l4400 vs mx4700

STROKETHIS · Jan 28, 2011

I was just curious what some of the diff. are in these machines as on paper they look real close. Just curious if the mx4700 is worth the extra doe as my dealer is kinda pushing the l4400. Could be that he has bout 20 on his lot and only one 4700. he says people buy more 4400 than 4700 say there more user friendly but i can't tell no diff. Oh yeah this will be a gear tractor.

Bigbull338 recently bought a MX5100, maybe he can provide more info on the difference. I briefly looked at both and preferred the MX as it just seemed more substantial.

I quickly fell in love with the Grand L, so didn't research the others too much.

i think the mx4700 has a bigger front end, the hubs and axle and what not.
i would also look at the mx5100. as it will have the telescoping lower links. I've had mine for about 2 years and love it. I think it might also be a little heaver than the l4400.
Good luck

The MX4700 is slightly bigger all around, tires, engine, HP, weight, higher capacity loader. I think the 3ph is the same but don't quote me on that.

I'm not sure what would be more user friendly about the L4400, but if the dealer has both models drive them around the lot and then ask him to show you what the more user friendly features are.
Then you can decide which one fits you and your needs best.

I have looked long and hard at the 5100 and imo its just not worth it. I don't want a turbo or egr on the motor. For it to be turboed it onle has a slight increase in hp. The turbo is tiny tiny and i was told is there for emission purposes and not hp. I do the like links being adjustable but for the price diff. I can live with out it. I am 100% set on either the 4400 or 4700. Just trying to figure out if the 4700 is worth the extra doe. I'm leaning to the way that it is. Just was curious if there anything that stand out about em either way. Also can anyone tell me how the pto operates on these models. I noticed the lever with a cable. So when engaged does the pto work with the clutch like a older tractor you push the clutch in and the pto stops?

Has anyone compared the price of the MX4700HST to the MX5100HST lately?
I'm finding for a 4WD MX5100HST, FEL, and ag tires they want 25K - 26K for the zero percent offer and about 1K less for cash.

You can probably buy the parts to make it adjustable.
