No more 4510-4710\'s ?

On the the Deere site you can no longer use the build your own option for 4510, 4610, or 4710 - or at least I could not. Are they pretty done manufacturing these and moving folks up to the 4X20 series ?

YUP! kinda sad day....

Re: No more 4510-4710\'s ?

From what I was told - large frame 4000-Tens can no longer be ordered by the dealers. Any being sold are on the lots now - or being shuffled between dealers.

( If anyone spots a new 4710 reverser let me know! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif )

Unfortunately the build-and-price function on the Deere site keeps changing on the Twenty series. Last I checked the 'field installed options' had disappeared again. Makes it tough to figure out what's available!

You should have ordered earlier when you had the chance! I too like the 4010s more than the new large frames and I don't think that's going to change once I see the new ones either. We had a 4710 e hydro with turfs a month or 2 ago and it was nice. One of the last to be ordered in.

Exactly what do you not like about the new 20 series?

If what I'm reading is right, the hood (full hood with side panels) opens up from the front to the back?

This would make changing oil and fuel filter a snap, with FEL on
You could clean the radiator and service the battery without lowering the grille guard and removing that dadblasted grille.

come'on Billy it's Yellowsocks fer crying out loud. He likes the 10s just as soon as they are no longer available...

Just funnin with you, yellow, although you never cease to amaze me...

Since I don't even live full-time at the farm yet - I wasn't planning to buy anything until this fall. Situations change, though, and we decided to get something now to handle some immediate chores. Exactly two days before the Twenty series announcment hit and two years after I started looking into CUTs. (and the 4710 Reversers were apparently already long gone. Hydros are still to be had.) Sigh. Still have my fingers crossed.

Out of 11 listed on Machinefinder, there are two reversers:

Unfortunately, both are "used" (although not very).

Re: No more 4510-4710\'s ?

When i bought my 4710, late May time frame, it was the last 10 series they had, and could not order any more at the time. I was also told the 4x20 series wouldnt be out till late August. Guess the dealer was 50 percent correct, although he doesnt have any new 4x20's yet, but the dealer up the road has a lot full of them. Makes you wonder what a 4710 is worth now, probably not very much..... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Re: No more 4510-4710\'s ?

Well I kind of like having side panels and a hood since everything can be taken out of the way for service work. With one piece hoods on the large JD's they are heavy takes 4 of us to lift it on the tractor, and then not as much of the engine is exposed. I don't think the new ones look that bad as others think but I do wish that the fuel tank was in the back. Had one of my city friends down and showed him the new JDs we have like the 7920 and then the 4310 and he did not really like the plastic on the new Deere's. Showed him the ol' 970 and 990 and he thought the metal was much nicer! True story happened yesterday.

Rockyridge:

I don't get how I amaze you? I know I don't like every JD product out there but I try to like them as much as possible. I like my cars fast and my tractors metal! LOL. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Um depends on what you're looking for - based on only the sketchy info available so far I'd rather have the 4710 over the equivalent Twenty series. Course then I'm flakey enough that I think I'd prefer an original 4700 over the 4710 (assuming brand new). Kinda ironic for someone who started out as a EE major that I prefer non-electronic tractors! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Re: No more 4510-4710\'s ?

If a 4600 with 2000 hours is still worth $15,500 then I would say your 4710 is worth quite a bit. Tractors aren't like cars where a new model makes the older models worth less. In tractors they still hold just as good of value.

Re: No more 4510-4710\'s ?

I would take my old 4300 or any 2001 4000 series any day over a new 4310 or so on. I like the tilt steer better on mine, the seat and the nice looking green kick plate they replaced with a ugly black cheap one.

Re: No more 4510-4710\'s ?

I was just having fun the other day and called a dealer and asked if they had the new 4x20's in. He said yes, so I asked him what my 4710, ehydro, R4's 460 FEL, and only 30 hours would be worth on trade. He told me expect around the high 15's..... /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif I thought that was pretty low, you guys? This dealer seemed pretty proud of the 4x20's and didnt sound like he wanted an "old" 4710 sitting around....yikes.

Re: No more 4510-4710\'s ?

I only got 13,300 for my 01 4300 in mint condition 122 hrs, 60" 7 iron mid mount. I thought I could get more but my boss said the compacts don't hold their value as well as the larger ag tractors.

My dealer told me he did not want any used 4000 series setting around on the lot and did not stutter or blink one bit by telling me so.
