Local dealer now telling me he can do a 2019 under 50k. He has located one in the field that he can get. According to the dealer, the 2018's with the options I want will cost more. He's telling me the transfer fee from dealer to dealer are set by the dealer that has the tractor and several he is dealing with on the 2018's have high transfer fees. I'm a couple of weeks away so I have not pinned him down on an exact number yet. Once I get him there I'd like to see him throw in a front third function for a grapple.
Price difference on 2018 MF 4707 vs 2019??

Look at the air ride seat and compare to the standard seat. I saw someone on YouTube talking about it on their 4707, DLH farms I think. The arms rests are adjustable and longer, beside the comfort on rough fields. Mine is super smooth and worth it to me.
On the third function you need to ask if they are replacing the joystick. I just assumed since the factory stick had the button for it they were just adding the hydraulics but they changed the stick too. I am now looking into changing it back with factory stuff. I had them throw it in and I am sure most people do not care. If I knew I would have paid the price difference, but I did not know to ask.
As for the transfer fee there must be some high shipping fees to get it there or for them to trade models to each other. A 2019 4707 for $50,000 and throw in the above options sounds great and you have 540e unless you need 1000 pto for large implements that need it.

Great input Crazydad. I had planned on the air seat. Test drove one with it and was sold. The one I test drove also had the joystick with the third function button already on it too. Like you I assumed the joystick was completely adaptable to adding the front third function with no need for adding to it or replacing it.
Hopefully tomorrow I can get a more firm figure from the dealer and actually look at the tractors paperwork to see the exact options. I do know it is delux cab model. I think it has the high viz window also.
The 540e standard on the 2019 works perfectly for me. I will check with the dealer on joystick.

Dealer says the 2019 includes visio roof, filled tires deluxe cab with air seat and buddy seat for 50k. Hes quoting $900 to add the third function for a grapple on the front of the loader. Dealer also assuring me the joystick will not need removed, just add to the current joystick.
