Looks like a nice 4120. Have you been using the Jensen radio? I put one on my 3720 last fall but didn't get a chance to use it much before I took it off to put the cab on. I had purchased the kit to mount the speakers to the ROPS so the speakers had to come off to attach the cab.

I was curious if you were satisfied with the reception you get. I attached the short antenna (there is a longer version option) about 3 inches from the mid portion of the ROPS and I was thinking that was the problem. Most of the time the reception is just fine but if I turn the tractor I lose a station for just a few seconds. I was thinking of moving the antenna to the top of the ROPS to see if that made a difference.

My antenna is right next to the rear work lights. I can get just about any station that I need to that is in the area and never had any problem with reception. Each one is crystal clear. It seems to do fine even if I'm down in hollers. I am pretty satisfied with it, and it gets plenty loud enough over the engine noise.

Nice tractor! I like the front fenders and rear extensions.

dconine can you leave the front fenders on when taking the loader off and on? Think I read somewhere that you need to remove the fenders first.

Nice machine! Just a small tip here - check the battery box for corrosion.

 

[dconine]

Thanks guys! The front fenders can be left on to remove & install the loader it is just a tight fit. No worries, the John Deere battery has already been switched out so no problems there. Read somewhere there were some problems with venting if I remember correctly. The fenders work great on keeping mud off of the tractor & plus they look great! How do you like the hood ornament? Got it off a tractor where a guy wrecked his hood from a larger ag tractor but cannot remember the model. Amazing how much power this machine has.

Very nice "tricked-out" package! You'll love the 4120. I think you'll be amazed at what all the tractor will be able to do for you. It has a great engine, sips fuel, maneuverable in tight quarters, simple to maintain, and will retain excellent resale value. I bought a new 4320 w/ 400X in 2005 and traded it in this winter for my 5083E Ltd. Trade in value was 90% of what I paid new! Congrats...

I used my new 4120 ehydro with 400x for the first time this morning for about 3 hours doing loader work mucking stalls and moved some round bales.
Verdict is it's stinking awesome. I went into tighter spaces and places than I couldn't get close to in my 2355. This thing is outstanding. Congrats on your tractor, very comfortable and capable machine.
