Anyone running a late model JD 4720?

[Rockgod]

Thanks for the feedback everyone. To follow up on some of your questions I will be doing a little square bailing for winter goat feed, maintaining an apple orchard, brush hogging, some grounding prepping for fruits/veggies, post hole digging, and maintaining about 2k feet of gravel drives. I have always been a power junking plus a power to weight ratio person. Getting into a new tractor of this value and size is a big leap for me so I want to do it right. I must say the welcome has been warn. :thumbsup: Thanks again.

I mow around 60 acres along with quite a bit of loader/grapple work very easily with a cabbed 4320.

Here are the list prices on open station units. I won't try and talk you out of the 4720 but for 15 acres I'd look hard at the others.




4720-$34,755.00

4520-$30,906.00

4320-$28,987.00

4120-$26,748.00

BTW, when I first started looking, I was going to go for a 4320 cab. I don't think the cab is available on a 4120. The idea was, I would save almost enough in base tractor price to pay for the cab. As it turns out, I found a 2007 4720 cab with 760 hrs for less than the open station 4320 listed for. And it had a bunch of goodies on it that I wanted.

So is it ok to ask if a price from a unnamed dealer is a good price quote?

And I thought 0% for 48 months was nice. ..

Did you build the tractor and add ons using the configurator to get the msrp price? I know the configurator was done for awhile. I recommend you do that if you haven't and then deduct 18% from the msrp price and add the sales tax back if applicable.

Also remember the 2007 4720 is the same hp as a new 4520, 60hp.

Yes, I did try the builder on JD website but the 485 backhoe option is not listed. So I figured I would ask the forum if the percentages looked correct. This dealer I recieved this quote from has never seen me in the past so I think he is being pretty fair as this is the first quote he hit me with.

I have 40 ac most of what i do is mowing and brush mowing with a little loader work from time to time. i went from a 3720 to a 4720 because the 4720 is much more stable on hills and can push and pull a larger deck without too much effort. i'd think 15 ac is a bit small for a 4720 unless you're doing hay or something - both are great and the Yanmar engine in the 3720 is a bit more advanced then the JD -for example the Yanmar had self bleeding fuel pump and to me, it started with a bit less cranking fuss...never had any problems with either.

If you go to DEERE-index, select commercial, utility tractors, attachments, you will find the 485 backhoe. For whatever reason, the backhoes are not shown on the related products page for the tractor.
