Price Check 4520 with cab price

[WH401]

While a leak can be a worry with a filled tire, I feel the benefits of the filled tire out weigh it. One, filling the tire is probably going to be cheaper than the wheels weights, and possibly heavier as well. Secondly, filling the tire makes it solid and removes that springiness you encounter when going over bumps with just air filled tires. Third, filling the tires is going to give you slightly better stability because it's going to put the greatest amount of weight at the lowest possible point closest to the ground. Fourth, filling the tires puts all that extra weight on the actual tire that is resting on the ground, instead of the wheel weight which puts more weight on the axle.

Definitely check to see what the dealer uses before you opt for filling the tires though. If RimGuard is available than I would recommend getting that. It might cost a little more, but it's benefits are worth it. It's heavier than water alone, biodegradable, freeze resistant down to near -40, and it's non-corrosive.

I have the standard exhaust on my 4520 and I am glad it is the horizontal exhaust. It is one less thing in your eye sight. You can haul it and not worry about something going down the stack, etc.

The vertical stack looks cool, but I passed with it on my 4520.

If you can get the dealer to fill your tires with RimGuard for free -- GO FOR IT!! As WH401 indicated, the weight from filled tires is where you want it - down low and off the axle.

You can get nearly as much weight in 1 filled tire as you can with ALL the available 6 weights on the rears.

It's nearly a toss up with the vertical exhaust option - IMO. It looks cool and it does help dissipate the fumes away from the cab... but it gets in the way when using the loader and hinders your ability to see across the hood.

If it was included in the price of the tractor and not an added charge - I'd likely get it - but if I was paying more to have it; well... I wouldn't likely bother.

Good luck with your new tractor.

Rim Guard gets high marks.

I would not go with the vertical exhaust unless you are worried about catching the grass on fire, etc.

its with everything I listed but the vertical exhaust you all think its good or bad?

If the price includes sales tax and all delivery costs for $38,000 then I think it is OK. The dealer can still make a profit (that is why he is in business) and you get a good deal too.

Seems to be fair and in the ballpark.
