John Deere 2005 4120
Thanks to all of your inputs from previous threads I decided today to buy a used 2005 4120 with a 400CX FEL. Only 200 hours on it been stored in a building for the last 3 years.

It will arrive Friday!!!

I ended up selling my fully restored '59 Ford 601 Workmaster with Wagner FEL to a New Holland Dealer locally.

Congratulations! You won't be disappointed. The 4x20 series are absolutely awesome tractors. Let's see some pictures.

Congratulations.
That's exactly the tractor that I'm lusting over currently. Hopefully I'll buy one in the next year or two.
Tell us more about it. What kind of projects do you have in store for it?
Sorry if this is rude, but would you mind telling how much you paid for it?
You get it from a dealer or private seller?
Have fun and be safe!

I bought it from a dealer price was $19,500.

I also sold my 59 601 Workmaster for $4500 to a local NH dealer kind of emotional was my dad's tractor since new but the need for 4 wheel drive plus more importantly live PTO were needs that I felt were worth the change.

Good purchase. Have fun. Couple of suggestions: If it didn't come with manuals, get a set from Deere. Get a good quality grease gun, the cx has a lot of lube points. For full lift capability Deere reccomends loaded tire, wheel weights and ballast box. My experience says they are pretty close. I lifted a 2700+ lb concrete culvert, with loaded tires and 448 hoe, I was still too light on the rear end.

Stay safe
