Good morning!!!!

Drew, we are waiting almost patiently for your tractor decision.

How nice...and you won't have to wait longer. :dance1:
Got a nice package deal on a MF 4707 with 6 foot reverse rotation rototiller and a 6 foot bush hog.
Two conveniences sold me, I could get the glass roof and buddy seat at a price I could afford, and couldn't do that
in the JD. Otherwise the tractors were 7 hundred bucks apart. I decided on the larger one since I bought too small last time.
It will be my Christmas present. Coming in by truck from another dealer, probably get it next week.

Nice. I like my reverse tine tiller. Except when I run into one of the 8" rocks that grow in the fields here.

Congrats, Drew. I hope it's everything you wanted! WooHoo!

Any chance you could post a copy of the window sticker (if there is such a thing for tractors)? Doesn't matter if the price column is missing, I'm just curious about the options you ordered vs. what it comes with.

That's a good-looking tractor, Drew. Congrats.

Personally, I prefer stainless steel guns.

Same here, Roy. 5.5" stainless would be my choice.

there's no such thing RNG. My only big decision was self leveling loader, which would be super for using my elevated man lift for tree trimming, or a regular FEL which has significantly more capacity. I went for capacity for best utilization of a much heavier tractor than I have now.

this guy's voice is really tiresome, but it shows the new glass roof, which is a must have for me since I can't bend my neck to see the guy in the man lift now without serious pain later. Twice now I've had to stop early because I was in too much pain from bending my neck. With this glass roof, very little neck bending. It's funny, they call this Visio roof, and here my 1955 Farmall Super A's mid mount cultivator is called Cultivision.
All about seeing what you are doing without being a contortionist.

otherwise, electronic power shuttle with push button clutch on gearshift lever, forward hydraulics set up for a WR Long grapple I have, and R1 Trelleborg radial tires. Basically their deluxe cab option, plus a radio/cd. 2 rear SCV's, I don't need three at this point. Fender mounted three point raise/lower switches. Extendable forks. Basically all of the nice Kubota hitch setup just another level more heavy duty than what I have now.
And a trainer seat. Extra lights, not sure about filling tires, heavy enough already. Air suspension seat. 70hp Agco Sisu engine, 3.3 litre 3 cylinder,
fully made in new high tech Agco factory in China. Probably good I did this now before some tariffs get slapped on it...

Basically Agco/Massey brings some very nice bigger tractor features down to the lower priced models, whereas Deere makes you spring
for a upper model tractor to get certain features, just like happens with trucks and cars.

I did not look at New Holland at all nor Kubota, both for dealership issues locally.
One I didn't know at all and one I didn't want to know any more.
No other models with local dealers, Kioti tried and bombed.

Yea Drew.:cool2: Are you keeping the Kubota or trading it in?

Honey, honey, I have to get my new tractor before the probe gets here. I think it's coming for me...

both the Kubota and the larger Massey are getting traded in.
Unfortunately this state does not give credit for trades on farm machinery which seemed pretty strange to me since they and I think most everyone do it for cars and trucks.
Yes, will need new avatar at some point.

Drew, that’s a sweet machine! I’d love to give it a spin sometime. Both the tractor and the price are way too big for me, but I’m happy for you!
