4320 vs 4720

[Laird006]

These two tractors use the same frames, seem to have the same weights and overall size.

any benefits to them other than 48hp vs 66hp.

also prices we're looking at is 30k for the 4320 with 400x loader and 33k for the 4720 with the 400x loader.


what are your guys thoughts?

Welcome to TBN

If you list what you need this tractor to do for you we can help better. But, bigger is always better:laughing:

 

[Laird006]

the jobs for this tractor are going to be bush hogging. 6 ft roto tiller. 7 ft box blade. FEL work.

from my experience, 48 hp should be plenty for what we want to do.

how about the prices? good?

Laird,
Welcome TBN first of all.

Most of us would expect 15 to 18% off list for a new 4000 series tractor. Go to Deere.com and use the build and price section to get a good idea what the msrp is with the options you want.

In March I was quoted $27,000.00 for a 4120 w/400x R4's and extra remotes, I know this is a little smaller (hp that is), but it gives you another 4000 series reference.

 

[Laird006]

list price on the 4320 is 34665, price we're getting is 30k.

list price on the 4720 is 38596, price we're getting is 33k.

For those tasks, the 4320 should be fine. The 7' box blade may task the capabilities of the 4320. Not so much because of hp, but because of the weight of the tractor and traction. If the roto tilling is in hard ground, then the extra pto hp would be nice but not critical. I used to use a 6' tiller on my prior 3720 (44hp) and even that tractor once slipped the pto clutch.

I now have a 4520 and like others have said, it has more hp for its size than needed for many tasks. If doing higher speed tasks like pulling trailer down the road, then the hp difference is most apparent.

bigger is better when you have the room - 4720

I've been studying the 3x20 and 4x20 tractors for several months now.
Besides greater horsepower, both the 4520 and 4720 offer the option of an economy PTO (ePTO) which will save fuel by allowing a lower engine RPM while yielding the same PTO (540) rpm.
Also, besides greater horsepower, the only other difference I've been able to discern between the 4520 and 4720 is that the 4720 boasts a higher hydraulic flow. Hope this helps.

I believe the hydraulic flow/pressure is identical for all the 4000 series tractors. 17.1gpm @ 2500psi. 5.1gpm for steering and 12gpm for implements.

Of course, the engine is the same as well on all models @ 2.44L.

That's what leads most folk's to the question of "how can I modify my 4120 to get 4720 hp"?
