4110 vs kubota7610

andre · Mar 26, 2005

Is this the best one to compare with the jd 4110 or is it the 7510.
Besides hp what other major differences are there. Pto hp seems pretty close.
Any help appreciated. Trying to decide on which one. Was quoted 13500 for kubota and 14759 for jd both with loader and hst.

When I drove the 7510, it was the same price as the JD 4010 that I bought. A 4110 was $2,000 more. So, I'd say it's a good price for the 4110.

Didn't like the pedal placement on the Kubota. Salesman didn't seem to know much about it either. JD dealer was much closer. The 7510 had folding ROPS. The fixed ROPS of the 4010 fits underneath my garage and downstairs carriage house doors.

ever felt you ran out of power with 4010?
What do you do with the 4010?

I have a 4100, which is basically a 4110 without a hinged lid over the fuel filler. The only time I've ever ran out of power is when I'd run my 62" RSB into three feet of wet snow and plow curl just to see how far she would throw it! Engine would bog down, start smoking, and then I'd let up on her. Boy, those Yanmar engines are tight! I've had mine for seven years and don't know a thing about it aside from scheduled maintenance stuff like air and fuel filters, oil changes and the like.

I know Kubota makes a good piece but I also know those 4100/4110 units are solid.

That's a very good price on the 4110.

For comparison to the 7610, well, they're really very different tractors and your should drive them both. The 4110 is a full featured tractor, the 7610 a bit more striped down. I've been consistantly suprised to find out what the 4110 has that the 7610 doesn't, and also to find that a lot of people don't really mind the missing features, so you need to decide that. Note that few things are listed on spec sheets. For instance, the 4110 doesn't need a clutch (doesn't have one.) You need to be through in your study. Ask both salesmen why theirs is the better tractor. While the answers can be amusing, they can also be telling.

If you do a search for 7610 and 4110 going back a year, you'll find this compare has shown up a lot. Based on the feature set, Kubota doesn't really have a tractor to compare the 4110 against, but like I said, not everyone cares about the extra features. I looked at both very carefully before I bought.

Since I have a 4110, you should assume what I say is biased whether I sound biased or not.

If you buy a tractor and never run out of power, you probably bought too much tractor. Yes, I've actually stalled the 4010 when digging gravel out of a pile and caused it to blow black smoke a few other times doing the gravel lift. You just learn to listen to it and don't let it happen and stay within its limitations. I moved 19.5 tons of #5 gravel with it onto my path through the woods (through which a bigger tractor just wouldn't fit). I'll have to get about another 8-10 tons to redo my wooden bridge across a little stream to a culverted one for the 4010 to cross instead of my Gravely.

I learned how much power I needed from the Gravely. It drives a 30" bush hog with almost never a bog down with 12 hp. Some of the Gravely folks use the 12 hp to drive a 50" mowing deck. I'm quite sure my 4010 would handle a 5' deck from a power standpoint. That size deck is just too heavy to safely handle on hills with its 1400# weight. I bought it with the LX4, 48" deck.

A friend gave me his 7 chisel plow soil ripper from his old JD M (18 ground hp). It pulls it fine. It also pulls 2 16" disc hillers set at 45 degree opposed angles set to full depth with no problem. The last 10 (out of 20) rows have a little dipsy doodle to them because the tractor is too light to hold it completely straight line. However, it pulled the disc hillers that most manufacturers say "30-35 hp minimum" for. It would be too light (I think) for moldboard type plowing. It would do it, but the plow rows would get awful wavy.

The B2410 is the fully featured version of the B7610.

For some reason, I thought they stopped making the 2410. If they still make that, then, yes, that would be the closest. Thanks for pointing that out.

I've been looking hard at green, orange, and blue. One feature that I just noticed today absolutely FLOORED me.

JD puts the differential brake pedals on the left on its hydro tractors. So what? So how on orange and blue do you use the diff brakes? Heel on the "go" pedal, toe on diff brake? It was something that brought me right back to green after writing them off due to a bad previous experience.

Something else: JD has sockets for the seat belts that clip them conveniently when you get off and on -- didn't notice this on Kubota or New Holland.

It's small touches like this that are turning me back green -- just something to consider when buying.
