    Is eThrottle available on the JD3720?

    My JD4720 came with eThrottle. Is eThrottle also available on the JD3720? Thank you, Regards. FRIZ [I]兎Throttle is standard on the 4720 with an eHydro transmission.

    Pictures: My new tractor arrived today

    Today was the big day - my new John Deere 4720 was delivered. Considering that one year ago I did not know what a PTO is, it is remarkable that today I took it for a spin around my property. Photo of the tractor with its new garage in the background is attached.
