My 4720 (model year 2011) was delivered just before Thanksgiving last year. The 485 backhoe wasn't attached because the dealer didn't have the PowerBeyond kit.
Last week the dealer picked up my 4720 and installed the PowerBeyond kit but evidently discovered they needed different mounting brackets to install the backhoe. The dealer says "I have to share with you that the brackets that mount the back hoe to the tractor are wrong. We have attempted to install your hoe and not been able to do so. We are working with Deere to get it sorted out. Model year 2011 information is not out for all the implements and there has been conflicting information."
They returned my tractor and it will need to go back when the mounting brackets arrive.
It seems odd to me that my 4720 didn't have the correct mounting brackets and that my dealer didn't know it needed the different brackets.
Any ideas what is going on?
