JD 4310 for $23

[Robert_in_NY]

Should I get it?

Only if it has the tranny you like... /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Now Robert... is it hydro or gear... ?/w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

Personally,
I would rather have the R-1 tires,if it were mine./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Scott...

I dunno... this unit just came out this year... besides... the $23. may not be the best price... /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

I would spend at least a month of vacation time and call long distance maybe at least 250 JD dealers around the world... just maybe... maybe someone has it cheaper... than $23... ? /w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

You may have a point there....Maybe even buy one long distance and have it hauled in on a semi....Might wait a year and get a good price on a used one,that way they might have some of the bugs worked out of it......I hope it is not a turf destroyer.....I don't want to tear up the yard when I push it around.

Any word on possible rebates?

 

[Robert_in_NY]

I am not sure of the tranny but it does come with a MMM and front mounted snow blower so I don't think I can pass this deal up. I am going to probally buy it from a out of state dealer though as I doubt I will have any warranty issues with a JD and the out of state dealer is a few dollars cheaper. Do you think it will fit on my 16' utility trailer or should I hire someone to haul it?

Do you think I would be ok if I bought this one and hauled it with my Yugo pickup. Oh yea and hey Robert do you mind if I borrow your 16' trailer to pull it with. Or should I just buy my own 12' trailer to haul it on. I found one but the floor needs replaced. What do you think the best way to replace the boards is? /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

On the surface it does seem like a good deal but with a bit of good old fashioned negotiating I'll bet you can get the dealer to throw in TnT, some work lights, and a free 50 hour service. Of course the downside is it appears you are about to buy a tractor without a FEL. Shame on you /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Finally, how much does your budget allow ya...

Lastly... how many acres are you going to use this workhorse on...? /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
