Hi: I was just out in my 4720 to clear some snow for the first time this winter. Probably the first time I've used the heat. A/C worked fine in the summer, etc. Odd issue - There are 6 rotatable and open/closable ports on the roof for heat & A/C. All the ones on the right were blowing hard...

Hi: A few months ago I had a weird issue. I went to start my 4720 in my barn (heated - 50 degrees) and the dash lights flashed after I tried to start it, flashed on/off, etc. Then went dead - No start and the overhead light, headlights, everything was dead but sometimes the lights would...

Hi: At the end of January 2010 I traded in my 3720 for a 4720 and got an SB1184 on the rear. Here in the NorthEast kindom of VT we never really got any significant snow after that. I tried it out for literally 2 minutes on 4 inches of snow - Seemed ok. First time using it this year (I may...

At 18hrs I wanted to change my engine oil on my 4720 to get all the crap out (put break in oil back in). I also wanted to change out the hydraulic filter (I figure the Oil is still clean) to get rid of any mfg machining junk the filter caught. Anyway, both filters say 'Hand tight' on the box...

Got a copy of my new 4720 contract in the mail. I bought the physical damage insurance since over 5 years it's not a bad deal. In the exclusions the following is mentioned as damage not covered caused by: "Any weapon employing atomic fission or fusion, or nuclear reaction or radiation, or...

Hi: I was crawling underneath my 4720 tonight and noticed a right to left keyed shaft that goes through the transmission (Above the driveshaft to the front) - not quite centered under the cab. Not hooked up to anything and it just freely spins. Anyone happen to know what this is for? Maybe...

Hi: I just (last week) traded in my 3720cab for a 4720cab. (I'll try and post some pics soon). One of the two things they didn't make exactly like my 3720 was the backup alarm. I had a cab mounted switch they put in when I got it to turn the alarm on and off. It's very annoying when it's on...

Hi: I finally got to install the Original Cab Softcab on my 2305. I was embarassed that I got it last year but never had time to put it on. :) :) For the price it seems pretty nice. I put on the mirror, additional front lights and the warning light. Not sure yet if I'll get the safety glass...

PTO Wood Chippers and Brush Shredders - Liberty Implements I'm curious if anyone has used them. Are they decent? How is operation/maintenance? I have a DR 4" right now and if I upgraded I'd probably get the 10". After not having an auto-feed I don't think I'd buy a unit that wasn't auto-feed.

Hey, does anyone know is the cab on the 4x20 series bigger than the cab on the 3x20 series? (I have a 3720 and am still thinking about trading up to a 4720). I know the tractor is bigger, but is the interior cab dimensions bigger? Does any know the dimensions of the cab (interior) on the 4x20...

Hi: I currently have a 3720cab loaded to the gills, 3rd scv, electric diverter valves, power to the rear, radio, etc. It's just over 2 years old with about 200hrs on it. The new 60 month 0% financing and 66hp 4720 has got me thinking about upgrading. The specific things I'd like on the 4720...

Hi: Deere just announced 0% for 60 months so as always it's got me thinking about upgrading my 3720cab to a 4720 cab (not sure, just thinking). If I do I always think about trying the 'super turf' golf R3's but wouldn't if I couldn't run a loader with them. Does anyone run them with a...

Hi: I was mowing yesterday and all of a sudden (Might have been at the same time I raised/lowered the 3pt hitch with the mower) the fuel gauge just dropped to E (From maybe 1/2) and the 'Low Fuel' warning light went on. I wasn't low on fuel. Just to check, I filled it up to the brim and the...

Hi: I'm about to change my Oil in my 2305 and put Synthetic in it. All the grades of Mobil 1 5/30 aren't E4/E5, CI-4/CH-4, or E3 rated. Mobile 1 Truck Diesel 5/40 meets those standards. Since it's synthetic do folks sometimes run a grade heavier? (If it was on the 'cold' grade I wouldn't...

Hi: Some time ago on one of the many thread regarding snowblowers somebody had a link to a 'convertable' rear mount PTO snowblower that could be used going backwards, or used going forward. Basically, the snowblower shell rotated so that the open part was either in the back or the front. I...
