In 2022 they changed the AC system to one that really works good. Before then, there are some issues from what I've read online. I ordered my 4707 in November of 2021 and got lucky when they delivered a 2022 model in June.
When temps are around 100 degrees, and the humidity is so high that it affects your breathing, I can get into the tractor, turn up the AC to 3 and cool off the cab in minutes. The noise from the fan increases with each setting and 3 is almost too loud to drown our the radio. I've only put it on 4 a few times and its painfully loud, so I usually only go up to 3 to cool off the cab.
Once the temp is good, I switch between 2 and 1. I can't hear it at all when it's on 1, and just barely when it' son 2. The main reason to go to 1 is it gets too cold in there!!!!
I read that tinting the glass helps keep it cool in summer, but there's no need. The AC is fantastic!!!
Today, the temps are in the 40's and there is a 10 to 15 mph wind. We don't normally get a lot of wind here, but when it happens, I pretty much refuse to do anything outside. I've been paying bills and being lazy this morning, but I'm about to head out in the Massey and fill some more holes in the ground from removing trees with my backhoe.
The bucket is a lot smaller then the bucket on my backhoe, which is 1 yard. I'd have to guess that the Massey bucket is over half a yard, but probably not 3/4 of a yard. I never looked it up to know for sure what it holds. The two things that I like about the bucket is the cab that keeps me comfortable, and the 4 wheel drive. My backhoe is 2 wheel drive. The Massey just keeps pushing forward until the bucket is full, no matter how many years the pile of dirt has been sitting there. Same if I want to dig down into an area to level it off and use that dirt somewhere else. The Massey just keeps going, it's power and traction is very impressive. With my backhoe, I spin the back tires a lot when filling up the bucket unless it's perfect conditions. It will take me long to move dirt with the Massey, but I'll enjoy it more and stick with it longer because of the cab.
Just before putting the dirt bucket on it, I put the hay spear on it and hauled a few logs back to the house to cut into rounds for splitting. I have three loaders, and this was the fastest, easiest way to get those logs back to the house.
