Raltn 09-13-2012 14:35:00 50.142.97.75 Report to Moderator	Think I'll put my roll a matic back under my JD 4000 when I can get it in the shop. Also would like input from you guys about running a lock on it. I don't have the lock but thinking about hunting one. My ROM is the 4 bolt heavy one. So is a lock good or bad and why. Where would you find one if I decide to use one. Thanks for you help. [Reply]   [No Email]

That is what the lock was designed for. Otherwise, let the ROM do it's thing. It was a tremendous advantage over the conventional front end. Mike [Reply]  [No Email]

Dad owned both those tractors at the same time, and honestly, niether of us could notice any difference in how they handled or rode. [Reply]  [No Email]

We have a couple that we use on lighter tractors. Would think maybe the 4000 might be a little heavy for one under normal working cond every day. [Reply]  [No Email]
