Everyone is right. I have a 2110 which is a 2000/3000 with short stubby axles. I plan to change them out if a good deal comes around. Until then, I put 12.4/28 on the back and 7.50-16 on the front. Almost level. Had to install the fronts dish out to insure enough clearance for the steering cylinders.
Here are some before and after pics
I have seen the 4110 version and it is very similar in overall size to mine.
I don't agree about wildly fast. Yes it can go faster in 8th gear on the road, but first is still slow enough to run my square baler and not overfeed the pickup.
I am not advocating others to do what I did. If I knew better, I would have not bought it. Having what I have now, a mutt, is ok for my needs. If I sell it, it will be to buy a more powerful diesel tractor, but as it sets, it gets the job done and works well for raking, square baling and running the bushhog.
Tires and rims were expensive. I had to buy rear rims, and centers. Then used tires that did not hold up, so bought new imports this year. Fronts needed new rims and found a good set of used rib tires. Could have used old truck tires there. Good used tires in the 28 in size are rare. I spent $1100 to get where I am at now. $700 of that was for the new import tires (not pictured) when I finally gave up trying to find good used tires.
Rod is right, sell it and buy something more appropriate to your needs.

Today's Featured Article - Experimental Tractors Article - by Danny Bowes (Dsl). Tractor technology appears to have nearly hit it's pinnacle of development. If you agreed with the subtitle, you are rather mistaken. Quite, actually. As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
