Buying Advice 4720 or 5085m

[corey9212]

I haven't made a payment since I traded in my 5085M. But I only have 3 and my payments are 15,000 each.

WOW, what tractors are they for such payments?

I guess you haven't looked at your payment book, yet.. Edward has his loan structured to pay the tractor off in "quarters". Lot's of 'em! :laughing:

My payment will be monthly, but I don't know exact numbers cause he won't have the paperwork till everything is in (for serial numbers) the loader is 3 weeks away so basically he's giving me the tractor for 1 month free to use before payments start coming out.

Whoa... now, that's some real lettuce - Edward!

Yeah I guess so! I traded my 6420! For a 7230R and a 6430 Premium with a Loader and fat tires. Loads the new holland 195 full with 6 buckets! My payments are usually semi annual or annual.

Congrats on the purchase corey9212. I hope the tractor works out with your back issues. I didn't sit in one of the cab tractors, I new I would want one. Everything I've read from people claim the air seat in those is quite comfortable.

I did test the air seat in the dealers yard (lots of lot holes) and it works great, I barely felt the biggest pot hole. I'm sure it will work great for me. I just hope it is a good tractor cause there isn't much info on it on the net in terms of reviews and flaws and things like that.

Hate to break it to you but I have a few problems on my 5085M. Tractor leaks is leaking hydraulic fluid but dealer can fix it via warranty. Speedometer speed display will fluctuate sometimes and sometimes won't even work and shutting off the tractor when left in range

example sometimes the tractor wont stay into C Range turn off and restart, and its not in range anymore.

But isn't the range selector put in that range manually by you? (you have to physically put it there like a manual transmission) cause if so then that would be a mechanical problem with the transmission and should be warranty?

Should be, if it isnt i would be very mad

Well... that was the first problem I had with my new M - the transmission shift linkage was not adjusted correctly. Could not shift it into Park - at all. So, the tractor would roll after shutting it down.

Not something you want to happen. Could have several calls to your Insurance agent for property damage claims....
