I feel like ordering some of the big ones and trying to get a mount and put those on.. I have no weights on my 4700

Bought one new 10 years ago. Power reverser, 460 loader and JD hoe. Just keep fluids changed and run it. Excellent piece of equipment. Enjoy!

I have a 4700 as well. (Hydro) Has performed very well for the short time I have owned it. I purchased used 2 years ago. (2000 model year) However, it only had 95 hours on it. Had all fluids/filters changed, then put it to work hauling logs. After receiving the bill for the fluid/filter service, I now change them myself. By the way, this is one strong machine. I am new to tractors, and feel I could'nt have made a better choice in choosing this tractor.

I've got a 4720 (second tractor) and learned quickly to do my own maintenance - the dealer takes too long, does not do that great of a job, your tractors sits outside, the dealer charges as much to services as my BMW does! Besides all that...it's fun to do it yourself.

I have a 03 4710 with a 460 loader, 448 backhoe, graple, forks, snow push, wallenstien bx 62 hyd. chipper. bought it with 31 hrs on it in 06(along with service and parts manuals), loaded the ag. tires with citruis(110 gallons worth), bolted a set of 175 lb. each john deere wheel weights on it.....this tractor was probably the best money I have ever spent. two problems in the 708 hrs I have put on it, one big and one small. this past summer the 3pt. hitch suddenly wouldnt lift all the way so i immediatly took it into the shop and studied the parts and service manuals...disassembled it to find two screws had worked there way out and only by a miricle missed the ring and pinion gears, the second was the startup relay would intermitently make it not start, these tractors always start with a tap
