Wow those are great prices.

Does anybody know how a t4.75 would match up to a Massey Ferguson 4608??? I am considering trading my tn75s because every time I need a part it takes 4 days and I am really growing weary of that. We have the largest MF dealer in the USA here and they don't have that problem. The NH and MF dealerships are in the same building with the same owners. They also sell Mahindra. Somebody give me some feedback please. TIA

Never really looked at the 4608, but from what i have read it seems to match up pretty close to the t4.75s. The 4608 it'll has a little more horsepower Also.

Purchased a T4.75 with the works back in June 2011. It arrived approx 1 month ago. Agree with another posting. Supposedly NH was working out the kinks before it was shipped to the states. While the tractor seems fine so far, it's too early to tell. I have discovered several issues with it.

1. No parking brake with the 12x12 tranny. Not sure about the other transmission. It has a parking position similar to the JD quad range. Problem is with hooking up a wagon, etc. It works like an auto transmission. You can't position the tractor exactly where you need it. It can move a inch or two in either direction. Sometimes it is difficult to get into the park position as well. It just won't go without moving the tractoro a little (forward/reverse) for it to find the correct position. Could be something with being new, but suspect an issue. Why can't engineers leave things alone that work! The good ole parking brake is very effective on my TN and T6000s.

2. Do not purchase the self-leveling loader if you are going to use it for anything except loading pallets on trucks and the load is level when you start. The bucket cylinders are too short and you have no movement of the bucket. At ground level, you can only tilt it approx 30 degrees. They say they are working on a fix. Response is fine for European consumer, but not US consumer???? Do not know the difference in the consumer. Maybe they don't move ground, wood, brush, round bales, etc over there.

3. Am told one must purchase the loader with tractor, so if it doesn't have one, it will be another brand of loader for you if you need a loader. Another issue with the loader is greasing the rear loader pins. The zerks are on the inside where they can be gotten without taking the loader off (to tight to the tractor hood).

4. The radio speakers appear to be of very poor quality. Not a surprise, but the tractor manufacturers need to understand that with the decibal levels of this equipment, there is a need for quality clear speakers. It not having bluetooth capability is a little surprise given this tractor is to be new from ground up.

5. Do like the hydraulic shuttle. Smooth and easy to use .

I just wanted to post about the issue with the self leveling loader. I emailed a dealer and asked about the issue you mentioned. Here is what they said:

They made a change in the valve on the the loader tractor because the self level was not working right. That issue was taken care of at the factory months ago.

So it seems like the issue has been resolved in the newer tractors. It may be something you guys that are interested in buying a new Powerstar should check into, to be sure the new tractor your buying has the "fix" and isn't an older one that was "pre-loader fix".

Any new 4.75 owners out there?

Just got mine in 2 weeks ago. Generally happy with it. I had a Case C 80 before, so I feel like the NH is a little underpowered, but I may just be imagining it.

Very easy to operate. A/C works so well you could hang meat in it.

Ive been looking at the t4.75. I was quoted with loader and cab $36000. Does any one know how big of a round baler this tractor can handle?

****, what a deal! I wasn't able to get anywhere near that

I just got a 4.75 a couple months ago. Had an issue with the 4 wheel drive not engaging. My dealer took care of it quick. Just a solenoid.
Also picked up an H7320 discbine and a BR7050 so far I have put up 200 rolls. Everything has worked like it should. Very pleased with New Holland.
