4707

[LouNY]

What tire pressure are you guys running for the front and rear tires. Unless I missed it, it’s not shown in the operation or maintenance manual. I have the ag tires. If it matters, I have the 34 inch rear tire. Coming from the dealership it was 31psi in the front and 16psi rear. Thanks, AJ

Sounds close

Hi all,

Thanks for all the information on this thread. I wished I would have found it earlier. I bought a 2022 MF 4707 last week and should have it delivered this week with a tint job on the cab. I did not order it I just looked around at many dealerships and this was on the lot near me. I did look back through the last few years at pricing and tractors have definitely followed the the trend . I compared the JD 5075e, Kubota M4-071, and Mahendra 6075. Pricing on the JD was 53.5k with 520m loader, kubota was 59k, and I didn't quote mahindra after comparisons it fell off th list. I would definitely recommend price shopping with dealers as none would budge until I showed them a quote. I flew out to Arkansas for work and stopped at Brunos to test drive. They quoted 57k with cab, air ride seat and wheel weights. It had the 913x loader. The open station was 45k. I was able to use that to help get pricing down from low 60s to what we finally settled on. Thanks again for all the info in this thread and hopefully this helps someone else.

*****Edit***** I ended up paying 58.5k for the 2022 MF 4707 with radio, mechanical seat, and the non self leveling FL loader. This is in East Texas. Separately I got a 72 inch armstrong grapple and added 3rd function on the bucket. I will post pictures when it arrives.

Did you have them widen the stance once it delivered to the dealer? How do you like it ?

I did, only have 5 hours on it. Other than a hose clamp on the heater core above the cab not being on correctly, I like it so far. Clutch is very grabby, seems to not have much slip almost like on or off. The shuttle smooths that out though.

If you widen yours be sure to adjust the bump stops. If not, the left front tire on a left turn will contact the fuel tank-skid plate

Good to hear, Do a lot of mowing on hills or so? Trying to weigh out advantages of the widened stance compared to stock stance

Yes, I have a lot hills/off camber stuff to deal with.

Preciate it, I will probably option for the wider when it comes in

So I’m not the only one experiencing this. Makes inching forward or backwards pretty tough. Which is a big deal.

Update: tractor was delivered back to me from the dealer a few days ago. I "think" the 3pt hitch issue was fixed, but I won't know until I hook up to trailers and start yanking them around the yard. That's hard to do with all the snow we have right now.

Also, the leak over the cab was fixed.

The hood was not fixed. You pull the small lever to raise it and it goes up a little bit then comes back down. They said they were waiting on a part. Must be the hydraulic arms.

Anyway, it's nice having the tractor back on the farm...with heat.

Curious if you’ve used the 3pt and if they got it working correctly?

Curious if you’ve used the 3pt and if they got it working correctly?

I used it today to tow a trailer around the farm. The answer is...I don't know if it is working correctly, but it isn't working the way "I think" it should be working.

Here's why: when you back up to a trailer and raise the 3pt hitch to hook up, the hitch still raises even when you've stopped moving the control tab in the cab. Likewise, while you're on the move towing the trailer and you have to raise or lower the hitch for whatever reason, you might move the control tab just a little bit...but the hitch keeps going (either raising or lowering, depending on which direction you are sliding the tab).

It's getting a little frustrating. The dealer says they've sold a crapload of 4700 tractors and no one else is having this problem. I'm not touching the draft control knob, either, so that's not the issue. I've never had an electric over hydraulic 3pt hitch system before. Is this lack of absolute direct control over the 3pt hitch simply part of the deal with electric/hydraulic?

As far as I'm concerned, it's also a safety issue. You don't want anyone near the 3pt hitch while either raising or lowering it because once you slide the control tab, it's going to do whatever it wants to do and you're not really in control over it.

 

[LouNY]

I'm not familiar with your Massey, but every electrical/electronic controlled 3 point I've used had a few adjustments.
Such as speed/response, sensitivity and a draft control, often one button settings to raise to a set point and drop to a setpoint.
Also if running at a low idle the response will be slower then at mid throttle or higher.
It may take considerable fiddling with the adjustments to get your desired results.

I’m quite convinced you’re operating it correctly and it’s got a fault in the system. With my 5M Deere witch is my first tractor with electronic over hydraulic 3pt controls it is a very precise correlation between the finger control and the distance the 3pt arms move. I would say possibly more precise than a good cable operated system. Did the servicing dealer tell you what they did to try and fix it? On mine it appears there are 3 main components; the finger tip control in the cab , the electric position sensor mounted to the back of the rock shaft and a electric operated hydraulic valve that supplies oil to both lift cylinders. All three are wired together, that’s there communication, I would bet yours is very similar. Some how your electro hydraulic valve is not getting the signal to properly control flow to and from the lift cylinders. Not being able to control the 3pt as far as I’m concerned is a major problem. I’d be on the dealer to fix it especially before your warranty expires.

It should go to the desired height (be it 4 or 7), but it won't necessarily be instant, it may take a couple seconds to get there.

It will also lower extremely slow without an implement hooked up as 3 points don't lower hydraulically, it strictly uses the weight of the implement, or in the case of nothing hooked up, the weight of the 3 point itself.

Anyone happen to know what the following fault code is:

d 3
516427

Guessing it has something to do with the fuel gauge which is reading zero when it’s half full.

Man I just logged on to ask the same question. The fuel Guage was at about 3/4 and it pegs empty and slowly comes back up while in neutral and pegs spuradically when driving. I got the same code sometimes and an audible alarm. Sometimes I only get the pegged needle with the red empty light and no audible alarm or fault code. Mine is a 2022 4707 with about 5 hours on it.

Fault code disappeared before I could take a pic of it.

Still waiting for mine to be picked up for repair.

Mine too. Are your cab doors really hard to latch from the inside the tractor? Mine are but it is my first cab tractor so I thought it was normal until last night......I was shutting it and the bar pulled through the bottom if the door.
