MF 4700 Series

Forgot to mention, the 931 and 931X use the same loader mounts.

i bought a 4710 in april traded my 4610 for it and it is much more tractor than the 4610 has large cab and its very quiet.that was the biggest complaint with nthe 4610 it was very noisy.it has the same engine but even it is much quieter and smooth running.it handles these steep hills around here with ease and the radial tires and air ride seat make it a very comfortable ride very pleased so far.i know this tractor is assembled in china but it has much better build quality than the Japanese 4610 or the Brazilian 481 I had. im glad to see massey making their own tractors again as the global series were designed and built from the ground up,and are more like the heavy built masseys of the past.the price is very competive too,

I have been looking pretty hard at this class of tractor. Here are some videos on the 4700 series. Massey Ferguson 4700 Global Series Cab Utility Tractor - YouTube
This video is a comparison of the 4600 vs the 4700. Looking at the tractors side by side I felt the 4700 series looked like a lot more tractor. The trelborg tires also seemed to be a good addition to the 4700. Massey Ferguson 4700 Global Series Cab Utility Tractor - YouTube

Tractors made in China look very reliable when buying, asking is ? How these tractors will look like after half a year of work and how all parts of the sheet will look. I do not believe that all sheet metal parts (small and large) are treated against corrosion (painting is poor - cataphoresis is required). I prefer European quality - ZETOR: ZetorNA (@ZetorNA) on Twitter

I've had my MF Global 4707 for about 4 months. It is a great tractor. I got mine with the 931 Loader. If you are doing loader work get the 931 not the 931x. Many bad 931x stories. Yes it's made at a new factory in China. But it's a Global tractor . Also manufactured in France. The loader are actually ALO/Quicke. The tires are Norwegian. The 4WD front axle is either US/DANA or Italian/Carraro. The engine roots are Finnish/SISU ( now Agco power ). The design was mainly done in France. It is way heavier duty than the 4600 series. The Cab is spacious and well layed out. The heat and air are very good. Get the deluxe with the 12/12 wet clutch shuttle. You can shift just using a button on the shift lever. And the PTO up/down buttons on the fenders will make your life easy. Also here in the US the 4707 ( 70HP ) doesn't use DEF. The bigger brothers 4708 4709 4710 do use DEF. I've got about 75 hours on it, very happy with this choice!

I have been looking at the 4707 also. It looks to be built very well. Also interested in the new 2018 LS MT5.73. The LS does have twice the powertrain warranty (6 years). None of the dealers have one in stock yet though.

Will be getting a hands on look at the 4707 this week.

I was looking at a 4710 today at the farm show. I think it's a good looking tractor. The red paint sure stands out. But red is my favorite color. I love CASE/IH red as well!

I just love the lights/grill configuration. I think it looks very good. Some may disagree.

The 931x loader looks way cheesy/flimsy and sticks out way far though. I'd like to see the heavier 931 loader.

Other Massey's I have interest in:

Look at the months AND hour limitation on the warranty. Unless the failure is a result of weathering from sitting outside, it is hours of use that typically contribute to a failure, not actual time (age).
