'02 JD 4110 HST
Just a note to all t he 4110 owners ( and other tractors I'm sure) so that you don't have the same "experience" I did. I was brush hogging a fence line in somj epretty heavy brush. I came to a sopt where I needed to get off and check things out ahead. As soon as I got off the seat, the tractor died so I just thought I had forgotten to put it out of gear (HST) When I got back on it wouldn't start. I tried everything I knew, but no dice. I called a friend who does repair work on rental equipment, he came over and took one look, reached under and plugged the lock out plug back into the side of the transmission. Apparentlyl a limb or brush and snagged it and unplugged. Fired rith up... How embarrassing!!!! I was just happy nothing was broke. He make an easy 12 pack on that one. Anyway. just FYI when in heavy brush

Watch your temperature gauge too, when your clearing heavy brush. The dust and debris can really clog up your radiator grill and screen. Easy way to overheat your tractor.
