hello all wanted to start here first on pricing a jd 4320 vs 4520 cab both with 400cx loader what seems to be average prices on each ? wanting to buy this spring before tier iv starts. I currently have a 4300 with 430 loader and need more fel lift.

Are you looking at an eHydro or geared machine? I have a couple reasons that I would go for the 4520...regardless of price (within reason).
1) The 4520 and 4720 have a different fuel injection system. Take a look at JD parts and you will see the difference. The 4520 and 4720 have a much lower component count.
2) Due to the different fuel injection system, the 4520 and 4720 have a feature called eThrottle. When enabled, it speeds the engine up as you press down on the hydro pedals. I find it very handy for loader work and pulling.
3) More power.

ehydro trans. I have hydro on my current 4300 and like it very well over geared trans for loader work.

I went for the 4520 for the power increase with pto work. According to Nebraska test the 4520 puts out about 55 hp at the pto for what thats worth. The other features Arlen mentioned are also worthwhile plus the Epto feature is available on the 4520 and 4720 too.
