I have a 4720 and after some work in the woods, noticed some leaking axle fluid on the right underside from a 3" round rubber/vinyl seal where the turning gear housing is located. There was also some fluid on the inside of my tire. I suspect this seal was unseated from driving over some debris...

I have a 4720 w/ehydro and was wondering if the power steering pump and implement pump are completely seperate or if they are inline together as one circulatory system? I recently had a rockshaft valve replaced under warranty that was making a harmonic whine in the the 3PH. I also had a...

Anyone have enough hours on a 2720 to give us a review and answer some questions? I have a few questions: I noticed the 2720 has a bit more ground clearance that the other 2x20s and wonder if that translates to greater ground clearance with the MMM in full upright position. Which MMM does 2720...

Anyone else have these dimples on their plastic hoods? I have a 4720 and the dimples are the result of underhood mounting points for hood frame hinge. My dealer was cool and said he would exchange the hood for another 4720, but after checking, found many of the same dimples exist on all the...

I have a Landpride 2584 rake w/gauge wheels and bent a couple tines working in the woods. I've tried a few different methods to bend them back, but they won't listen to me. They are only off a couple inches...overall, the rake did a heck of a job and I am impressed with the rake. Any ideas? thanks.

I took delivery of a new 4720 this last December and have about 35 hours on it so far. Amazing machine so far...overall very happy. However, I was working the tractor in the woods with a rear Landpride 2584 rake and after a while of going back and forth and up and down with the 3ph to clear...

I have the 73" HD bucket for a 400cx loader on a 4720. It's stout enough for my needs, but it appears to be small for this size tractor. Is it me or does anyone else share the same opinion? I do not know the cubic yard capacity, but I wonder if I can upsize the bucket...maybe from the 5 series...

I have a seasonal stream following snow melt, rains, etc. that I would like to cross over. Unfortunately, crossing it is only possible during a deep freeze or the driest time of summer when it's mushy. Otherwise it's plain wet and muddy. The site in mind is about 10' wide and slight depression...

My new JD 4720 w/R-1s had trouble getting around in the woods through deep snow in Vermont. It was fine keeping my 250' drive cleared and I had no trouble blading some deep stuff, but when I ventured out onto my hilly trail, the wheels started to spin once the snow started to pack up against the...

I have been using my new 4720 with 400cx loader and so far have been very satisfied with the various features. One issue I expreince is while raising the 400cx loader from the full dump position located on the ground, it raises approx 1/3 up and stops until I adjust the bucket positon to a more...

I called a TNT dealer and originally was going for a 18x21 carport, gable "A" frame type for a JD4720 w/canopy 100" high. I figured the sides could easily be added later to whatever flavor I wanted. Did some math...callled back...heck I ordered a full-blown garage 22x26' with 10' sides (120"...

I took delivery of a 4720 w/BH448 and Frontier Grapple bucket. Also have the 73 HD bucket, Frontier fixed pallet forks, and a LandPride 2584 rake. The 448 has a Sundown UAT200 mechanical thumb...very stout. I only put a couple hours on it so far just learning the various features and...

I already know Landpride makes a great product, but I had a couple concerns before I buy a rake and blade. In reviewing the specs and manuals on the L.P. website, I am left with a few observations...maybe you can help clarify. 1) The 2584/3584 rake w/gauge wheels appear unable to turn 360...

Came across an article in the LA Times about Deere earnings...very rare too see any press on Deere (there's no room left for tractors on these freeways.) Anyway..."Deere reported a 52% increase in fourth quarter earnings Wednesday on surging demand for tractors and combines worldwide, walloping...

Anyone have a Bodozer bolt-on bucket claw? It is similar to the ATI bolt-on and uses similar tube from which the claw attaches. (I considered the ATI...I think it's a good attachment) There are a few features of the Bodozer I like: 1) It's pinned on and can easily be removed from the tube for...
