Implements : Muthing MUH 2m flail
Purchased From : Parks and Grounds, UK
Strengths I tried everything before discovering JD, there simply is no competetion for this tractor in its class. I looked at the comparable New Holland, but the tractor isn't as powerful and has no hydro available. The engine provides, stubborn, strong power that really grunts through everything. If the revs ever dip, they never do for long The load match is invaluable when mowing grass 1metre+ tall. You can mow lawn length grass at 14kph with ease. Very stable at speed. Plastic body is very tough and durable. The control placements are very well thought out, everythings always to hand. I like marked height lever on the linkage control, not just an up/down lever. The seats more comfortable as mother's Toyota Yaris. Very comfortable, I can sit on it all day happily.
Weaknesses I've had a couple of reliability issues, the pto engage knob failed, the tractor's ECU thought it was engaged when it wasn't so I couldn't start it, it was quickly sorted though. Throttle should have an electronic management system matched to the loadmatch that can apply total throttle when the engine bogs to maintain optimum revs through the really rough stuff and then back it off again automatically when the going gets a little easier.
Overall Fantastic tractor, I'd recommend it to anyone, it may be a compact tractor, but it definatly has the heart and attitude of one of its larger chassied brothers.

Overall I would definately recommend this tractor, heard other brand tractors have to tint windows for summer months, i sat in other brands, the controls are not nearly user friendly as my deer's. Parts guys, mechanics and salespeople at hollier(couldn't ask for better)

Price Paid : $26,000.00
Years of Use : 2+ Years
Implements : Front End Loder, Woods 6' Rotary Cutter & 6" Box Blade, PH Digger, 6" Disc,
Purchased From : Hollier Implement Co
Strengths Green plastic is woderful. Won't rust like my Kubota MX5000 did. This 4 cyl turbo diesel out performs my old Kubota MX5000 which was an OK Tractor. Almost 1 yr old and has 290 hours. Traded in my 2 yr old Kubota with only 250 hours. This is a much better tractor.
Weaknesses Compared to my Kubota MX5000 this JD 4320 has on weaknesses.
Overall I owned 2 Kubota tractors a 33 HP and a 50HP. My 48 HP turbo diesel John Deere is far superior. However, it cost more money than the Kubota. Is it worth it? To me it was.

Price Paid : $29,000.00
Years of Use : New Owner (0-1 Year)
Implements : 400X loader, MX6 cutter, RB2184 blade, pallet forks, weight box I-match hitch
Purchased From : Kauffman & Sons, Mishawaka, IN
Strengths Extremely versatile tractor. Have put 50 hrs on in first 90 days. Loader and I-match hitch means changing equipment in minutes w/no tools. Most times never leaving operators seat. Plenty of power, have rum out of traction on heavy jobs but never short on power.
Weaknesses Diff. lock hard to use with tennis shoes.
Some delay in getting add on accessories from Deere (items back ordered)
Overall Waited a long time to purchase a compact utility tractor. compared them all and I kept coming back to the Deere line.

Price Paid : $27,000.00
Years of Use : New Owner (0-1 Year)
Implements : 400X loader, rear blade and quick attach hitch
Purchased From : CB&C
Strengths Ease of use, never runs out of power, extreme fuel effeciency, tight turning radius, resale value must be excellent as I have looked for 2 years and now have purchased new, as used was always "as expensive"... Fits in standard garage with foldable rops, tilt steering great, left-foot dual breaks rather than right foot breaks and right foot hydro, dealer support and professionalism. Starts immediately and at 10 below zero!!! Oh, yes... It is green!
Weaknesses Lacks down pressure on 3 point
Don't care for rear posi engagement at all... If I want to keep it in posi mode, it should allow this 100% of time. Deere is great but, that is why they should know... "let the operator" be in control, and not disengage at whim!!!
Overall Fantastic unit so far. Was sold after watching the match-up against a more powerful Kubota. This tractor has more "grunt" than anything in the class, period. I have drug a 2 ton + log, uphill from the woods, practically at idle! Simply incredible! Without loadmatch... forget it, impossible!
