"It mows four acres of rough ground and steep areas and it does it while pulling a swisher that trashed the two previous riding mowers.
The only problem so far was voltage regulator. The dealer managed to add this and that, and next thing I know the bill was $500 plus.
It runs a posthole digger and a 5-foot box blade well. It is a heavy duty little rig.

"I know exactly what the hard starting problem is. I am a retired John Deere master technician. These tractors have the neutral safety switch under the floor if hydrostatic drive activated by f-r pedals. there is no adjustment. If it won't start kick the pedals, I bet it will go."

"Tractor was very difficult to start. Checked glow plugs and all of them open. Replaced all the glow plugs. Tractor starts easy at 0 degrees with 2- 3 second hits on the glow plugs. Toughest piece of iron that I have ever owned."

"I did not see 4200 compact tractor but 4100 anyway this tractor has been unreliable. It will not start for no apparent reason and then start. I have sent it to dealer numerous times and they charge me big $.
It comes back and soon same problems. It is made of plastic and the front grill area came off in tall weeds. A limb fell and cracked the top. It is an expensive tractor to maintain and repair."

"A very nice tractor for yard work. It is very fuel efficient yet plenty of power to run loader, blade work or mowing. I would buy another one but I have no reason to replace it. I just put my first battery in it 2 years ago! I am very happy with this tractor."

"I bought this tractor to clean up my parent's property after my father died. I have since found many uses for it around my own place and my son and son in law have borrowed it many times. I have the front end loader and the mid-mount mower accessories. The loader is the most useful item.
The tractor get as much use in the winter as it does in the summer doing snow removal for me and a couple of my neighbors. I also keep the street in front of my house clear and as wide as it is in the summer. This is a great machine."

"No need to say much. Anyone owning one of these gems will NEVER sell it. Anybody wanting one of these will NEVER find it. Possibly the best tractor John Deere ever built, BUT built in Japan.
