New 4020 info

Robert_in_NY · May 2, 2004

Suppose to debut in late May. I don't follow JD compacts much but does that loader look similar to a blue loader?

JayC · May 2, 2004

I wish I could see the rest of the machine! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif You can definately tell that the loader has a curve to it, but I don't think it is as curved as the CNH loaders. It looks like the upper half of the loader arms are curved while the lower half look like the same type of loader arms. I see it is the 4720. Do they plan on a 4x20 for the other models?

I would imagine all the models will go to 4020's, this was a picture that was on the cards sent to dealers. It was posted on the Toy Talk site by a fellow collector who works at a JD dealership and keeps all us nuts informed about the latest info from JD. Also, the JD 5020's are going to be 5025's by the end of the year. Toy Talk

Looks good! Also looks like a one piece hood and wraparound lights like the older Boomers. There is a lot of talk of reduced number of models, the 4720 may be the ONLY large chassis (no 4520 or 4620)

The first thing I noticed about the new 4720 is that is looked like the 100 series lawn tractors.

It apparently is the new look. Kioti has that curve on some of it's FEL models as well as NH. Any word on Bota going curved?

It looks like they have made a big improvement in grease fitting placement on the loader. The grease fittings apear to be in the ends of the piviot pins.

Its green and I like it. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif At first I thought it might be a self-levelling bucket, but can't see enough to make that conclusion from the picture. That would be awesome if they could pull it off without adding a lot of weight on the loader arms.

That likely is going on my list to go after in the near future. Was going to the Deere 4310, but will probably wait for the mid-size chassis in the 4x20 series, (4320?). The quick-tach bucket looks the same and should take the quick-tach forks that I have. At times I wish I had the e-hydro. Am very happy with the Deere 4300, and think it is a good size - small, compact, but enough power to move things around like I want.

Maybe I will wait also . Who knows if this is really coming out?

Robert_in_NY · May 3, 2004

It is coming out. The picture is of the real machine JD photographed and sent out to their dealers. The picture was on a post card that was sent to the dealers about the new tractors. We should learn more in a few weeks as they are going to show them at the end of this month.

I see a trend there. I have been learning about LG Diesels for a close in mower and noticed how similiar the 455 is to the 4x10s

JayC · May 4, 2004

That does look similar. And from reading another thread where JD uses the same model numbers for other machines, I wonder what JD is doing. Reusing model numbers and using similar designs, hmm...

Regarding the model number, the most recent instance I can think of is, while doing a search for the JD 4710 CUT, I got lots of results for the JD 4710 sprayer. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

What's changing on the 5x25 series???

Eyehelp · May 10, 2004

As I have been leaning towards the 4710 I talked with my dealer today to see what he knew about the 4720. He said not much yet but that he is headed to Atlanta this week for a chance to see the machines and get in line for a few. He did hear that the HP would be up to 58 with the deere engine. So...I am definitely waiting to find out more. I like the increased HP. He is to email me with an update and I will pass it along.

I really like the new design! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif As nice as they look, does anyone know any of the stats yet on the new machines? Unless I missed the post, so far all I have seen are a couple pictures. I sure would like to know what the new green is packing underneath! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

They look pretty good and very similar hood design to a 7920 ag tractor. Same style front and everything. I noticed the lights on the ROPS is like the 4010 series as are the rear fenders. In my opinion I like the looks of the current series a little more. Now my 990 really looks outdated! Time to trade in for a little bigger machine like a 4720! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
