I know there are a few guys on here that in recent times have purchased the NH or Case variant of the T4.75. Are you happy with your purchase, any major issues? After many months and multiple test drives of each I narrowed it down to 4 tractors, 2 red, 2 blue. And when the dust settled, and all things were taken into account, I think I finally have found a winner. I might have even put a little money down, but I would just like to hear a few reports good or bad before the big check gets written.

So let me hear it, good or bad would be greatly appreciated....

I had a friend purchase a T4.75 a couple years ago;he had lots of little problems and traded it quickly for a larger CASE.I know;same company.Made in Turkey if I remember right.
He got caught up in the old scenario;"we always had big blue on the farm",not the same thing anymore for a lot of manufacturers.

I have read some not so good reviews, most of them seemed to be from tractors that were fairly early on in production, I am hoping that since it is 6 years into production some of the kinks have been ironed out. Obviously a concern however, so thank you for the input...

Due to medical issues I had to upgrade my tractor from a CaseIH DX60 to a T4.75,

We got ours in the spring time, it was a hold over 2017 model with the loader and the hydraulic connectors
up front. We have just about 100 hrs on her now, we did our own service and the only issue there is to
plan on changing your fuel filters to get to the oil filter.

We did have a small hydraulic leak on the front power steering connection, the dealer sent a guy out and
he changed the o-ring seal and it's been good since.

This tractor is so comfortable and enjoyable to drive, mowing I've caught myself falling asleep, if you look
at our early posts we added a rear view camera system with two camera's that I still find I have to turn
to back up at times. We did upgrade our speakers while we had the back of the headliner down and I added
a Bluetooth connector to my radio that allows me to play my music from my phone and take phone calls
when needed.

My wife really likes the jump seat, the heat and AC work great on this, I can't wear a jacket after she is warmed
up clearing snow, the tractor is a great match up to our 7' snowblower, this tractor does not bog down like
our 60 did. The rest of my work is mowing with a 7' finish mower. I do like taking off and putting on the loader
it's very easy with this setup, I run all summer with it off.

Our Tractor came with the front fenders and with the tight turns I make mowing we took them off, they were rubbing
the frame, I like the forward visibility without them also.

I really like the setup for cleaning the radiators being able to pull them out.

We did have R4 tires put on our tractor, the local company had to make the rims and that took a while, I put a rope
around the instructor seat and I can get in and out of this tractor easier than I can with my two pickup trucks.

Hope this helps.

Take a hard look at the Massey Ferguson 4707. I looked at the 4.75, the Case 75c, and the Massey Ferguson 4707 is a far superior machine. I love mine. 20181203_161419.jpeg

I bought a 2017 T4.75 just a week ago, it was new. I have a 84 inch snowblower on the 3 pt and have used it twice so far. It does have a FEL also. It sure is plush having a cab with heat and air. So far no problems and I love it.

Isn't that another one of those china made tractors??

Well, it's not made by muslims in Turkey. On the Massey, it's a Global Tractor: engine made in Finland, Norwegian tires, Italian Transmission, and assembled in China. Its then shipped to US and loader is built in Tennessee.

It sure does help, I appreciate the honest and insightful review.

I guess that's one way to look at it... lol

I was thinking about a Massey for my next tractor, but I just can't get past the china part!! Also It looks like the quality control could be better too, and the china part shines through in that respect...
