Barring some disaster between now and Monday morning I plan on ordering a JD 4720 E-hydro, Curtis Cab and a 400X loader. My local Minnesota dealers weren't as fond of my New HOlland as a couple of dealers in Wisconsin were. I will have to drive a bit to get it but the price difference is worth it.
My TC40DA has 230 hours, Super Steer and the 17LA loader and is in pristine condition. What disappoints me the most is that the local dealer that I've purchased 5 different garden tractors, including my current X595, a couple of Gators, an 855, 4300 and a 4400 over the past 15 years along with all of the parts and service, coats, weedtrimmers, you name it, offered me the least on trade.
As I said, I plan on ordering it MOnday morning. I've maxed out my tractor budget with what I plan on ordering. Consequently, I'm ordering the Curtis cab with the soft doors rather than the hard doors which saves about a grand. I was thinking earlier today that if I dropped down to a 4520 I could add the hard doors back in.
SO my question for you folks, any chance I would miss the extra hp of the 4720. THe main reason I'm trading the New Holland is that is just doesn't seem to have the power of Deere. I tried a 4120 which is rated about the same as my TC and the Deere just seemed to have more. I would seriously consider staying with the New Holland if they offered more power, hydraulic capacity, etc in a hydro package. Unfortunately, they don't.
