F3990 vs newer F3710 4wd front deck mowers

[Brown Dog]

Will both machines come out of 4wd ?

Both are basically same HP I think.

I think I’ve got one of my ZD1511 sold & wanting a 4wd for steep banks.

I don’t necessarily like the front deck running on the ground because I have rough farm Ground.

Regens are no issue as I mow 3-6hrs at a time 2 & 3 times a week.

I love my two ZD1511 72 with fluid filled rear tires but needing a 4wd in places.

I thought you just said you loved your ZD-1511??? But seriously, I know what you mean. The front mowers can take uneven ground up to a point, then you have to slow down.

My 3680 is part time 4WD (you woudn’t know it was on) or locked in 4WD and you know it’s on.

What about putting bar tires on one of your 1511’s? That was a game changer for traction for me

I do love both my ZD1511 but need a 4wd in places.

These zero do pretty well with fluid filled rears for traction & front weights to keep front end on the ground.

I’m wondering if any dealers has a leftover F3990 for cheap ….

Try Bar tires. A set is like $300.
Might be all ya need

I don’t think they’re available in 26x12-16

I think a 4wd & my ZD1511 would be a perfect combo for my application.

An F series for cheap, especially a F3990. Good luck

I had them on my ZD-331.
Maybe your 1511 takes a different tire?

Yeah, that’s true.
5 years ago a 3990 was $29,950.
I bet the new equivalent is $35,000

I meant cheap as in a couple thousand off on a new leftover F3990.

I can buy a new F3710 for $29k

I just need to find out the difference between the two models ?

Wheels & Dash are different colors by pix.

Specs looks identical on both machines.
