4707

[daugen]

Tractor came in today. The 2019 visio roof has a 1/4" steel grate over the visio roof. The 2018 I drove did not have a visio roof but I did not realize the visio roof came with this grill gard style protection over the window.

Is this new or do other models have this on the visio roof as well? I know it did not come on the Case 75C visio roof.

pretty sure all visio roofs have it, mine does
if they had hinged it in the rear, would make cleaning glass easier

Got our tractor yesterday!

congrats Tryin!
sure looks familiar, mine is in my driveway after just being unloaded by the dealer, who had it for first service.
Nice to get it back home but not as nice as you getting it home for the first time.

That buddy seat is none too comfy for a big adult but just great for grandchildren.
Get into a habit of always buckling up with your new tractor.
I'm awfully careful but never know if a ditch eats me and down I go,
crashing down on the right side of my cab. Inclinometer installed on windshield to help remind me when to back off.
My land is pool table flat except for the ditches and those sides get steep mighty quick...

My tractor is a 2019 built in China. It would be fun to sit a Chinese one and a Brazilian one side by side and see if
the fit and finish are the same. Mine has some rough spots on the loader, gouge marks which someone painted over.
Otherwise build quality appears excellent. Always thought that dull grey paint on the wheels looked thin, just not a very exciting color, but
if they added too much gloss, they'd make it look like a Case IH and that would never do.
Pretty sure the tractor has three greys, one lighter for the wheels and two darker for the chassis.

Tryin, don't forget to start the tractor with the right hand gear selector in neutral, not just the Powershift lever.
Mine acted wonky until I was corrected and the tractor now doesn't jerk around after starting.

Get that seat adjusted just right, the tires as low as you can go, some dealers put way too much air in the tires,
3 lugs on the ground, and you'll have a very comfortable ride. Enjoy and best of luck with that.

Nice Tryin. I do not know if this apples to the 2019s but some on here did not like the turning radius and adjusted the stops on the front axle. I had mine done before I picked it up and it turns tight when mowing and the angles get funky as the pattern tightens. :thumbsup: Enjoy it!

Thanks for all the advice guys, so far haven't really done anything with the tractor but did take it up and down one of the steepest hills on our property and seemed to do really good. We had it set out all the way in the rear and front and it really feels stable on the hills. Steering seems fine so far. I can't believe how smooth and quiet the engine is inside the cab, feels very refined. Haven't really found anything I don't like yet, they sure put a nice coat of paint on!

Some of my paperwork shows my 4707 as a 2019 & 2018 but it was definitely made in 2018 & it has the steel grate over it. I do wish It could be moved easily to clean the glass, but it’s not a huge deal.

Interesting to read about the manufacturing moving to Brazil. I guess they only do that for the American market if they had made a new factory for the global market.

What would stop Agco from just sending parts to Brazil from China so it’s ‘made’ in Brazil.. lots of companies are doing this supposedly, or shipping to other places before heading to USA.

I'm sure this is the case, the tractor is made of parts from all around the world and shipped to the factory to be assembled.

Been getting some good use out of the tractor, mainly hauling logs off the hill down to the sawmill. I really don't have anything that I can find that I don't like on it so far. It took me a while to get used to the three point hitch control, guess you have to move the lever to 10 then to 1 to activate it. I also learned that the faster you move the slider the faster the hitch moves. Tractor feels very stable and plenty of power. Love the smooth ride and the air seat. So far so good!

Me too!! And the dealer told me about it three times and said that everyone calls and says the three point is not working right. Also the draft knob needs to be turned all the way down when mowing for me or l will hit the ground randomly.

Looks good!

Does anyone use the factory block heater? It is suppose to get in the 20s tonight and I was debating on plugging it in. Do you plug it in all the time or just before you use it? Also, has anyone had any problems using an extension cord? The factory cord is way too short for my shop outlets.
