John Deere JD4005 Reviews
4005
Model Year: 2008
Great tractor for hunting club, bush hogging, and harrowing food plots. They are a lot easier with the 4005 instead of the old worn out tractors used in the past. Wish I would have gotten a front-end loader when I purchased it. This tractor will last a lifetime.
Pros: Lightweight and easy to pull with Chevy 1500
Cons: Needs a beverage holde

Inadvertent Find---Love It
Model Year: 2012
I had my heart set on Kubota, decided on the L3800, but local dealer really got me mad when wouldn't bother to give me a price with trade. Said he'd call on Monday. On Saturday wandered into Deere dealer, found my 4005, and bought it. This thing has not failed to do anything I've asked it, from mowing grass and brush, to plowing, spreading gravel and repairing roads, plowing snow, and running post hole digger. Once I got used to controls it became automatic and natural. I really like the geared transmission, since I just don't get the hang of the hydro statics. Just watch your speed if you put the clutch in on a hill. Only quibble is that FEL hydraulics (300CX) could have better lift capacity. Overall, I love this machine and will have it till I die!
Pros: Qualtiy build, controls accessible, dependability.
Cons: Front hydraulics could use a boost in capacity.

Best Deal in Years
Model Year: 2012
I bought 10 acres for horses a few months ago and did mega amounts of research on what would work for me. I swore no "green paint" because of the presumed cost of the paint. Boy was I mistaken. Once I got to talking business with the dealer, all the other tractors were history. I got just what I wanted/needed for a price that was in my budget and not much extra for the "green paint". I have used the heck out of this tractor as the farm had been in neglect for about 15 years and grown up bad. It's perfect size and equipped with FEL and bush hog.
Pros: Size and equipment for 10 acres needing updating and maintenance.
Cons: Two minor things: the throttle peg too close to the brake pedal and the 4WD knob is easily stepped on and engaged.

John Deere 4005 4wd 300CX Loader
Model Year: 2008
Strong Power, but light. Buy wheel weights/extra ballast with the 4wd. 300CX loader functions well but the lift capacity is limited by the hydraulic system on the tractor.
Pros: Largest compact tractor deere makes.
Cons: Low lifting capacity.
