john deere 4720

Hi, I have a late model cabbed John Deere 4720 2018. It already has 3 services fitted to the rear and it was recently fitted with a 440R loader with joystick. I would now like to fit a grab on the loader but am not sure what bits I need and wondered if anyone could help. I've attached a few...

Can you tell me what Model # loader you have on your Tractor?

Hello. New member here. I have a JD4720 tractor with a cab. If I pull the transmission dipstick when it’s warm, there is a large release of pressure. I don’t think this normal. Is there a vent that could be plugged? If so, where is it located. Thank you.

Hi, Does anyone have guidance for removing this screen. I have removed the two bolts from the L Bracket as manual instructs but cannot figure out how to remove the bracket from the housing that houses the screen? Any guidance would be greatly appreciate. Thank you, Saxe

John Deere 4600 shuts off when put in gear, I bypassed the seat switch which is just a year old, same results. It doesn't stall out, it shuts down, Not sure if it is a fuse, or another switch that might be the issue. Checked wire harness and don't see any breaks of chewing up to the engine.

So I recently acquired a Woods D80-2 Bush hog, that has a single hydrualic line for raise and lower rear wheels. My SCV has hydraulic connections. Do I just plug the single hose into the one hydraulic port and it will work? I'm a little nervous as I have used only implements that had a pair...

Hi All, I have a JD 4600. I can not get it to go into 4WD. The linkage is intact and the handle rotates the shaft on the side of the trans. The roll pin is in place and the shaft moves in both directions when the handle is raised or pushed down. I am going to jack up the front wheel and see if...

I am trying to figure out how to properly shim the front axle hub shaft bearings. My passenger side had no shims while the drivers had one. I replaced all bearings, seals, races and put it back exactly how I took it apart, but my hub shaft on the passenger side is too tight at the proper...

Hello all. I have been a member a long time but not ever said much., I have done pretty much everything with a midsize excavator. For the record I have been on and off about anything that moves dirt or digs in last 30 yrs as an electrical contractor. Tractors were not high on that list, most of...

I've got a 3-spool SCV valve installed - two to run the loader and one spool for aux - that has a part number of AM124916 stamped on it. I've got a bent spool (#1 position for bucket up/down) that I'm trying to source. John Deere doesn't have any record of that part number, but shows a new...

I have a 2000 John Deere 4600 tractor. While using the tractor, I smelled a strong odor of burning insulation and the charge light came on and the tachometer went dead. I disconnected all of the wires from the alternator and checked the output. It was dead - no output. I replaced the...

I have a JD 4720. Specs states 2500psi 17.1 gpm hydraulic flow. 5.1 gpm steering 12.0 gpm pump flow My question is on the 12.0 gpm pump flow, If the tractor is not moving how much of that 12 gpm makes it to the rear hydraulic port (power beyond) for available flow. It runs everything I...

Going to buy my first tractor (used) this year. Small farm/property: ~40 acres. Mostly woods with hills, some fields, some old fields that are 10yrs overgrown I want to reclaim. So mostly my use would be: brush hogging, reclaiming fields, making trails through the woods, possibly clearing some...

I have a JD 2003 5520 cab tractor that the fuel gauge went bad on several years ago. When empty, the gauge reads full and when full the gauge reads way past full. I also have a 2000 JD 4600 that developed the same problem today. I went to a JD dealer about the problem on the 5520 tractor...

Found that the Blower motor Resistor pack .75+.75- 216/22 on my John Deere 4720 I use for moving round bales and feeding is bad. Trying to locate this part in the USA. Both of mine are bad and JD wants me to replace the entire blower motor when all that is needed is this resistor pack. I found...

Hey everyone, So I might have bit off a bit more than I can chew with this project. I am not a mechanic and have never worked on a diesel motor but consider myself handy. I have a JD 4600. When I first bought it, it seemed ok. Not great but ok. As a few weeks passed, it started getting a ton...

mice have made a nest in the upper roof assembly on my JD 4720. I looked where the air filter is and could not find anything. But it smells bad, blows “bedding” out, and water was backing up in the roof area. I noticed because I’d been running it for a while and when I went over a sideways bump...

When I try to start my John Deere 4600 sometimes it will turn over as it should and sometimes it will spin without engaging the flywheel. It grinds on the flywheel. I am wondering if it could be the thermistor or some other problem.

Hello all, I have a JD 4720 that has approx. 1100hrs. It has just started running rough when the engine gets a load on it. It acts like it is getting air in the fuel to me. My best description. I have drained the fuel tank,replaced the fuel filter, and replaced the fuel filter housing/priming...

I have an exhaust pipe for a JD 4600 tractor, available for the cost of shipping + $15 for my hassle to get it shipped off. A couple years ago, I replaced the lower exhaust pipe on my 4600 tractor with the kit that brings the exhaust up. I got tired of smelling exhaust fumes from the pipe...

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...

Torn on this. Looking at a used tractor. On one hand that is twice as many hours as I would to see. On the other hand I have seen the same model for sale with up to 8000 hours. Whether the latter got there with the original engine and hydro pump is not known. Good (or poor) maintenance can make...

I am going to start off this post with a bit of discontent. I was given advise that is was impossible or unfeasible to put a mid mower on a 4x20 4000 twenty series tractor. Before I purchased my new to me JD 4720, I had a 955 with r4s, a 60" deck, and a backhoe. Before that I had a 755 that I...

I have a JD 4720 that cranks over but won't start. The last time it ran was two months ago and started just fine at that time. I've done a ton of research on this forum but haven't been able to figure it out. Most common problems have pointed to the solenoid or the thermistor. I tested every...

I went out to start my 4720 and error code 203,200, 86, 209 and 207 popped up with no ability to go past idle. Anyone have any idea what that error code states? Thanks!

The RPMs suddenly went to the max and the speed lever would not slow it down no matter what I did. Could only shut it off by clamping the fuel hose The tractor would not go off by turning the start key and the tractor would not go forward or in reverse I was told it is most likely a...

Thinking about upgrading the 2-4720 we curently use for 2 new 4066r's or any comparable tractors. Looking for any opinions or info. The 4720s have been such good units just getting a little long in the tooth. Thanks

I have a 2000 JD 4600 that the squirrels chewed the pto wires where the harness travels over the rear end and drops into the pto solenoid. There are two wires that go to the solenoid connector and two that tee off to somewhere else.The problem is that it appears that they completely took the...

I can't seem to find any directions to removing and replacing the PTO solenoid. There is a plastic nut on top of it, that seems to make not difference and when I try to turn the solenoid to unscrew it, the cover just turns. So, I can't quite figure out how to remove. From parts pictures, it...

Anyone have any advice on adjusting the parking brake on my 4720? I can pull mine all the way up very easy and tops out It holds ok but really needs a little more I think. Do I have to pull the rear tire?

My 4720 was under 6' of flood water and I'm trying to get it going again. The entire south Louisiana area was flooded and mechanics are booked up and I desperately need to get this machine back to work. After draining oil and water from base, I removed the exhaust manifold and valve cover...

Even though I ended up getting rid of the 4720, by this video you can see that she did her work admirably!

I'm not sure if I have posted this already a few months ago, but in reading some of the recent Kioti Posts I though this might be a good thing to share. I made this video to demonstrate why I decided to keep my NX6010 and sell my John Deere 4720. I owned both of them at the same time for about a...

I'm looking at a 2005 JD 4720 with FEL and 72" mid mount. Looks in great condition and either well taken care of (that's the claim) or recently refurbished with all new cosmetics. Only challenge is the hours at slightly over 6200. Claim is tractor was used primarily for acreage mowing and...

I have a 485 John Deere backhoe attachment and I ordered a Power Beyond and installed it on my 4720#810234 open station I also ordered at the same time a 3ird SCV (which is operated with electrical switch and is all John Deere) I installed the power beyond and was reading the instructions with...

Hopefully someone has an answer to what might be happening. Today as I am working my box blade with my 2013 JD 4720 tractor, the 3rd scv sticks and runs the top link all the way out. You can hear the pump bypassing. I have tried working the rocker switch on the console as well as the control...

hello. I just purchased a john deere 4600 for a rather good deal and there is a steady white smoke coming out of the breather tube. The tractor only has 840 hours on it but it appears that it got hot or overheated at one time because the plastic side cover on the left side of motor has sunken in...

Hi everyone, I just joined this forum, but I have been reading it for some time and have learned a lot. I bought a 2008 JD 4720 ehydro this past summer for use on a hobby farm. (30 cow calf pairs, hay ground, etc). I was afraid it was too small, but I have been amazed by its power and...

Hey everyone. Finally got some time to work on the JD. I've got the new range shifter rod in, and everything back together enough to run it. I have 2 issues right now. The first I noticed was the light for the glow plugs is not coming on. I looked and searched through the manual for glow plugs...

Im across a creek and no way to tow home so I need to fix where its at. When I engage starter it just clicks or turns the engine just slightly. Had both new starter and battery checked and there good. Cable from battery to solenoid is good. I switched relays and yes PTO is off. Please give me...

I saw a similar post with a different loader from mine. My loader has round opposed to the more square ends. There was a shim kit available for it .... has anyone used a shim kit on the 400x loader to fix this problem?

Does anyone know what the serial number range is for the creep to reposition feature for the 4720 tractor? From what I can find, it is a feature that added somewhere in 2011. When I look it up, it says to check literature for serial number sequence as to when it was introduced but I cannot find...

Hi everyone. I'm new to tractors/diesel engines, and don't know much, other than I could sure use one. Never even drove one, but I've used quite a few skidsteers and trackhoes over the years (rentals). I've also done most of my own work on cars and small engines. So my friends have this JD that...

Dad was using the tractor when he parked it I noticed an oil leak under neath it. Near as I can tell it hydraulic as its a clear oil. Following it up the back of the engine, it appears to be coming from somewhere behind, underneath the fuel tank. Anyone have any idea what it is or how to fix it...

The 400 CX loader on my 4720 Hydro suddenly will not raise further than 13" (of 26") of ram length. Hydraulic fluid is full and recently changed. I've owned the tractor for 10 yrs. and 1000+ hrs. Was hauling heavy stumps yesterday, by no means the heaviest load I've carried, when suddenly...

Was using the 3pt when the rock bar lever got real loose. I used to be able to set it at any mid position and it would hold that position. Now it is real loose at any midpoint, it's either all the way up or all the way down. Any idea what I may have broken? Any idea how I can fix it? Thanks in...

What are your thoughts about using a pull behind 10ft bush hog behind a JD 4720? I know the 4720 is considered a compact tractor, but this would be using a pull behind cutter with 66/56hp at the pto. Fairly level conditions with a FEL and 4WD.

Hello Everyone, I have an existing JD 4720 (66HP) with FEL and adapter plates to accept skid steer attachments. I have access to a 60" Rockhound Rake which was on a Skidsteer. How would I hook up the hydraulics to the rear of the tractor to run the Rockhound. Any help or advice would be...

Gentlemen, I come from a row crop background and my family has been farming within 25 miles of my current location since 1635 on my father's side. We have yet to nail the exact year on my mothers side. In short we were involved in modest acreage(850 acres plus or minus) until 1990 when the...

Your thoughts, I have someone who has sold his home near me and is selling his JD 4600 with 350 hours on it along with a 460 loader with bucket and forks, rear blade (not box scraper) and and Erskine 720FM snow blower (driven of the rear PTO) and is asking $15,000. The tractor has been kept in...

Hello, I am considering these 2 tractors, I have a 2004 L4330 and have loved it. However I am looking at getting a cab due to the recent winter. I was pretty much sold on the Kubota from past exp. but my buddy is a JD guy and has been trying to sway my opinion. So I figured for the amount of...

Hello everyone I've found a 2007 John Deere 4720, 4wd, Cab, hydrostatic transmission, R4 tires and 167 hours. It has a 400CX Loader, with bucket, pallet fork and bale spike. Also included is a Woods 6' finish mower (RD7200), Woods 6' box blade, Woods 3-point quick hitch and a set of mounted...

Is this right? (It's NOT a sprayer - listed as 40hp - 99hp Utility tractors). I know you sure can't "Build Your Own" JD 4720 with 2WD on the John Deere website. AKfish

Looking at both units. Like the hydro option on the JD, but that's really the only thing that stands out. i live in northernmaine and have a substantial driveway. Snow blowing it with a MF1135+ 9ft Lucknow blower. Units run nice( for sale, also), just looking to go a little more modern. I figure...

What is everyones feeling on using a JD 4720 Compact tractor with a 400 cx loader and the Steffen 5508 square handler. Some people are telling me the tractor is to light and the loader may not be strong enough. Thanks for your comments

My 2000 JD4600 ran out of fuel the other day , guage said between 3/8 & 1/2 . Put fuel in and started right up. Dealer told me to check for bad sending unit by removing wire from it and grounding it to some shiny metal. I did and the gauge flip-floped to over full and back to empty after I...

I picked up a used Worksaver SG36 pto powered stump grinder this past weekend. The unit requires two sets of hydraulic couplers for operation. I have the 3rd valve (rear) that I used for the side to side control and my plan was to use the loader curl couplers for raising and lowering the...

Hi everybody: What is the difference between the 400CX and 400X? Obviously self leveling. Anything else? Is there a disadvantage to self leveling? Is the self leveling worth the approximately $600 difference in price? Please clarify for me. Regards, FRIZ

Hello, I've done a lot of reading here the last two days and have my baler numbers all confused. I have 9ac in hay that I want to cut and bale once a year. My field is flat. Last year I used a NH 66 with my JD 790. The baler broke a chain on the wad board and the plunger took it out. So I need a...

This is my solution for attaching a metal JD tool box to my 4720. It should be adaptable to most ROPS structures on other brands of tractors. The bracket itself is a simple 1" x 2" square tube with the ends closed in. It is attached to the ROPS using square ended U-bolts. I placed some...

Can anyone help me out. I have a 7foot JD rotary cutter that has a Category 2 hitch but my newly purchase 4720 has a Category 1 hitch. Will the Category 2 i-match hitch work on the 4720. My dealer doesn't seem to know the answer after talking to multiple people in parts and sales. If this...

Can anybody tell me if a grapple on my 4720 with 400x will handle ~1500lb round bales??? I know a spike would be easier and cheaper, but I want the grapple for other jobs too. Some say the claw doesn't open wide enough, others say it'll work. Thanks, appreciate your help. -J.

Hello, I'm in the market to upgrade my JD 3320. I need a larger tractor as well as a cab. To me the JD 4720 is physically a tad too small and doesn't have the lift capacity i'd like. The 5225 is much larger, powerful enough for me but a tad physically large. I don't know much about MF but I...

Hi Guys, Great site. Thanks for all the insight so far. I'm looking at a 2005 JD 4720 that's in great shape. My only concern with it is that it doesn't have some of the features I want - ie. cruise/motionmatch/speedmatch, diverter switch, top & tilt, etc. Can someone tell me if one can have...

The weather finally cooperated so I got the chance to look at both tractors today. Both are nice tractors with their own pros and cons. After looking at the L5740, I had a couple of questions of how it runs. When I was at the John Deere place, they told me that the 4720 had an intake air...

Barring some disaster between now and Monday morning I plan on ordering a JD 4720 E-hydro, Curtis Cab and a 400X loader. My local Minnesota dealers weren't as fond of my New HOlland as a couple of dealers in Wisconsin were. I will have to drive a bit to get it but the price difference is worth...

Can anyone tell me if a Deere 4600 backhoe that is currently mounted on a 4115 Deere will fit on my 2520. I saw one advertised for $4000 and was wondering if this was a good deal or not. The hoe has less than 50 hours on it and looks like new in the pictures. Does anyone know if the sub frame...

I got my bearcat 73554 last week and I finally got to put it to work today. I have to say, after having a Jinma chipper - there is a huge difference in quality. This sucker really works. The grapple bucket is really handy also. I am going to order a spare belt (the shredder does not like...

I'm looking into purchasing a John Deere 4720 with ag tires and a belly mower. Does anyone know if you can get a belly mount mower for the John Deere 4720 or just for the smaller machines?

After beating up my dealer here's the best I can do.....Attack at will :D 4720 CAB with Airseat 31,200.00 Vertical Exhaust 145.00 Rear Fender Extension 156.00 I Match Hitch FREE Rear Worklights...

Ok guys another question for you bush whackers......I am ordering my JD4720 and need to decide which cutter to get. I think I like the MX7 cause i can get closer to fences and trees, but some people say the 6 foot is better cause its the same size as my tractor....Whats your...

Well I've decided to sell my Bobcat S250 with 400 hrs. and get one of the above tractors for more versatile use. I build homes and although I subcontract all the labor there are times I have to use my skid steer to move pallets of sod or stone. With that said I need a tractor that has a lift...

My Dad is semi-retiring from farming. He is selling his large ag equipment and will be putting about 200 acres into a conservation program (hardwood trees) His main uses for the tractor will be mowing/spraying the 200 acres, planting and maintaining a small food plot, misc. loader work. His...

Greetings, does anyone have basic knowledge about a 2002 john deere model 4600? I am looking at one with a 400x loader and roughly 150 hours. It does not have ehydro and the R4 tires look quite worn. Asking price is $17K. Is this in the ballpark? Thanks much.

My dealer priced me a 4720 hydro with R4 tires and a 400x loader for 26000. I think I can get him down about 500$ more. He has a 4520 with ag tires and I can probably get the 400cx loader with it for about the same price. He also priced me a 3120 with a loader - not sure it it was the cx for...

I was ready to buy a Kubota with a cab and then found out John Deere has the 4720 in a cab. The dealer (sells both) recommended the Kubota (less $). My question is the cab. John Deere claims a 30 degree temperature differential and Kubota claims 7-14 degree differential with the cab. Does...

What is a JD 4720. One of my competetors bought one. Looks like a compact AG tractor. The front FEL arms and cylinders look small in comparison to my L39's.

Fixing to get a new 4720 or 5030 with hydostat are there better higher quality fluids then factory and would you recommend changing them out upon purchase, thanks Chase p.s. remember you either make dust or eat dust, so get busy and make some

Owning a 4300HST with a 430 Loader for the past four years, I have now logged over 900hrs on this machine using the loader for approx. two thirds of the time, I soon discovered the superior stability provided by reversing my front wheels on the R-4 tires to the widest position. Presently...

I have a 4720. I had the dealer add the option for motion match which changes the rollout when you let off the pedal on ehydro. My understanding is that this is supposed to let it roooolllll out more slowly or relatively quickly depending on the setting of the switch on the right fender. I...

Would the John Deere 4720 be a hydro only because this tractor offers so much torque a geared transmission would not be able to hold up as well as a hydro(that is the impression my dealer gave me ? My dealer told me he sold 2 JD dozers to a guy who has a oil/gas pipeline business and the guy...

any recomendations on the purchase of a JD4720 or a CASE IH dx55? Seems the IH is a bit less expensive but the JD has a hydro trans vs the IH 12/12 with reverser. thanks BOB

I wonder why this is ? Does this mean JD thinks a gear tranny would not hold up to the torque of the new JD 4720 ? I wonder what John Deeres reasoning is ?

Iam down to final decision on bids. There is only eleven dollars difference. Both have loader with six foot heavy duty bucket, hydro, one rear remote,turf tires,9'woods backhoe on the tc40, 8'6" on the Deere. Has there been any problems yet with the tc40? What about the tires I chose for...
