I have a JD 4720 Cab with a 400cx FEL and a Ballast Box - filled with concrete - on the 3-point (iMatch) weight approximately 830 lbs.
The other day I tried to lift a 275 gallon Schutz IBC tote filled with water - weight approximately 2360 lbs. Not a good idea! Got very tipsy! I had to abort...
Earlier this year we bought a John Deere 4720 cab. The 4720 has R1 tires. Therefore it is useless to bring it anywhere near a lawn or grass area. So now the task is to mow around the three ponds (1.5 acre, 1+ acre and 0.5 acre), all with trees and grass around them, as well as the house which...
My JD4720 came with eThrottle. Is eThrottle also available on the JD3720?
Thank you,
Regards.

[I]兎Throttle is standard on the 4720 with an eHydro transmission. At the turn of a switch the transmission operates just like a car by electronically linking the engine and transmission together.納/I]
The other day I test drove the Kubota B3030 with cab. It was not a satisfying experience. Therefore I am reconsidering the John Deere 3720 cab with 72in mid-mount mower. (I know that the B3030 and JD3720 have not only different price points but also have different weight.)
The task for the...
I went to the Kubota dealer today to test drive a B3030 with cab. I am interested in one as I want to mow the lawn in the comfort of a cab with A/C. And maybe in the future to snow-blow as well, but no concrete plans yet. The only tractor I know is the JD 4720 with cab. Obviously one cannot...
Ok, gentlemen, here is a tough one: I need to know the weight per square inch for the following two tractors, both with cab and MMM, but without FEL:
Kubota B3030
MMM 60
MMM 72
John Deere 3720
MMM 60
MMM 72
Thank you for all your help.

Hi:
I need a good self-propelled lawn mower to mow where a lawn tractor can稚 go. Consumer Report thinks highly of the Honda HRX Series Self Propelled Lawn Mower.
Would you be so kind to share your experiences? Good and bad.
Thank you.

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.
Some of you guys must think that I am crazy. I just bought a John Deere 4720 and now I am talking about buying another tractor. And the Kubota B3030HSDCC cab and John Deere 3720 cab have not only different price points but are also different in size. For this (serious) discussion let us consider...
The big day is approaching. On Monday my JD4720 and most attachments will be delivered.

I am getting ready to order my JD4720. I was already set to order the JD4720 with R1 tires. But know I have second thoughts. What if I have a tree down next to the pond and I will have to drive over the lawn to get the tree stump and get it to the meadow?
Can I do this with R1 tires without...

I am getting ready to order my JD4720. One of the attachments I wanted to get was the Frontier Woodchipper. I love the idea of a PTO driven Woodchipper which can be attached to the iMatch Quick-Hitch. And the fact that if I have any problems with a Frontier product I just call the JD dealer. But...

Hi everybody:
What is the difference between the 400CX and 400X? Obviously self leveling. Anything else? Is there a disadvantage to self leveling? Is the self leveling worth the approximately $600 difference in price?
Please clarify for me.

Yesterday I went to the John Deere dealer to have a look at a 3720 with cab. I went around it, I sat in it and I looked it over. I am in love. This is a dream tractor. It has everything one could wish for. On top of it, it is quite like a Labrador puppy. One wants to take it home to the kids...

Most of you guys speny a lot of time to convince me that I need two machines. A big one and a small one. O.K. for the big one I like the Kubota Grand L40 series and John Deere 3000 series. (I'm still open to other manufacturers.) As most of my land is wooded, I need to learn about forestry use...
