There's been NO mention of any hydro problem with the 4010 on this forum in the year I've been on it. I've, like another 4010 forum user, moved lots of gravel with the 410 loader on my 4010. In my case, it was 25 tons. Think the other user moved even more. Some people pooh pooh the 4010 with 410 loader, that it won't lift the 850# that the 410 is rated for. Well, I've filled the bucket to the brim many times. It needs about 300# on the 3 pt plus filled tires to not be a bit tippy with the bucket full of gravel. Most of my loads were down my hill and turning a bit on the hill at times (carefully).
One user with a 4010 mentioned the hydro giving out when turning full steering lock. Think they fixed that on mine. The steering gets kinda gapy if it's fully loaded and I turn too fast or near its full lock. This happens rarely though.
With the LX4 cutter, it has plenty of power. I tried it out even when very new on my neighbor's meadow that hadn't been mowed. Couldn't even tell the LX4 was back there. It could easily drive a 5' bush hog. The weight might start to become a problem with a bigger hog hanging out there though.
Haven't used a tiller, as a friend gave me his 50 year old soil ripper off his JD M that is also 18 hp. It pulled it fine, as it did with 2 huge 16" disc hillers mounted on the bar in place of the chisel plows. Attached is a picture of the ripper. I used it as 3 pt weight during much of the gravel moving. Used the LX4 for about 6 tons' worth. Not quite enough weight on the 3 pt (probably about half its 400#) from the LX4 to not be slightly tippy.
I'll take my cruise control over the 2210's cup holder any day, too.
