john deere 4310

Is the dealer going to let you switch without taking too much of a hit? If so you had better do it soon. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I don't think the 3020 series will be out for several months and it sounds like you are in the middle of a big job... /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Going up hill with 700 lbs in the loader sounds well within the realm of the 4310. The 4410 will give a few extra hp but nothing life-changing. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

What has you dealer said about it bogging on you? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Have you considered a larger frame 4120 or 4320? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Oh, and by the way, Mike uses his 4310 like a 4720. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I have a 4300. I was a little disapponted with the power output. 60" mower and a TracVac when the trailer got 1/2 full on my hills, not mountains.. Now my point. at about 100 hours the power inproved a lot. and kept getting better. At 200 hrs + I have no more complaints. Some new engine are very tight. My dealer agrees and would not try to adjust the engine until I had a least 100 hours.
I think you will see improvements as the engine is broken in.

My 2 cents worth on the 4410 only 3 or 4 horsepower not worth the extra money.

Good luck
