All,
I contacted the dealer again after hearing from Mike and others that they experienced the corrosion problem even with the "new" battery that Deere is now installing on hydro CUTs as a solution. Apparently, Deere is now standing firm that the new battery with the individual screw-in caps has resolved the gas problem. Therefore, until I can actually show damage on my new 4310, the dealer is not willing to take back the existing battery and offer me a credit based soley upon information I have received from folks on TBN. Either I wait and see or simply eat the entire cost of purchasing an Optima and use the existing JD battery as a door stop.

That is what I ran into. They don't replace until it fails and eats a hole in your oil cooler. Then Deere replaces the cooler and the battery with the same battery you have. If your tractor fails after warranty period you are sol.

I'm not wealthy, but took it upon myself to spend $100 for a proven battery. The door stop is just an added benefit (it's really in my old hobby garden tractor now).
