I bought a 2021 (Brazil made) 4707 for a little over $55k from my closest dealer. He only had it for about a month when I found it. It has the 931x loader, Dyna 2, no visio roof, and the dealer is adding 3rd function. To get one with visio roof and 3615 loader was going to put it around $60k at their 2021 pricing, with little to no likelihood of them trading with another dealer. No nearby dealers had the tractor I wanted. One nearby dealer had an identical tractor without 3rd function for $59k. To order a 2022 tractor, about the same as what I could buy this one for but without Dyna 2 or air ride seat, was going to be about the same price as this one, but no definite delivery date. Dyna 2 is not an option for 2022.
A dealer about a 2 1/2 hour drive away that advertised having 3 4707 tractors with a self leveling loaders (936x) didn't actually have any 4707 tractors at all. Even those were just 12x12s, and he wouldn't quote a price. He was hoping to have some new tractors in sometime in February but couldn't confirm that.
I wanted to stay with one of 3 local dealers, who are all within an hours drive. Buying from a dealer outside of an hours drive, I nixed the thought, because I want a good relationship with the dealer that will do warranty work when needed.
My current tractor, an '87 or '88 Memo 451 (Deutz 45 HP equivalent) has no loader, so not having the 3615 loader should not be a big deal initially. But I will keep my eye out for an opportunity to trade for or buy a better loader if necessary. Does anybody know if the factory loader prep is different for the 3615 than for the 931x?
The dealer is supposed to deliver it today, depending on the weather. We are on the very edge of predicted freezing rain, sleet, snow, so we'll see if I get it this afternoon or not.
