4720 thoughts for the newbie

[4720 OWNER]

Thanks sunnyside and 4720,

How much tire is sticking out relative to your rear fenders?

4720, I assume you have the 72 inch bucket? So your outside width is roughly 73?

Addendum,
Just reviewed the online manual for the 4720, The R1 and R4's both come with 8 position rears. They can be set from as narrow as 51 inches to as wide as 75 inches! Two feet to play with, Nice. The fronts have two postions-53 inches or 57 inches.

Checked the front tires and the valve stems are on the inside, so the widest they can be.

Little wider than the fenders but not much of an issue unless going to the neighbors to plow and the road is sloppy, and even then not much is being slung around. About 1" wider than the FEL, and for what i do does not seem to be an issue. Just have to be careful putting air in the tires so that can reach the valve stems, they have to be in the rear.

At first thought the bucket was too small but after using it for a bit, perfect for the size of the tractor with only the blade on the back for weight.
