New 4710 Came Home Yesterday

Bob,

Congratulations! I want to know about installation time, too, since my purchase has been delayed (see JD buying forum). I need to allow enough time when (if) my tractor finally arrives. Have you heard of any recalls on mmm 60" decks.

Thanks Barry....hopefully if you have a chance when the weather warms up a bit and you have some free time during your visits to Cambridge, you're welcome to stop by and see the 4710. Just let me know.

Jim,

Haven't forgotten the pictures....only problem is I'm doing things sort of the old fashioned way since I don't have a digicam. I've got 35mm shots and now need to figure out how to scan them as jpg attachments with the cheap scanner I have. Will continue to try until I have it right, then I'll post in this thread.

Delivery was real smooth. Jason was a real pro....everything I could have ever wanted KC-Canary was right on top of things. I believe what Jason was referring to was the diverter valve to operate the 4th and 5th SCVs. These are used to operate the top and tilt hydraulics. Yes, he did tell me this was a difficult procedure. I have some real nice pictures of the hydraulics that Jason worked on...never have I seen such a professional job with the way he set up the valves, hoses, and lines. What I'm grateful for though was Mark charged me for only 8 hours labor because this is what he committed himself to when I placed the order...even though I think Jason probably spent a good 25-30 hours on everything he did to set up the 4710. All in all, a very professional team of pros are at work at KC-Canary, Fultonville, NY. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others in upstate New York who are planning a purchase of a JD tractor.

Bob,

Congrats on the new tractor! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif I'm sure she will do the jobs
you have lined up. Mine has done far more than I thought it could
possibly accomplish.

You are absolutely correct on how much information can be gleaned
from the old conversations. I did the same as you and read every
one of the old threads. And I do mean every one of them. I was
lucky in that TBN was not THAT big a few years ago. I actually was
able to read all the Orange, Green and Blue discussions. I don't
think that is possible now, TBN is just to big. Gotta use the old
search engine! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Can't wait to hear how your tractor works for you.

Have you realized yet what you have to do to repay TBN
for all of the information you have gotten? You just have
to help the next group of people asking for help.... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Congrats and Have Safe Fun!
Dan

How about if I start by posting a few pictures of the 4710 with attachments./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

First one up is the 4710 with BuckTop canopy.

Now, a shot of JD's pallet forks....with lift capacity of approximately 1,400lbs.

Medium duty MX6 rotary cutter.

JD's heavy duty bucket with EXTRA heavy duty toothbar and bucket hooks. This toothbar was special made to accommodate the bolt on cutting edge.

Now, the 4in1 bucket with standard toothbar and bucket hooks.

SCV hydraulics....nicely plumbed in and color coded.
