4707

[Wobblin-Goblin]

Been four years with my 4707 now and still love it. It's just a fantastic tractor. The upgraded loader (with self-leveling) was well worth the money and it's easily the most comfortable tractor I've ever operated.

In four years, they've gone up $11k, though.

Just over 3 years of owning mine and it's still doing great. I love how I can get home from work and it's too hot to do anything outside except get in the cab, turn on the AC, and catch up on my mowing!!!

in Texas maybe you had to but in NC I never had to get above the second fan speed.
Helped that tractor was parked in barn and thus no prior heat bake on it

other than the jerky three point control, which I feel better knowing I'm not the only one who had issues with it, my only wish on this tractor was that they hinged the iron grate over the moon roof. Hinge it back for cleaning and clip it in vs a spot for stuff to collect and hard to get a cleaning mop underneath.

Initially had concerns over it being a three cylinder. Also owned a 3 cyl 50hp Massey, totally different tractors and I'm now a believer in less than four cylinders. I think the sound is just a little harsher. Vs my 27hp Massey with a Mitsubishi four that ran amazingly quiet and smooth, one of my favorite motors. One 3 cyl came from India, this one came from Massey's new factory in China. Massey has always been very international in its approach, wonder how pricing is affected by the current tariffs.
Their other factor is in Brazil.

They have their big tractor factory in Jackson Minnesota, perhaps it could add more lines.

Now to see how they hold up at 5000 hours.
I remember seeing a surprising number of big Masseys in the shop for new clutch packs, some with Sisu engines, who Massey finally bought.

I haven't had any issues with the 3 point being jerky. I really like having the fender controls on both fenders. That's really made hooking things up a lot easier!!!

The clutch is another story. It's very jerky. I've read up on how to calibrate it, but I just use forward reverse lever on the left of the steering wheel, and the button on the gear shift to bypass the clutch. The only time I use the clutch is when I start it, or a panic stop. And for some reason, I push on both the clutch and the brakes at the same time when I feel that I absolutely have to stop right that second.

Since the 4707 uses the same engine as the 100 hp 4710, I don't have any concerns with it being 3 cylinders. It's so far derated of what it's capable of that I have no worries about it at all. 70hp is plenty for what I use it for.

Man I just logged on to ask the same question. The fuel Guage was at about 3/4 and it pegs empty and slowly comes back up while in neutral and pegs spuradically when driving. I got the same code sometimes and an audible alarm. Sometimes I only get the pegged needle with the red empty light and no audible alarm or fault code. Mine is a 2022 4707 with about 5 hours on it.

Good-afternoon, I’m having the same problem with my tractor right now. Can’t seem to find the issue. Where you ever able to find the problem?

 

[17Espinozao]

Anyone happen to know what the following fault code is:

d 3
516427

Guessing it has something to do with the fuel gauge which is reading zero when it’s half full.

Hello, currently having the same problem were you able to diagnose it? Been a little over a week now and I can’t find what’s wrong.

Massey didn't buy Sisu, AGCO bought Sisu and put them in Masseys, that they (AGCO) also own.

Four years and a little over 200 hours later, my '21 4707 still has a jerky clutch, but I mitigate it by not using it very much and only when necessary. As a previous poster said, just use the reverser and the button on the shifter.

As far as the 3pt issue, my tractor initially had it pretty bad. The dealer sent a tech out a couple times and could not fix it, so they eventually loaded it up and took back to their shop for a week or so and when I got it back, it worked quite a bit better. Not perfect, but almost.

The hood still won't stay up when lifted, but I guess it's going to be that way as long as I own the tractor.

Having said all that, this is the best tractor I've ever owned or operated and I look forward to every time I hop in it.

thank you Rob I stand corrected
it was misquoted in what I read

My theory on the jerky clutch. The clutch pedal is just a sensor, just like the forward and reverse shifter(if you pull up on it you can slowly release it like the pedal). The clutch is completely controlled electronically by solenoids. The reverse lever and the clutch pedal just sends a signal to it. Problem is the solenoids only work at their speed. So when you push clutch in to do something like hooking up a bucket or pallet..or whatever, when you go to re-engage it you believe the clutch pedal level is where the clutch is, but every time you push in the pedal the solenoids completely disengage the clutch but as you re-engage slowly the solenoids are catching up to you but you feel you need to let more clutch out, by the time it catches up to you its catching to quick. Clutch by wire is stupid.
