Bit the bullet on a 4720

[Tritonman]

Well I bit the bullet on a new 4720 today. Pretty jacked up to get it home and load up the accessories. Do any of you guys mount a tool box onto the tractor or loader? I have thirty acres of test plots that I do alot of work in including planting, spraying, etc and am pretty excited to give it a whirl.

If anyone is interested I have a set of R1 ag tires for sale including rims off of a 3320!

The tires are in North Dakota and are in nearly pefect shape. 900 dollars plus shipping. Which is probably around 300 to the east coast or gulf coast

Anything I am missing, that you guys would add. I ordered a 4720 with the cx loader, R1 tires, Third hydraulic, adjustable draft links, topntilt (fourth and fifth hydraulics) deluxe hood guard, horn, radio, skid steer quick attach, heavy duty bucket, economy pto automotive cruise control, rear window wiper.

Do any of you guys have the front fenders or the rear fender extensions. I run a sprayer and am kicking around the front fenders for that reason.

Congratulations on your new tractor sounds like it is well equipped too.

How about six rear wheel weights, I put these on my 4520 and really helps with traction.
I also added the rear work lights.

I don't know if its standard with the cab, but a lot of guys rave about the deluxe air suspension seat.

Fenders are nice when going from mud to hard surfaces where they really fling it off. Rear extentions would depend on how far you set the rear wheels out if needed or not.

JD has a metal tool box that mounts on the front grill gaurd for the 4000 series. It is not huge but can hold the essentials. The FEL will just miss it as it raises and lower. Simple to mount with 2 bolts. Price was not too bad if I remember correctly. It is probably the best place to mount a toolbox on these CUTS. The 3000 series uses a cheap plastic tool box mounted by the loader brackets.

Sounds nice-but just a thought- the CX has LESS lift capacity than the X. You do have better rollback angle and self leveling is nice- just think about what's most important to you.

The X is lower capacity than the CX and the X has the better rollback. If self-leveling and higher capacity is you need, go CX. If better rollback is your deal go X. I went X as I did not need high capacity or self leveling but I needed the rollback. :thumbsup:

Awesome!! Sounds like you've done your homework and got things pretty well laid out. :thumbsup: I went with rear fender extensions and the front fenders on my 5075M. That was the plan if I bought a 45-4720, too.

Why buy a cab and whenever it's muddy (alot up here) and have the tires throw water and mud balls up on the windows? I wanted the wheels set out as far as I can get 'em. Just know that I'd have lot's of time invested (and paper towels and windex) cleaning off the side windows and front doors....

I bought wheel weights, too. Although, if I lived in the States with RimGuard available - that's probably what I would have gone with.

Has the dealer indicated when the tractor will be available?

I did get the air suspension seat as mentioned earlier also. For weight I am putting fluid in the rear tires and one wheel weight on each side.

Do any of you guys have the four in one bucket, how do you like it.

I like fluid in the tires...for some reason, it always stays in the bottom half of the tire for lower cog!:laughing::laughing::laughing:

 

[Tritonman]

A good suggestion also and did have the dealer planning to do that. Dealer just said my tractor is shipping May 6th. Does anyone know how long it takes to get from Georgia to North Dakota?

 

[AKfish]

What does MapQuest tell you? Truckers can only hit the pavement for X hours per day and can average X miles per hour...

Wouldn't think it would take more than 5 days @ 8hrs on and 8hrs off and 8hrs on; etc.

If they could average 50 miles per hours - that's 400 miles in an 8 hour shift and 800 miles in a 24 hour period.

Is it 1,600 - 1,800 miles? Should likely be there on day 4 - but give 'em an extra day for eatin' donuts and peanuts and lot's of coffee breaks! :thumbsup:

I just picked up a 60" 4in1 for my 3320. I wish I had ordered from day 1. I'd look at a 72" unit for your new toy.
