Wondering if anyone knows of the 4r release date? Have a pair of 4120s that need updated...

I was told by a salesmen that it would be a while, because Deere still had a large inventory of the 4000 series.
Why not update now? I was told that the only changes for the 4r was that Deere was going from their own engine back to a Yanmar for tier4. Also the number is changing.

Have you heard anymore? I bought my 4120 now before the changes. Curious to see what they actually come out with to confirm I made the right decision.

There are a few more changes than that. You can control the three point and inch the tractor forward and backward from the rear fender, there is a 500lb down force option for the three point, the loader quick connects is are "single point" hydraulic block, and the backhoe can be installed without removing the 3 point arms, and the air ride seat swivels to the left and right. The road speed is a few miles per hour faster also.
Theres some good changes there...but I sure hate to see the JD powertech go.

I was originally thinking of trying to snag one of the last 3X20 machines, but I like the new 3R machines so much I am going to wait a few years and pick one up.

I do not know where you are in Kentucky, but there are a couple of the new 4000 series tractors on display until Saturday, at the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville

Saw them at the farm show. Some neat changes, but the engine looks crazy complicated wnd a much cheaper body style. My dealership was told summer release.
