"The 4005 has a light frame which bolts directly to the oil pan. If the machine is worked hard, the bolts either break off or fall out. To replace the broken ones, the engine has to be removed and the pan replaced. The others need continual tightening. This machine is only good for light duty. Don't even think of running a small square hay bailer on this machine! It is a money pit!"
"I purchased the 4105 primarily because I needed a backhoe and the 3032E that I had would not accept one. The 4105 was my first choice when I bought the 3032E. The salesman did a fantastic job of talking me out of the backhoe. That was a first for me to have a salesman do that. I'm not sorry he did either. After a while, I determined that I needed the hoe and traded up. Overall a good choice. It's been what I needed from the beginning."
"I have put 230 hours on my 4105 and 300 loader. From plowing to mowing, tilling, and snow removal it has performed everything I have asked of it and more. Good tractor for the money. "
"Here's my somewhat disjointed review: I agonized over my tractor decision, and worried that this tractor would be "enough" for my small horse farm. To date, it's done everything I need it to do. The loader specs aren't so great compared to other tractors I looked at, but it lifts overflowing buckets of gravel and can pull fence posts out of the ground. For my uses, I haven't yet found anything I couldn't lift. One disappointment: there is no JD factor kit for adding rear remotes. There are aftermarket ways, but for me it is complicated. I'd like to have a grapple one day, but it will be expensive and somewhat difficult to do. This is a basic tractor without fancy features. The 4WD works great and I haven't been able to get stuck even with R4s and muddy pastures. A suspension seat would be nice for long days mowing in the field as it gets pretty uncomfortable bouncing around. The gauges are usually "frozen" at start up, but a couple solid whacks on the dash make them work again right away every time. Although the JD quick attach system works well for loader attachments, I still hate it because I can't buy common skid steer attachments. Very rarely does a JD quick attach loader tool come up for sale on Craigslist, etc. If you want front forks for example, you have to be willing to buy price new JD forks (or pricey aftermarket forks with JD quick attach, which are rare). "
"My tractor has the loader mounted on it. The loader arms are racked from lifting something that was heavier on side than the other. The dealer would hot correct it. How can you engineer a loader system that is powerful enough to lift something but built to weak that it deforms while lifting."
"When I got this tractor home I was impressed at the power it made when running a 6 ft bush hog in heavy grass and its stability on hills. Putting on and taking off the front loader takes about 3-5 minutes, and the ease of switching out loader implements is just as impressive. The hydro-static transmission is great no shifting other than high or low range. It holds back really well even with a loaded trailer behind, and it's the best thing I've ever owned when it comes to using the front loader, mowing, and working in the hay. I simply cant say enough about this tractor. The turbo charged diesel recovers quickly if it bogs down which is rare. Fuel usage is much better than the previous 30 hp tractor I owned. "
"Great little tractor."
"The reason that I took awhile before reviewing my tractor is that, because I live in NE, Tasmania, an Island State, there were delivery delays. The tractor itself + CX300 arm & drag harrow was delivered in a respectable 5 weeks. It was the remaining implements by other manufacturers that took so long (14 weeks) to get here. Due to the good advice of a neighbor, TBN, and the JD salesman, I bought the right tractor for what I needed done. Indeed, the salesman gave me a better & less expensive option (less 'pretties', more grunt), which I went for. Getting the iMatch quick-hitch is a must-have. The JD 655 tiller is great & well worth the investment. I was nervous the first time I used it due to some known tree roots but the implement handled the roots without a problem. Other than the 4-in-1 bucket for the FEL, I purchased a combination fork lift/bale spike. The forks are easily removed, to be replaced by an all-in-one dual spike attachment. Simple."
"The John Deere 4105 is a 42 h.p. front wheel assist which is a must with ballast or wheel weights. The size of the wheel-base is adequate for a mix of open field work or close quarters within woods, forest, and close working conditions. Attachments are available and would recommend the quick attach system."
"As this is my first tractor, I don't have any reference to compare it to. This tractor is doing what I wanted it for. I purchased a John Deere MX6 Rotary Cutter and a Frontier RT1165 rotary tiller at the same time. Both items had a problem right out of the box. The tiller was leaking oil on the drive shaft. The cutter drive shaft cover was rubbing on the drive shaft clutch. The dealer repaired both, but it took two weeks to get parts for the cutter. Overall I am satisfied with my first tractor. I use it to maintain 8 acres of flat farm land. The first time I cut my field it was about 3 to 4 feet tall. The cutter ripped right through it. I tilled about 2 acres with no problem."
