4520 ? or 4510? WHICH ONES BETTER?

[rollbar]

THE THINGS I LIKED ABOUT THE 4510 STARTS GOOD, QUIET RUNNING ,EASY TO MANEUVER AND OPERATE. GOOD MACHINE. I BOUGHT THE 4520 BEACAUSE OF THE INCREASE IN HORSEPOWER AND LOOKS. I LIKE THE 400X LOADER .ONE THING I DON'T EXACTLY LIKE ABOUT THE 4520 IS THE SMOKE AND REV UP OF THE ENGINE WHEN COLD BUT AFTER WARM UP SOUNDS GOOD AND RUNS GOOD . THE 4710 WOULD HAVE BEEN MY SECOND CHOICE. THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THESE TWO TRACTORS SAID THE YANMAR ENGINE IS HARD TO BEAT. I HOPE THIS 4520 PROVES TO BE A GOOD MACHINE AS THE 4000-TEN
I TALKED TO A ROW CROP FARMER THE OTHER DAY AND HE SAID THE JD TRACTORS WERE THE BEST MACHINES ON THE MARKET. BUT I GUESS HE IS BIASED SINCE JD IS ALL HE HAS. I DO GET ALOT OF POSITIVE COMMENTS ABOUT THE TRACTOR. MY WIFE SAYS I'M OBBESSED WITH IT,BUT I JUST ENJOY BEING ABLE TO HAVE A NICE MACHINE AND WANT TO TAKE CARE OF IT. IT'S THE KID IN ME I GUESS. GROWING UP ALL DAD HAD WAS AN OLD JOHN DEERE B AND A 45 ALLIS-CHALMER .BUT WE HAD WHAT WE COULD AFFORD

I shyed away from the 4000-20s for similar reasons. That and it's just a bit large for me. I have the pleasure of operating a 4710 this weekend and look forward to it. Had I justified the larger chassis, this would have been my first choice. That and a turbo...

If you live above 5,000 ft, you're far better off with the turbo-charged 20 series. My ranch is at 6,500 ft and my present 4520 eHydro seems to have twice the torque as my former 4410. At ~1500 RPM, it's almost impossible to stall.
