I have had my 4110 for about 8 years now with a Bradco hoe attachment. Have not had any serious issues and I have used it pretty hard. Bought it primarily to dig my 600 ft driveway and spread the 40 or so tri-axles of gravel. If you are thinking about adding a hoe, consider the pto pump. The flow rates on the tractor pumps are usually to small. Now it mostly gets used for snow plowing, wood and picking up recently deceased whitetails.
