Don\'t Believe Everything You Read
I came across the Nebraska Tractor test site. I noticed they had the John Deere 4320, 4520 and 4720 tests posted. Seems the tests show these tractors don't live up to the company's advertisement. Below is some of what they said about the 4320.
This tractor did not meet the
manufacturer's claims of 3130 lb (1423 kg) lift
capacity at ball ends nor implement pump flow
of 12.0 GPM (45.3 l/min). For the maximum
power tests, the fuel temperature at the injection
pump inlet was maintained at 167oF (75oC).
Before you Kubota guys get all excited, below is what they said about the M5700DT. This Kubota was the only model I saw listed.
This tractor did not meet the
manufacturer's claims of 26% torque rise nor 3310 lbs
(1500 kg) 3 point lift capacity. The performance
results on this summary were taken from OECD tests
conducted under the Code I Test procedure.
