4x30 Series Rumors?

KubotaBling · Mar 31, 2004

Yah thats the info from deere i got about 2-3 months ago i posted on the jd buying forum about the new tractors and info on that. That is what they had planned reducing the old legacy programs and replacing them with new platforms and reducing # of platforms bye about half. IE 6-7 to 3..

Add most requested addons as standards etc..

And, connect the dots, machines could then be sold by HomeDepot, or some kinda SuperDealer that keeps everything in stock, is setup to move lotsa product. I said 'could'.

I don't have a problem with Home Depot BUT it will be a cold day before I would ever buy a CUT from them. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I really don't expect to see them at HD. MAYBE a "special" series, but I doubt it.

But I do remember some allusion to some king of new arrangment where dealers will have more in inventory, and priced more attractively. It would sure help if the machines had the most popular option already in place fro the factory.

I hope this doesn't sound like a stupid question, but what is HID lighting? Do you think the new 4xxx series CUTs will have a redesign of some sort?

Is John Deere now going to build something bigger which would compete with a Kubota L5030 or a New Holland TC55?

The 4710 is not in the same league.

Thanks

Sorry. I really do HATE abrev.! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

HID is High Intensity Discharge lighting. those terribly bright headlights that fancy european cars sport. Deere has been promoting them at JDParts. They are super bright, efficiant, and have no filament so they last longer. Just an idea what more value might mean.

Yup, big changes coming... read this thread and check out other posts by KubotaBling; seems he picks up a lot at the donut shop.... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

When does a CUT become an UT?

Deere 5x20s and two other 5xxx series are already there...

Hi Mike,

Is the 5000 series as manuverable as the 4000 series?

I noticed a big difference between the Kubota L & M series.

Your mileage may vary, but I was surprised by their maneuverability. But then I expected them to be pretty bad... I would have to defer to owners especially if someone had both...
