Watch that battery. My dealer had to replace the first battery (wouldn't start after about 10 hours of use). Now I have the white stuff all over the battery compartment area. Hopefully I can get them to put me a sealed battery in there. I am taking it back soon so they can fix that and add some more luxury items (TNT kit, cruise control, etc). But it is one awesome tractor with plenty of power. I have about 100 hours on mine in the first month. My 4310 is getting lonely.

Jay C....I guess I'm too simple to post pics. I can take them and email them to you to post if you would be so kind.

Congrats!

That is one of the tractors on my short list, along with the 4520, the Kubota 5030, and a bit larger tractor, the MF 481 (there's a gently used one for sale nearby). Which other tractors did you consider, and what clinched the deal for you on the 4720?

Thanks,

Grant

p.s. if you e-mail the pics to me I'll take a shot at posting them for you.

It is very easy to change the size of the images. Here is what I recommend: Go to this site and download IrfanView. It is a free image editing program. One you have it installed, you can use it to change your JPGs around. When you have the image you want opened with IrfanView, go to the Image menu and click Resize/Resample. In the Set New Size area type in the new size. Both the width and height will automatically be sized proportionately. I would recommend a size of 640 x 480 (or 800 x 600 if the file is small enough (more on that later)). Click ok. Now you are ready to save the image. I would recommend choosing a different name than the one for the original image. Click File - Save As. In the Save As Type drop down box choose JPG - JPEG Files. Type in your new file name in the File Name area. At the top, choose a location you can remember in the Save In drop down field. In the Save Options box to the right choose a Save Quality of about 50 or so. This is the JPG compression. The higher the number (best), will mean lower compression but bigger file sizes. The lower the number (lowest) will mean smaller file sizes (more compression) but the image won't look as good. I find 50 to be a decent compression setting. Next, you can make sure you are under the 100kb limit on the forums by finding your newly edited photo and right clicking on it. Choose Properties. In the Size field or Size On Disk field, it should have a reading of 100k or less. Also, if you want better image quality or larger photos, you can start a TBN Photo Gallery in the Photos section of the site. You are allowed images up to 500kb with a max alotted space of 5mb. Hope this helps.

If that still seems a bit complicated you could e-mail them and I will post them for you. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Oh, and the all important question: how much did you pay for it? My local dealer is supposed to get back to me tomorrow with an updated quote. Their original quote for the 4720, R4 tires, dual mid and single rear SCV was $27,306, plus $4,101 for the 400x loader ($31,407 total).

Dealers at some distance from me are quoting $27,903 and $28,131 for the same setup, but then I'd have to deal with shipping -- for quite a distance.
