I will be storing my 4110 at a friends house for at least 6 months. I will probably get over to drive it around every two weeks or so.

Any thoughts as to what else I should do? Any fuel stabelizer needed etc?

Thanks

Definitely a fuel stabilizer.
If you're sure you can operate the tractor (long enough to warm it up thoroughly(!!!!) which means running it around for 15-20 minutes) every two or three weeks, I wouldn't do anything else other then keeping the fuel topped off.
However, if that's unlikely, follow the storage methods described in your manual.
If you do not have a manual, or cannot find it; go to the Deere website and look at almost any manual (for a tractor) on that site. Storage is pretty much the same in all the manuals I've looked at (three, so far).

BTW, is this going to be indoor or outdoor storage? In a barn (watch for rodent damage)?

BTW, in the winter, my tractors (had three, so far) have sat for weeks to a month at a time. Other then the fuel treatment and greasing the zerks and loader cylinder rods, I didn't do anything. These machines were kept in a garage in my basement though

IF you are going to run it every 2 weeks, then I wouldn't really worry about it at all. Fill it with fuel and go from there.
Mine sits in my shed for sometimes months at a time and doesn't run, and I have never put anything in it, but dyed farm diesel fuel and Shell Rotella T motor oil.
It was new in june of 2008 and has 128 hours on it now. So, as you can tell, it sits a lot. Never had an issue with it.
