4707

The LED's look nice. Are the factory lights really that bad?

Honestly I never even tried them, other than in the shed before I installed these. I’m sure they are fine.

I’ve gotten used to LEDs on most of the stuff I own, and it’s just tough to use halogens now. Testing out different LEDs is also becoming a bit of an addiction for me.

I just bought a kit from Amazon for my backhoe. It has one original light that still works on it, and sometimes it's dark when I get home, and I need more light to put a hay bale out for my horses and goats.

I bought this one from Amazon based on reviews. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YXSX7K8?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

If there is a significant difference, I might do the same when my 4707 arrives.

The factory halogen lights are plenty bright but there's just something about the allure of LED's for most of us. I mow well after dark all the time and I find myself not using the loader lights at all because the headlights and cablights are that good. I would like to upgrade the rear work lights though. I want more of a flood light to cover the 15' bat wing better.

Anyone else find that the power in the radio harness is not wired to ignition power?

Just installed a plug and play Jensen radio, and its always on, even with the key off. Thankfully you can turn the "power" off on the radio, but the screen is still backlit, and shows the time.

Hi All,
Been lurking here for awhile as I have been considering an upgrade to a 4707... Previously was running an IH 1086, and a JD 3020 gasser, I REALLY disliked the both of them.

I was able to find a new 4707 on a lot a couple hours away, I really wanted the 3615 loader, and they seemed tough to find on the 4707, this one has that, and the Dyna 2. Score.

I've only put about 5hrs on the tractor. So far I really enjoy it, but I'm having hard time smoothly taking off with the clutch primarily in Low 1 and Low 2. SEEMS like it gets better and is smooth in higher gears, but I haven't played with it a ton. No matter how easy I am in Low 1 it just feels like its banging into gear. Most of the hrs on the machine are blowing snow, and banging into gear makes it really tough when trying to ease into deep snow and drifts with the blower. It is smooth using the reverser without the clutch.

Anyone else experience this? I know there are couple youtube videos about it, but not sure if the guy ever did get it resolved.

Just ran the tractor again for the first time since this post. New issues- clatter and trouble code with the pto engaged, d 11 516433, along with with the transmission filter blockage indicator light. Also started to get a somewhat harsh clunk either when the clutch is 90% released or a few seconds after being fully released and on the move.

I’ll get a tech out and see whats up I guess.

Who is your dealer?

Who is your dealer?

Ziegler Cat.

Hopefully they are able to figure it out, the salesman acted like this was the first 4700 he had sold, and I think he’s been at that location for awhile… therefore I’m guessing the service department at that location doesn’t have much experience with them.

Interesting, I am curious as to how this gets resolved.

The only issue I've had is the 3pt hitch control. It's still not fixed. Other than that, everything is good.
