New 4105

[gamble77]

Got our first one in yesterday. Bascially same frame size as the 3203. 3-cylinder, 1.5L, 40.4hp Yanmar Diesel. 2-range hydrostatic just like the 3203. Same "lay-out" as the 3203. Deere recommends the 300CX loader.

This machine is basically taking the place of the 990 and the price has not increased at all...which is great considering all the "upgrades" you are getting. Thought you guys might like to see this, enjoy!

Would you happen to know what the 790 will be replaced with and the cost of one with MFWD and with what upgrades. Thanks....Ricky T.

That's the same frame size as the 3203? Looks more like a large chassis CUT than a medium one.

The 4105 is not the replacement for the 990... The 4105 is a "new" hydrostatic (non eHydro) large frame CUT. It is based on, and is very similar to the 3203 - and it does take the 300CX loader.

The replacements for the 790 and 990 will be the 3005 and the 4005. Interim Tier 4 engines, as well as new decals will be the only changes on these tractors. Deere is changing the model numbers so that they are more in line with the rest of the lineup.

Well there ya go, I stand corrected! However, all things being equal (such as price) not many people would buy a 990 over this.

"John Deere LX178 Lawn Tractor w/Mower, Snowblower & Plow - I know it is not a CUT, but I only have 1/2 acre! "

Gamble and BleedGreen,

I had seen this in the little show book that my dealer brought back for me to peruse. I like the looks of the tractor. It seems as though it will be pretty powerful for its size, as it appears to be on a 3000 series frame size but with the larger 4000 series running gear. My question is: Do they feel this will sell well???? The 3203's in my area are not very popular. Most going in this size are either going 3120 or 3320. Is the pricing going to be favorable enough to lure potential 4120 customers??

I think it will sell better than the 990. To step up from this into say a 4120 you are looking at another 4K...I think that alone will steer people towards this. I believe this will sell much better than the 3203.

Looks nice, but confusing numbering. 4105? 40 hp? The 4100 and 4110 were 20 hp. The 2004ish 4010 is 18.5 hp, but older ones were montrous machines!

The 3203 has done OK for us - not a huge seller - but decent. My hunch is that the 4105 will do much better in comparison.

As far as the model numbers go - all of the Deere CUTs used to be labeled as 4000's... They have since gone to the new numbering system, 2000 (SCUT & Small Frame CUT) 3000 (Mid Frame CUT) and 4000 (Large Frame CUT). I totally agree that this is confusing when comparing with the old 4000 series...

Tell Deere that its owners would REALLY appreciate it if they would make a straightforward numbering system for both frame size and engine hp, and then stick with it. I can basically make sense of current models, but only have to go back a few years before I'm hopelessly confused. The 4xxx series historically seems to include models from 20hp to over 100hp, orders of magnitude apart.

Odd that they'd return to old-style lighting. Sometimes I wonder if they don't purposely build new models with future upgrades in mind from the start. It looks like the entire black plastic headlight surround is destined for a redesign.

Just bought a 4105 a month ago, 300 CX w/heavy duty bucket, Frontier Box Blade, and MX 6 mower. I have to say that the 4105 is perfect for my needs. It doesn't have the mid pto, but other than that, its been great. I am building a log home on acreage in eastern North Dakota, and needed something that could cut brush (CRP grass), work the driveway (1/3 mile), and lift extremely heavy red pine. I was comparing the 4105 to the 3520. While the 3520 has a lot more creature comforts and convenience items (cruise, etc.), the 4105 I must say has already proven to be an AWESOME tractor. I think the price for the tractor was only around $17.5 or so, a couple thousand at least less than the 3520.

So far, I have backfilled monster piles of solid and wet clay, moved over 60 yards of sand into our pad area, lifted and moved logs, and a lot of other things. The tractor has handled everything well without difficulty, and has actually exceeded my expectations so far.
