Price Check 4310 Price Check

[Holmes57]

Need some help validating the quality of this package price:
4310 4WD, eHydro, R4s, 430 Loader, 6ft box scraper, 6ft Landscape Rake, LX6 Cutter wslip clutch, PHD with 9" and 24" augers, iMatch, and 4 rear wheel weights: $23,112 delivered. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

It would be easier to evaluate if you broke down individual prices and brands. 6ft box cutters can cost 350-1350
But it sounds like the price range is in the ballpark.

All attachments are JD/Frontier except the PHD which will probably be Landpride. Thanks for your help.

is this a new tractor or something with some hrs on it?if it's new sounds pretty good.does the dealer think this tractor will handle the lx 6 cutter ok as i will be looking into a cutter for this unit soon and am concerned about the 6' size

 

[Holmes57]

It is a new tractor with the only hour on it put on by me trying it out. The LX6 is ok behind the 4310 according to the dealer and the JD website. If you move to the medium duty MX series then 5ft is the max.
Are you happy with your JD? I am tossing and turning between NH claas 2 and 3 as well as the Kubota L3130. The JD feels like the right mix of size and power for me and I like the dealer. Thanks

Hi I am working a deal on the same tractor, and your prices look like my good quote. I am looking at the 4310 HST 4WD with 430 and 48 BH, so I can't say exactly. I have had several quotes on the same with nearly $5K differance between them... /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Holmes57, about 1 year ago I purchased a 4310 with different equipment (see my bio) and it came to $26K+ w/o the MX5... your price seems good and seeing how your happiest with the JD dealer go for it! The dealer is probably the most important part of the equation when considering Orange, Blue, or Green... he (she) can make ownership enjoyable or miserable!
Price is good dealer is great... GO FOR IT!

 

[rockyridgefarm]

What price is the LX6? I may go that way, too...

 

[Holmes57]

The LX6 is about $1400 with the slip clutch and chain guards.

Mike,

You might want to check out the Midwest brand of rotary cutters at Carter & Carter.

I'm not knocking JD's cutters but Midwest have some great specs, at about half the price.

Thanks! I was thinking about iMatch, but I'd be better off with the Midwest Quick Hitch, so it is well woth it for the savings.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gifsorry,can't tell if i'm happy with it yet,i'm waiting for it to come in /forums/images/graemlins/frown.giffor me certain things came into play when comparing the big 3,first the jd was the one that fit me the best,next nh,and then the kubota,i just felt cramped on the others and not the jd.next up here in the cold i was impressed with the ease of starting on the jd,nh started but started in my opinion,very hard.next was the the test drive on the jd and was impressed with the turning radius,i felt it turned very sharp even though it does not have "supersteer"also the dealer was very nice and an important consideration in the process as well,so overall the jd won, tractor fit best good price and good dealer treatment and recommondations on here,i feel i will be very happy /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Mopar,

You will be happy with your John Deere. It is a good tractor and from you say, you like your dealer and that is important. I have a New Holland TC29 and when winter started coming around I did also not like the way it started. I complained to my dealer and he told me that I have to run the glow plugs through two or three cycles. Which was kind of a pain. But someone else on TBN told me that I didn't have to run through cycles. I did find in the book that once you start the plugs even though the light goes out, the glow plugs stay energised. My dealer told me I had to turn the key off and back on again to get a second cycle. Using the method in the book and keeping the plugs energized for an additional 5 or 10 seconds made a major difference. My tractor starts right off now. Moral of the story, read your manual even though you think your dealer knows everything.

that makes sense to me,i had the dealer go and start a tc29 on the lot,it was cold about 5 above 0 and he had some trouble getting it started,i assume the dealer would know how to start it best in cold to show me it would be easy and if he didn't know how to do that then maybe it wasn't the dealer to be dealing with.starting was a consideration but the fit was one of the major choices for me.i'm going to the open house today at kc canary,my dealer,and check out what's going on ,maybe another test drive /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
