Buying Advice Powerstar T4.75

[Wilky]

blue tooth is avaiable and while it doesnt have a seperate parkign break handle and cable, it does have a park in the range selector.....just like tractor from the past have had, old Fords, Deere, Internationals.....etc......so it does have a park and works like a park on hills and such...

Must of not been too past since my old tractors didn't have a Parking brake on the selector. You had locks on the foot brakes if you didn't want the tractor to move.

I actually prefer the Park function on the range selector... no way you're gonna try to take off, having forgotten to release the parking brake. My Kubota M6040 didn't even have a parking brake indicator light, and a couple of times I almost forgot to release the brake.

I agree My Kubota 5040 and 7040 samething I always forget the brake.I dont think the powerstar got anything wrong,this is coming from a Kubota owner.

we have always sold a lot of TD/TD5000 series tractors in the area, so the Powerstars should be the same.......New Holland actually sent us 2 right after the first of the year because of that....they were some of the first in the USA. kinda neat.....we were able to have them for a big farm show we put on in Texas here, and they got a LOT of attention and comments.....the were a big hit.....

that's funny...I'm in Texas and delivered a T4 to a customer on December 5 2011...Currently have 15 in different configurations in stock. Not as quick as seller as planned. Also...very easy to reset the hour meter...lol found a few quirks on these tractors.

Yeah, we had a 4010 and I believe a 4020 that had this system. Just like the poster above stated, it sucks as an alternative to a manual brake when one man is trying to hook up implements.

Now if it has this it's a moot point -- I don't remember seeing this though. Our Massey 35 was like this -- it serves the very same purpose of a dedicated parking brake.

My dealer has a rops model without a loader, but he told me he can get different brackets and put the 815 loader on it. I saw in an earlier post only one loader was available, just wondering if anyone else had heard this.

I'm far from being an authority on the matter but it looks like the NH 655TL FEL is what is being used from the factory.

Is the tractor your looking at a 4x4 or 4x2?

I've heard and read that a FEL can't be installed on a 4x2 PowerStar. I think there are some comments in this thread about that. Not for sure on this though ..........

There are a few dealers on here who are a wealth of information. I'm sure they'll be able to help out with your question.
