New DK4710SE cab

[Dave Canfield]

Hi All,
The tractor I ordered last October has finally arrived (well mostly). I ordered most of the options including: third function, rear wiper, linked pedal, PTO cruise, HST cruise, telescopic links and second remote.
Attachments and implements:
backhoe (still waiting for that),
2" capacity mower (wrong one delivered - rejected and purchased from another dealer), landscape rake, tiller, grapple (on order 12 week lead time), big tool Rack (due next week).
I plan to use my rollover scraper, flail mower, tandem disc, and rear blade from my 1959 Case 310b and 1941 Farmall H.
So far I really like the tractor. The only defect I have noticed is that the 4x4 indicator does not come on when I engage four wheel drive. I can see the indicator light up when I turn the starter on, so I think the switch is not sensing the lever or not connected. I plan to take a look at that this weekend.
I also need to trim the PTO shaft for the tiller and try that out.
It has been very nice to be able to go out after work and mow in the rain and snow. This is about the only time of year that is safe to mow around here. I received the tractor just in time because it may not rain much more this year.
Has anyone come up with a good set of lights for lighting out the sides of the tractor? I was eyeing the beacon light brackets for mounting some LEDs.

Thanks for all the problem and review posts! They really help when making a buying decision.

Could you please back up the tractor a little? It's blocking the view of that sweet Land Cruiser! Seriously though, congratulations on the tractor. I love my older DK40SE.

I do not believe the 4WD indicator light is set up for that tractor - each model offers different standard features, however the indicator lights are included with them all and come on at start up - mine does not activate the 4WD light when in gear but will at start up - my prior 2610 did not activate the parking brake light when using, but lite at start up etc....

I took delivery of a new CK3510 in January and had the same question about the 4WD indicator light. I was told the light was only active on models with electronic (not manual) 4WD engagement.

Interesting. That would be disappointing! Then they must use the same instrument cluster/ display for all of their tractors. If this is true, they should at least put a cheesy piece of tape over the idiot lights that don't actually indicate anything.
A user could look at the dashboard and assume that they were not in four wheel drive, causing major damage to the drivetrain. This could happen because the indicator went on at start and then went back off.

Yes, they use the same IP across model lines. I agree that it causes confusion.
