Deere 4720 capabilities

[Tritonman]

I am dealing on a 4720 and am curiousm about the limits you guys have pushed it to. I am talking about how wide of disc etc how big of mower

I habe a four row planter i want to pull with it that recommends 50 pto hp so i will be pushing it there
I have a 3320 cab for sale if anyone is interested

The smallest Hp 5000 series will probably be less money than the 4720. You'd get a bigger frame, more weight, and about the same power. Look at it quick, it could be an eye-opener. Apparently you don't plan to mow your lawn with it, so get the Ag tires. The R4's are not good for ground-engaging work such as discing.

For what you want to do I'd be looking at the 5000 and 6000 series tractors -- heavier and more hp depending on model.

I have a 4320 with R4's. I pull a fairly heavy 8ft. Priefert 24x20 disk, and it does well. However, in soft dirt with the disks burried, it's about all the tractor wants without beginning to struggle. I also use a MX-6 rotary cutter. In 90% of situations, it handles the MX-6 with ease (although it can make the front end a little light). I would love to pull a 10ft rotary cutter, but I think 40hp at the pto is pushing things a little. Your 4720 should handle a 10ft pull behind rotary cutter fairly efficiently unless you are in real heavy grass. I also think the R4's will limit your abilities vs R1 tires. I can't advise about planters because I have never pulled one.

You never know...I am not really "looking" but if the right deal falls in my lap I could be tempted!

i know someone who lost a 5000 series tractor to a fire and replaced it with a 4720. He was disappointed with it and now wants a bigger tractor.

What size 5000 series tractor, and what tasks was he expecting the 4720 to perform? The larger 5000 series are definitely in a different league than the 4720. However, the smaller 5000's, although much heavier and better for ag applications, will have similar HP.
