I have a couple of larger tractors, standard gear type transmissions, no loaders or backhoes. I am fixing to borrow a 4100 JD from my neighbor to load a pile of dirt and use my 2555 JD to pull the trailer the three tenths mile each way. The trailer I built/modified has dumping capabilites so the 4100 will only be used to load it. The problem is I have never been on what appears to be a hydrostatic tractor with a loader. I asked the owner for some operating instructions and he just laughed, saying it was easy compared to those monsters I own. Twice I have asked and got the same reply both times.
So I am hoping someone might have some pictures of the controls on this thing and can give me some instructions on what needs to in what position to start it and operate it safely. I don't need a repeat of what almost happened when I went to unload my Ford 7710 from the Landow trailer, having never operated the boom mower.
Any help would be appreciated, I don't like to borrow it, but I have to move some dirt and soon!
Thanks,
