2007 JD 7720, 2007 JD 5225, (2) 2008 JD 4120's, JD 4255, JD 5' Z-trak coming (model # unknown)
4052R finally showed up after a March order date with 5 delays since april. Seems to be setup very nice, other than the rear hyd. they forgot and is coming in soon. Was worried about power but seems to run out nice! Rear visibility isn't that good with the rear fuel tank vs. the 4120 we traded off but sure I'll get used to it. Hood is a good bit longer, wheelbase looks to be a little longer, rear end and 3pt is wayyy heavier than before.

Congratulations. Nice looking machine. Are the fender mounted work lights standard, or did you have them added on?

it takes time to get used to running a new tractor.

Good looking tractor. Have any pictures of the upgraded rear end and three point?

Looks nice.Are the hoods and fenders still plastic?I thought i read some where one of the new series would have a metal hood.

The lights on the fenders are now standard, also have a pair of lights that were extra on top of the hazard lights and one pointing backwards.

Fenders and side panels are plastic, i think hood is but didn't look too close. Not crazy about how now you have to unbolt the side panels, only the hood opens. 4120 was easier to work on. Interesting deal they have where sometimes exhaust comes out of a little vent on the top of hood and most of it comes out through the lower exhaust.

I didn't snap a pic of the 3pt and rear end but will have to get one, side by side vs. 4x20 it's night and day difference. Not sure what drove this, never had any problems with anything on the 4x20 rear end or 3pt i know of?

What will you be using this tractor for? I notice you have R4s and no loader. Will it mostly be bush-hogging?

Just curious. Looks like a nice machine!

Is there an electric diverter or something in the exhaust that changes the exhaust flow? On the three point difference, is the lift capacity higher that might explain the extra heft?

3pts have the same lift capacity at 2500lbs, 24" back. My guess would be that either they have had problems that we don't know about or they plan on increasing the capacity in the near future. :confused3:

I think that's to do with the emissions requirements, isn't it? If I remember right, the filter gets burned clean every so often, which is probably when it's coming out through the upper vent.
