4707

[Crazydad]

Wow, this is great. I was thinking the other day it seemed like the music was not so stellar. Thank you for posting on this!

How has your tractor been? Mine has been good minus some squeaks/rattles in frame and on seat. I need to now get it checked out before warranty. Just sounds like maybe came a little loose. Then some sort of knocking sound sometimes after using brake like in the transfer case somewhere bc it uses the 4wheel drive for braking. 200 hrs though and that is it. Love it otherwise but tempted after warranty period to get a little more hp from the computer. Idk if I will actually do it. Sometimes going up some steeper hills with mower it will bog down a little more than i would like.

Just remember it is still a 4 inch speaker so still no mid bass and lower. The separation between frequencies and extra highs makes everything clearer. I am still thinking about a shallow powered sub behind the seat or in the map pocket. Black Friday/Monday is coming up so that is a good time to buy. I need to replace all the lights too so I see a few projects coming in December.

I had a clunk in the trans a few times and a software update seems to have fixed it so take it in if you can and ask about a update. I still love it. I am trying to justify the cost of the HP increase by the increase in fuel economy offsetting the price.

I want to lightly ceramic tint the windows for UV but my guy is in downtown Austin TX and I my trailer is 32 feet through tight streets. With curvy windows they have to use a heat gun to make it right and you need someone with years of heat gun experience or it will be slightly distorted in the curves. If I do it I will try to get some pics.

particularly now that it's getting colder, remember to start and warm up the 4707 with the trans lever in neutral, not just the power reverser.
Once I started doing that (the proper way...) I never got any jumpiness at idle any more. And they did a flash on my trans also.

Just wanted to pass on recent pricing quote from Brunos ( Arkansas) on a 4707 ; 2019 model with 931x loader , Air Suspension Seat , 2 Sets Rear Remotes , delivered 47,800 . He says he has two on the lot if anyone is interested . My budget is still a little short and I'm not quite ready to pull the trigger . Hope this helps . BTW Daugen I appreciate all the info you have provided with your tractor and I certainly hope you get to feeling better.

That’s great to know. Thank you!

I have both a 1754 and a 4707. For getting heavy work done, there is no comparison as mass realy matters. The only downside I致e experienced with the 4707 is it burns considerably more fuel than the 1754. Glad I have both as the 1754 allows me to travel on trails and get in corners I壇 never take the 4707. I put a severe duty grapple on the 4707 and it is a beast (we are constantly dealing with down trees). I probably won稚 do much bushhogging with the 4707....too wide and too thirsty compared to my other tractors.

Hey it may be too thirsty still, but have you tried the 540E setting when running the bushhog? I leave E on with my 10’ and it can really cut a lot and not use too much fuel.

Hey does anyone know how to turn the self leveling part off on the 936x? Or maybe it’s not possible?

It's mechanical linkage. You can't turn it off. That is, unless you take your loader off.

I got a quote from our local dealer: new MF 4707, FL3615 self leveling loader, HD bucket, cab for $55K cash price.

I can do without the HD bucket (we have other buckets on the farm that we can use), but I think I'd want the air seat vs. the mechanical suspension, so that would probably be a wash.

Thanks for the self leveling piece- I wondered that may be the case since they called it mechanical self leveling..

Hmm, seems a tad high than it was about 2 years ago, but, I had some quote me that as well. So I kept looking. Thankfully another that wasn’t too far away was in mid 40s. I really like the air seat.. self leveling 936x, high vis glass roof, I had them take the 34” tires off though bc I didn’t want/need the bigger tires and swap with another. I’ve got a little over 200 hrs and besides this clunk sometimes after braking (something with the 4wheel braking) and probably needing transmission flashed, it’s been great. Love it. 4707. I would have looked at the (m4?) Kubota but they were a good 9+ months before it was going to come out. I don’t like the skinny Kubota ag tires though. They may have the similar tires to the MF now, idk, I haven’t looked at it in a good while at all the details.

BTW, the only reason I'm considering a 4707 is they are now being made in Brazil. If they were still solely made in China, that'd be a no-go.

I hear you, just know the huge new Chinese Agco factory is considered state of the art. My tractor was just as well made as the previous Kubota.
And get the air suspension seat, it's super comfortable. I didn't get the self leveling bucket and regretted it, since I did a lot of tree work using a man lift cage on pallet forks, where the glass
roof was very valuable for vision.

Hey,

I hear you on the China piece. It was frustrating to not be able to find a half way affordable American made option without looking at 85k+ on the R John Deere. It’s hard to not find much coming out of China these days...it changed a little over the past few years (like this MF coming out of Brazil) but not much.
I wanted the Kubota, made in Japan, but it was going to take too long & all the dealers told me Kubota was notorious for not sticking to their launch/delivery dates. I knew someone who bought a new NH (made in turkey..) who had tons of issues with it so that made me want to avoid it. Not to mention I just liked the MF package better! Good luck!

Went to the dealer today. Third time there since September inquiring about the 4707. They have no cab/4x4/loader models there and won't get another one until springtime. I asked if they could find one spec'd the way I wanted and got "maybe. We'll ask around." They just don't sound like they're motivated to sell me a 4707. I'm not sure why, as I've already purchased two MFs from them (2007 1540 and 2013 1643) and now am serious about a 4707.

Even their pricing says "Meh. Take it or leave it. We don't care."

That’s frustrating. What about asking if you can manage to find one (I’m sure elsewhere you can) will they still do warranty work as you need to buy this year/taxes etc..?

If you’ve bought two others from them then how could they deny doing warranty work on this one which you’ve tried to buy from..?!

Pulled the plug on it. Told them "thanks for all the help, but I'm going in a different direction."

First post so Hopefully this is the right thread. Also looking to buy 4707. Question is 931x or 936x loader($400 difference)? Also my preference would be 460 85 r30 tires on rear with 340 85 r24 but the one in stock has 420 85 r30 and 320 85 24 on the front. What size tires are you guys running and should that be a deciding factor on waiting two months on another one?

No idea of your location or use of the tractor,
the wider tire will give more flotation but not necessarily more traction.
I have to run chains in the winter so one of my first questions is the clearance for chains.

I am in Georgia so snow isn稚 a issue just a lot of red clay. Thanks!

Not sure what you are doing with tractor but you might take a look at the FL series loader. Its a more rugged loader than the 900X series
