john deere 4310

Hi folks... Will you help me decide between these 2 tractors... ? There's gotta be more than I read about in the literature... or the limited test drives I did... Pro's... con's... +++'s... ---'s... experiences... opinions... Like... performance... quality... ergonomics... quirks...

My new tractor was delivered to my house this morning and here I sit at work. I thought waiting on delivery was bad. Waiting to get home is worse. First on the agenda is to give the new addition a wash and wax. This should keep scratches to a minimum. Only 4 1/2 more hours to test driving time.

I am looking at both of these tractors. To be completely honest there are things I like about both. One issue is in my area the JD is $1100 more. This is not a deal breaker for me but $1100 is quite a bit of money. I like the Kubota's standard shuttle shift - I have to pay $1000 more to...

I was ready to buy the JD4310 and while waiting for the dealer to call to sign the papers I found the Kubota 3130 on the internet and at a dealer here. When I heard the price from a dealer in NC I started researching the tractor only to find out it's a nicer tractor than JD 4310. I'm now...

Recent post about 3-point hitch turn buckle breaking has me wondering. If the lift arm axle housing is made of aluminum, should there be a concern that it's not strong enough. Over time will it fail? My concern as a potential 4310 purchaser is that aluminum has no place at such a vital area...

I am going to buy a tactor and have narrowed it down to these two tractors. I have 8 acres on one place and 5 on another to take care of. I am building a new house within a year and have 6 horses. So I will be using it to take care of the land and around the barn/stalls. The specs are about...

Hello everyone, I am needing some more opinions. As of now, I am looking at the above two tractors and running in circles. I like both but have a few concerns as to which way to go. I will be using it around a construction site (backfill, landscaping, gravel roads) and at home (40 acres 1/2...

How does this price strike you guys? JD 4310 HST w.420 FEL, R4's for $17,500 Another dealer quoted $17,695 Both seem to be pretty good quotes and are the lowest of all the tractors I am looking at. Now if I can just make up my mind . . .

We are buying a JD 4310 with 430 front end loader and other attachments. The dealer has convinced my son that using a MX6 rotary mower with the 4310 is fine as long as we leave the loader on. The JD charts do not recommend this combination. Has anyone had any experience with using the MX6 with...

I am down to deciding between two tractors the JD 4310 w/430 FEL, or the NH TC35 w/LA16 FEL. Price is with in dollars of each other. Feature for Feature they are almost just aloike, except for HP JD is 32, NH is 35. The NH I think has bigger tires R4s. Any input would be great will be pulling...

Should I get it?

What does everyone think of theses tractors. I have been looking at Kubotas and Deeres and the Deere seems to have the best financing available. I have awesome dealers for both here in town with wonderful service where I have already spend SEVERAL thousands of dollars on equipment. What...

First let me state that the 4310 is far advanced over the 850. I can say the 4310 has a little trouble turning my 6ft rd woods finish mower that the 850 had no trouble. I wonder if the hydro and other accessories rob alot of hp. Also my wheels on the 850 must have been spread wider because I...

I just test drove a JD 4310 at my local JD dealer. This beauty was smooth as silk compared to the JD 4300 hydro I tested last year. The 4310 had 4wd, folding rops, e-hydro, match speed, mid pto, R4 tires, dual selection valve and svc. The quote for the machine was $16,000, $3100 for a 430...

Here is my new toy (err work device)

I am going to buy one of these tractors within the next month. I have driven both many times and have dealers for both close to home. Major difference is Hydo pedals...but could live with either. I would appreciate comments from members on pro's and con's...especially related to quality. I...
