When I ordered my 3720 a a little bit ago, it was set to be in 3 weeks from the order date. I had to let it sit at the dealer becasue it came in just over a week later and the loader was not there. The loader took 3 weeks.
Man, 4720 is gone. Kinda feels weird, I will miss that tractor.
My dealer is working on the delivery times, etc. All I know is I need it in 30 days to rake hay! If it doesn't show, I bet they would loan me something to get it done.

D; get them to commit to doing that.

D. good and bad with selling your 4720 - good that you got a good price and a solid buyer; bad that the machine is gone before your new one is front and center, ready to roll.
I had a similar situation and sold my old tractor within 3 days of posting on Craig'slist but the buyer let me keep my old machine for a couple of week's until my new one was ready. (I made it worth his time and gave him a very good price on a 3pt log splitter).
It seems that if a tractor is reasonably priced and is well maintained (records, owner's manuals, etc.) there's a ready market of buyer's that's alot stronger right now than anything comparable in the automobile world!

Hey Darin,
Nice work on the upgrade. Why the 4520 instead of another 4720 with a cab?? Is the extra couple HP not a big deal?? Did you get 3rd SCV, a diverter kit, or power beyond??
I finally started moving rounds off my GN last week with my 4720/400x/spear/Ballast box with gravel and fluid in tires. I figure they were about 1200lbs and I had no problem at all. I even did a little test to see if I could pick up and place bales off the second row of the GN, and I could. Had to be VERY careful, but it did it.
Wanted to say thanks to everyone that's offered advise over the past few months.
