I'm happy to say I made a purchase over the weekend. I really would have liked that 4410 with the loader and MMM, but my wife didn't want us to spend that much right now. So instead, I broadened my search all the way to St Louis and found a 2005 JD 4310 with e-hydro, 4x4, and just 115 hrs. When I drove down to see it, it was garage kept with a cement floor and in perfect condition - all the factory paint marks on the bolts was still clear. The owner was one of the nicest guys you'd ever meet and had only been using it for mowing with a rear finish mower. I bought it for $10,800, and picked up an almost new 72" MMM deck on the ride home for $900.
The unfortunate things about it are that it has no loader, no mid pto, no mid mower lift kit, etc. So I'm going to start piecing all of that stuff together after I do the research and figure out exactly what I need. I'm trying on to figure out all of the part numbers.
Anyways, I'm super excited about my purchase and I've already put two hours on it doing some much needed gravel work with an 84" rear blade which it handled extremely well! After using it now for a couple of hours I'm glad I didn't go any smaller, it's the perfect size for my needs.
I'll post pictures when I can.
