2001 4700 John Deere
Just wondering if anybody has herd of a chip for John Deere diesel compact tractors? I know they do it in pickup trucks and gain a lot of HP.

I have a 4700 which is 49 HP. Could use more power.

Sorry, but nothing like that is made-at least not yet...probably not enough of a market for them I guess.

If you need more power then you likely need a bigger tractor.....Adding power to a pickup that runs wide open for short bursts at a time is different that adding power to a tractor that may use it continously in plowing or thru the PTO shaft.If your going to add power,the best way is with a turbo if its a N/A engine,then add a little fuel to match the increase in airflow.Just turning up the fuel will give you a little power,but create high EGT's and black smoke.Remember there is no free lunch a modified,higher hp engine will wear out faster and be less reliable than that same engine at stock power levels.

I thought about this when I read the thread...
If the tractor is built for X hp and you boost it to X+Y... at what point will you go past the engineered tolerances of the components built for X hp?


even if it is possible, not sure if it would be safe......

Kinda like that thread about boosting the lifting capabilities by changing the shims on the loader of a bota... good to a point, and then damaging....


Just I would not want to be the one testing that limit...

ts performance makes them but they are only for the bigger tractors,i kinda want one for my 4510 40 horse just to give me a little more when plowing and on the bigger jobs,without have to go down the road about 3 miles to get a bigger tractor.the web site is Diesel Performance Specialists
