Congrats on your new tractor! Lookin' forward to seeing your pictures, too.

(Any chance you could get the dealer to swap the standard "materials" bucket for the HD one before delivery? I think you'll be happier down the road..)

My current bucket is JD's Heavy Duty, but it is only 60" wide. The new one is a standard duty, but it is 73" wide; and I definitely want the larger capacity. I'm not overly abusive with my bucket, so it should work. However, when it arrives, if it appears to be too light duty, I'm sure the dealer would let me upgrade. From what I've seen, the only difference between the standard duty and heavy duty would be the ability to bolt on a cutting edge ?? Anybody know for sure ?

THANKS

Beavis,
You will love this tractor congrats on it.

Don't know the difference for sure but can tell you after 600 hrs on my 110 the bucket looks good as new. I have the heavy duty model with bolt in cutting edge.

If you'll look at your 60" bucket - you should see the additional 3/8" flat plate steel along the sides of the bucket - near the leading edge. Also, check out the top of the bucket. It's much heavier (and reinforced) steel there, too.

Beavis,
You are way better off going to the heavy duty buckets, these will maintain a straight edge and last a long time. I would buy a 72"hd bucket and never look back.

I stepped up last year from a 3720 to 4520, both with cabs. I switched from R4's to R1's on the 4520. Although the size specs are not dramatically different, the 4520 seems significantly larger and more powerful. Some of the feeling of larger is due to the height and clearance of the 4x20 series. The stability of the 4520 is vastly better than the 3720 and probably the most noticeable difference.

Curious we're thinking about 4720 with R4's, all our other tractors have R1's,
what made you go with the R1's.

Better traction in wet and muddy conditions. R4's "fill up and slick out" in mud; and they don't clean out.

Should be soon..........I hope.
