We have a 2014 4520 with about 1200 hours. It only starts intermittently. When it starts it runs fine. Whether it just cranks or starts, it shows an error 207 code. After 3 trips to the dealership asking about it, they figured out that the code indicates a fault with the engine position sensor...

I'm looking at a John Deere 4520 utility with almost 2200 hours. It has been well maintained and in good condition. It has a loader with a factory cab and they want $25,500 for it.

I'm about to go look at a John Deere 4520 and the guy is asking $5500. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as to anything specific to look for and what issues would be a deal breaker. It obviously needs some tlc at that price and it's been sitting for 5 years. He said it would start with...

I just bought a 2010 John Deere 4520 with only 105 hrs on it. I live the machine, and thought the turf tires would be gentle on lawns, but they SUCK in the woods/medium mud. I would think industrial tires would do much better. Ideally would like to trade with someone who is looking for turf...

I've got a CCM toplink I want to put on my JD 4520. I've got two problem/questions about it all: 1) The toplink holder is welded on, not bolted on so it can not be removed. Mine came a bit bent, but it seems like the hoses/connections will need to be away from the tractor (toward the...
