looked at me funny too when I asked for the suction screen, but got it for me. I would probably agree that it does not need to be 'changed' but jsut cleaned as mine had very little metal/debri, almost less than could fit on a finger tip, and it was easily...

I've had mine (4310) since Aug. 02, just one little glitch in the puter (wouldn't stop quick enough going backwards), replaced puter, all's well. R4's, 430, woods 60" box, JD LX 60" cutter. Awesome machine, 70hrs. first tractor, wish i would have bought one long time ago. makes and maintains...

I've had the same issues with a 4310, and found that while on level ground she shifted fine, but just the slightest hill would make the shifting hard. this makes sense as the hydro also acts as a brake and when deceling on a hill, and once stopped is still trying to hold the tractor, hence...

mine did it in reverse only, from new. i have one of the early '02 4310. dealer said is was normal until i demanded he came out and tried to hook up an implement. if i just touched the reverse pedal ever so lightly the tractor went 6-8" and smashed or moved the implemnent. not so with the...

Let the potential buying make the decision for you. Find out the cost of a new one and then you'll now how much letting the old one go with the 4200 or not. of course we are assuming the old on fits on the new one. don't forget to add the labor costs. I personally would lean new, and the...

I just changed everything at my 50hr this fall on a 4310, and my dealer recommended the hy-guard, i'm in NJ. It's been a very cold winter here and i've been using the tractor a little at 10 degrees, etcc. i've noticed the trans whines a touch more but operationally the same at 10 degrees. i...

Re: Not really big deal After doing the whole 50 hr service myself, my assessment would be that the you probably could wait till 100hrs. non of the filters had much on them except for the pre-suction screen, but it too still had a lot of surfacr area left as it is pretty large. I would still...

4310 Hydro. Was just doing my 50hr service. When I pulled out the suction screen (long, metal one in the lower trans case housing) I found the screen was broken. At first I was concerned but after looking into it, it only looks like a pre-filter to the main spin-on suction filter. However...

I just got same unit, but without the 48. I was interested in the 48, and remember my dealer saying about 27,500. So your in the ballpark. IMO you've got to let them make 'something'. IMO, I wouldn't sweat the small stuff about $500 +/-, on local vs. next county, but $2000 might be. Maybe...

I just went throught these same comparisons this summer and ended up with a JD4310 w/430FEL. It seemed to me that the JD 30HP range tractors blew away the NH and K units in FEL, 3pt and BH performance. At least that's what I remember. Some were equal in some areas, but the JD was tops in all...

I was able to rent one, before a purchase decision was made. I live in North eastern NJ where rock and hard trees rule. The BX did nothing I expected of it well. I expected full buckets, but had a very hard time filling it and then a scarier time driving with it. The hoe did little other...

Mines close. JD4310, keep it in my shop for now until a get the out building done. Std. gargage door with a south western style door opener (not used here in the East cause of snow, but works fine on my shop, plus I could use the old barn door to look good). I've said a million times to...

sorry, patrickg, for the lack of patience while typing. yes it is 100,000. it heats the barn from 30 degrees to 70 in minutes, and i didn't duct it either, just used the old distribution box with two existing outlets pointed in different directions. The exhaust went out a sleeved window...

I have a 25x25, 9 ' ceiling. Called aropund all the heating contractros, found a used house forced air (was practically new) oil burner for $450, plus a used 275 gal. tank for $25 and it warms up in 5 minutes. I think it's 100 btu?? awesome way to go, cause it seems i'm only in the barn for...

You guys are making a small mistake, or just overlooking it. Kioti HAS to be less expensive than the big three. If they weren't NO ONE would ever buy them. Just plain business. In every business and product, newcomers, with little history, MUST be less $ to be attractive. They (Kioti)...

If it will make you feel any better, I just got a flat on my front R4-6ply (4310) with a 'little' piece of glass. I will only be in that area once and a blue moon, so not a huge deal to me. But all the glass around really cut up the fronts alot, but the rears showed no cuts at all??

Well, I finally got it back. Dealer had sent their mechanics to JD school, as mine was the first with trouble. They said they spent so much time on troubleshooting electronically that they said hell with it and just repleaced the computer, and now works great. Forward and reverse are smooth...

My JD dealer said to only use the 'on road' stuff. I called a local fuel supplier and asked him to deliver 200+ gallons of 'diesel fuel' to my barn heat oil tank. He laughed and said it's all the same stuff(heating oil/deisel on or off), just that if you tell them it's for machinery they put...

Thanks hazmat, ordered it. it was not cheap at $140, but if it saves just one trip to the dealer it pays for itself.

Well, my 4310 is at the shop to look at the small reverse hydro problem I'm having. The service mangr. said that the tech will be reprogramming it, and that it's is covered in the service manual and was covered in a tech buletin. Should I and can I get a shop service manual that will describe...

Kurth, IMO, I rented a BX22 because it was very attractive, dollar wise, with a backhoe, but found it to be very limiting for the ground work I need to do (rocks, stumps, etc..) I ended up spending a lot more (2-3K) for a JD4310 with 430, boxblade, PHD, without backhoe (will get it later). It...

Congrats, Got mine last week, 4310 w/430 and has 14 hrs so far. Already almost tipped it over (experimented not using the ballast box, BAD EXPERIMENT), and almost took down my barn with it (forgot to fold the FROPS), but man is it an awesome machine, glad I did my homework and spent the extra $...

Dealer coming thurs to check it out.

SethO, agreed!! I had already decided on a 4310 or equal for my needs, and then the BX came out and was 'attractive' because of the huge price difference. Perfomance must be paid for somehow. I then learned that it was not built for my needs. I thought it was a great tractor though!

I just was at my local deisel truck parts store (2 nearby) and was buying a fuel filter. I just asked if they had any 55 gal drums for sale, etc.. Got 3 for free. They get motor oil in them to sell/change and can't get ride of them. brand new too. could put diesel right in them without rinsing.

IMO. I was able to rent a BX22 before making my decision on a tractor purchase and found the backhoe was not capable of doing what I expected of it. (small stumps, rocks, etc...) Or should I say I was not wiling to work it to death to get the job done. Ended up with a JD4310, much more...

Yes, I have tried both motionmatch speeds and it works, the tractor slows down quicker or slower in forward or reverse. It's just that once it gets to crawl speed it continues to crawl a foot or so, but again only in reverse. Called Dealer and he said he'd stop by in the next few days to take...

just got a 4310 hydro, one word, awesome. first tractor. seems though, that when i let go to stop in reverse it seems to run on for a few seconds and then stop. very weird since forward is seemless and i can stop and start whithin a dime (literally). if i just touch and release or just...

I actually skidded about 30 trees, 6-16", with a '86 Bronco II, kept it in low gear, attached choker chain as close to the bumber as possible, so that when I went foreward it kinda lifted the log a little. I cut trees as low as possible, so the logs never caught on anything, and wide, bald...

I am shocked, at the percentage of people on this thread that don't understand basic business. Wise guy, Cowboy, Gordon and others are more right than the rest IMO. Here's my take: 1. Why does one dealer/salesman have to or want to sell less than the next guy? 2. Buying locally DOES mean a...

SethO, IMO. Our properties are almost identical. Except maybe I'm in Northern NJ where rock and hard trees rule. I will buy a tractor this year, and the BX was very attractive. The local rental shop (Kubota dealer as well) finally gave up with about 10 people on the fence about the unit and...

All good stuff, thanks for all the hlep. I really like the NH w/Woods idea. First thought is maybe NEW NH w/woods = to used JD?????? I will check out. Keep the ideas coming, this is great!!

Thanks for all the replies. I'm mostly interested in performance (loader/b.hoe). The JD 430 loader almost doubles the performance of the NH 7308 loader. Can't find the NH backhoe specs?? I've learned that the JD 48 b.h. is same as the Great bend 851 (made by someone else??) The B21 doesn't...

I am looking for a used late model 30hp+/- tractor that will have loader and backhoe capabiliies. I rented a BX22 and it didn't do the deed here in NJ (rocks, hardwood trees). So according to the specs, the JD 4300 performance blows away the little BX. It even outperforms the Kubota 2710's...

looking for a used 4300 4x4 hydro. after reading all i can it looks like there was a little trouble with 99-00 units. some posts say watch units built before 3/00 and also before sr# 300000. dealer of a unit i'm looking at ('00 built 11/99) says there were about 4 updates but can't tell if...

thanks jim and ed, you answered my questions. sounds like to PC is not as big an issue as i thought.

Reason I'm asking is I'm real close to be able to get a BX22 or 2410, but just used me neighbors old Ford 8N with an 8' rake and it sucked. It does have position control to! As soon as I got anything susbstaintial in the rake, the big rear ag tires would just spin (one of them anyway). I...

Frank, I'd rather not say other than Northern NJ, wouldn't want him to get pissed at me if I did end up buying there. Anyway, do you know something I don't or a dealer that can help, I've gotten 2 prices, one 18, one 17,800. Seems way high compared to what's on this board. I am willing to...

Thanks for the replies so far. My trails were originally made for and by a tree skidder. Since then, I've made them less muddy, stumped them, cleared them (for a pick-up), etc... My kids and I used them almost everyday, since we don't live in a development, it's a great place to ride bikes...

How important is postion control? Dealer says you can do it on the BX just not accurately or repeatably. Need to maintain a small minibike flat track, smooth out ruts, level, etc... Also, I need to remove/move basketball size rocks and smaller a lot. Will the BX do it?? I'm leaning BX but...

looking at a B6100D, but friend said it won't do anything?? i want to use a york yake, brush hog, box scraper. can it do these successfully?? it also has a front blade with hydraulics.

Re: where\'s mower drive on B6100D thanks kubmech!! i thought that's were it went cause of the empty bracket up there. not sure if this tractor will do. apprciate the reply and advice. what's a tractor like this in OK shape worth, 4x4, stick. tractor only

where\'s mower drive on B6100D looking at a B6100D to buy, want to add a belly mower (woods makes one), says there is supposed to be an electric clutch drive pulley, but I can't find it?? any help?? anyone have a belly mower for sale??
