About a year ago I started getting serious about buying a tractor with AC. I started out looking at used tractors big enough to pull a 15 foot batwing. I might have looked at every single brand out there, I went to quite a few places with plenty of used tractors to look at. While I was looking, the prices for those used tractors began to go up, and then really go up! I took a step back and reconsidered what I really needed, and what I was willing to spend. A thread on here about he Massey 4707 caught my eye and I started reading up on it.
The more I read about it, the more I liked it. A local dealer had one in stock, but I know three people who told me that I would regret buying from him. I know them well enough to listen to their advice. During this time I was also watching YouTube videos on the 4707 and the other 4700 models. Nick Pomeroy of
PR Equipment | Kerens, TX | Agricultural Equipment Dealer has some good videos, and he's an hour away from me. He's building a bigger, nicer shop and putting a lot of money into his dealership. He's very motivated to be the best dealer around and in my opinion, doing a good job of accomplishing this.
Back in November, Massey was offering a zero percent interest on financing the tractor with zero down and 84 months to pay for it. We agreed to a price of $55,348 with $662 a month for payments. 7 months later, it is now at my place. When I signed the paper for it back in November, I knew it would be awhile. I also thought that the price would increase and if I didn't do it then, I would miss out on a price and financing that I would regret.
One of the benefits to waiting so long is that I ended up getting a 2022 model for a 2021 price. For this year, Massey put a new AC system and roof on their 4700 tractors. Nick told me that before he delivers the tractor, he would modify the AC system to make it better. There are some posts on FB about the AC not being as good as it could. After driving it around for a little bit yesterday, I can say that the new AC system is amazing!!! 101 was the high temp for the day, and I was very comfortable inside the cab. I started out with the fan on 2, and then turned it down to 1. When my wife got home, I turned it back up to 2 so she could see how cold it was inside the cab when we went for a drive. She said that the buddy seat was very comfortable!!!
The Massey Ferguson 4707 4x4 Deluxe has 70 HP and it is fully loaded. I have a radio, air ride seat, sun screen, wipers, 3 mirrors, 10 AC vents, 2 remotes, fender controls on both sides to raise and lower the 3 point arms, telescopic Category 2 lift arms, 540 and 540E PTO. It does not have DEF, and it does not REGEN. I honestly never thought a tractor could be so nice, or comfortable!!!

I like the tubing welded onto the front. I carry chain underfoot, which is a nuisance. Being able to toss it on the mower without it falling off would be a great upgrade, and would only take a few minutes. It would take longer to clean the chaff off the mower deck that it would take to weld a little angle iron on.
