Comparison Deere 5065E vs M7060 value & pricing

   / Deere 5065E vs M7060 value & pricing #51  
I watched the Massey video of the 4707's powershuttle having a neutral position so you can control everything with your left hand
with what looks like a light effort control.
Your left leg isn't used for anything. That sure got my eye, just what I'm looking for. But do the others have it?
Perhaps I should ask this in another thread about powershuttles but would be interesting to compare the OP's two models noted.

Kioti RX 7320 has a clutch on the gear stick so you wouldn't have to use your leg.

I don't like that the kioti is on the left hand side. The 4707 had it on the right and was a little bit more user friendly.

The 4707 also cost about 6 or 8 grand more too though.

I bought my 4707 for $45400...loaded! Kioti similarly equipped was $43500. The MF is a much better value with a Buddy seat, heavier weight and capacity, air seat, and Trellborg tires. Kioti does have a longer warranty though

That's the deal I had on the 4707 but that's a lot higher on the kioti.

I could have got a loaded RX 7320 for 37,000. I liked the MF better but that's on the buyer to decide on how much better.

When I added 3rd function, weights, and larger bucket it added up...

I was concerned about my M7060 regens happening at inopportune times. I think I've had two so far (60 something hours on my machine now). I would not have realized it was happening without the light coming on.

Both times I was running a rotary cutter. Once I was in EPTO mode. I didn't notice any change in RPMs or performance of the tractor.

Basically a non-issue with the way I use this tractor.

BTW, I'm very pleased with my M7060. I opted for the larger tires and cast wheels. I think that makes a big difference in my muddy and rough conditions.

Can't speak to the John Deere but yes, the Kubota M7060 shuttle does have a neutral position. Shuttle shift is the left hand lever - neutral is the middle position, push forward to go forward, pull backwards to reverse. No clutching needed.
That being said, most times I don't use the clutch when going from forward to reverse in the lower gears but I do when the engine is under full power and using higher gears. The transition is just too violent for me. Even then, clutch engagement is pretty abrupt compared to my old John Deere.

The MF has declutch functions on shuttle shift lever and 6 speed lever. On shuttle shift, simply lift lever and shift 6 speed trans or just stop. On the 6 speed lever, there is a side button. The shuttle shift is also adjustable in sensitivity. Smooth or aggressive. Very nice features

I bought my cabbed RX7320 earlier this summer: $39,500 delivered with self-leveling loader (standard), 2 sets rear remotes (1 standard; 1 added as option), block heater (option), mirrors (comes with 2 exterior ones standard; Internal rear-view was added as an option), loaded tires (optional), and one free pick-up/delivery. Comes with EPTO, extendable lift arms, and locking stabilizers. Not sure which of these items are standard/optional on the other brands. I've got about 80 hours on mine; so far no trouble.

The MF4707 looks like a very nice machine; I didn't get local pricing but based on what others have paid I think it would be about $5000 more; not sure if that includes all the options that the RX7320 has or not.

The RX7320 is similar. Powershuttle lever is to the left of the steering wheel. To shift from forward to reverse simply lift the lever and move it. No clutching. To shift between gears in the same range there is a button on the gear shift. Simply press and shift. No clutching. To shift between ranges one needs to use the clutch pedal. I don't believe the range changes are synchronized. I always stop when I change range.

The sensitivity/speed at which the tractor decelerates/accelerates when using the power shuttle can also be adjusted. There are some buttons for that.

The RX7320 has 4 gears in 3 ranges where I believe the MF4707 has on 6 gears in 2 ranges. I can see the benefits of both.
