A 4120 with R4 tires in the narrow setting (which most of us have) is about 71 inches wide. If you turn the wheels out to the wide setting it is 91 inches I have heard here on this forum. Both of my similar tractors with these tires (the 110tlb and the 4520) are 71 inches width, just narrower than the 72" bucket and 73" tiller.

My 110 TLB with 4" additional wheel spacing fits just fine on my 83" trailer. It has the same size R4's as the 4120 and wheelbase.
If the 4120 has R4's - should not be a problem.

Let me try to clear this up; If I had a chance to buy a 4120 at the price you are talking about the trailer would be the least of my worries. The measurment sounds a bit on the wide side to me, but I'm sure this is the max setting and maybe even with a wide turf type set-up. This is a no brainer decision; go with the 4120 if for nothing else than the re-sale value if you aren't happy with it; the price you could get used will be enough to purchase a 3320 at a later date! I would bet you could sell your current trailer for enough to buy one with enough capacity to hande your new equipment with very little out of your pocket. Quit wasting your time and GET THE 4120.
I have had a 4120 for 5 years and it has been great. I would not recommend it as a lawn mowing tractor due to the size. Get yourself a zero turn for the lawn and put R1 tires on the 4120, which will also takes care of your width issue. You will find that the 4120 can develop a lot more traction with R1's than it can with R4's. My nieghbor has a 4720 with R4's and I can move dirt a lot faster than he can, in spite of his hp advantage, because I can get most of my power to the ground with loaded R1's, while he does a lot of spinning with unloaded R4's. My primary task with the 4120 is running a 6 ft brush-hog and I have never felt a need for any more power operating that tool. I have a couple 12 hp lawn tractors that I can use to cut the lawn around my house in under an hour (thats as long as I can stand doing that job). The rest of my acreage is maintained with the brush-hog/4120, which is way more enjoyable to operate than those little lawn tractors. Their turf tires keep the lawn nice and neat up by the house so that the wife stays happy.

I would stay with the R4 tires with either wheel weights or liquid ballast until I found a real need to change. I have R4s' on two of mine and R1's on the 820, they all work pretty well.
DennisH,
I have a JD 4120, w/PowrReverser, 400CX FEL & R4 tires it has been a good tractor no problems thus far. Don't want to sway you but like other's on here have said, the price you have been quoted for the 4120 is very good, don't let it slip away to someone else.
