Oh Boy, It's Here, It's Here, It's Here!!

Oh Boy, It\'s Here, It\'s Here, It\'s Here!!

Well, my new 4710 came today. Shipped over from JD Equipment without a problem. Very nice, and I got an added bonus. When the delivery guy was starting it up on the trailer, he pushed in the key like it had the cold-weather package. I told him I didn't think it had it, and he looks at me and says, "oh yes it does." Bonus. Took it for a drive, pushed a tree out of a lane, and kicked the tires. And if it weren't below 10 degrees and snowing, I might have stayed on it all afternoon. Can't wait for it to warm up a little to put it to really good use.

So the basics of the machine are:
4710 with eHydro, 460 FEL, and MX6 cutter. Got lots of bits and pieces I won't bore you with.

I hope the picture attachment works. First time.

So I hope I can now contribute a little, rather than take, take, take.

Congrats on your new tractor. I have it's twin little brother, the 4610. The more you use it, the more you'll love it.

By the way.... The push in the key thing, they all come with that. I've never used that feature, since I live in OK.

Boiler74,

Congrats on the tractor, good color choice /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think I have BillyP little brother (4510) so they must all be related /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Have fun riding it and be safe.

Really sweet looking machine, your photo turned out great. It took me over 340 posts before I finally got a picture of my JD on TBN, so you are WAAAYYYY ahead of me. You mention the "cold weather package", if you refer to the intake air heater, I think that is a standard on all 4000-Ten series, not an option.

Enjoy the new ride.

That's a Beautiful piece of machinery. I can't think of anything better to take your mind off the PU loss to IU. The week started out bad...but now looks pretty good with that sitting in the barn!!!

Congrats Boiler /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Very nice looking, Buying from JD EQ. I think you saved some green when buying green.

Is that some reinforceing on top of that bucket or is it the camera angle?

Good luck with it. PeterT

Thanks all. Feel like I joined a brotherhood.

Peter, must be the camera angle. That picture was taken less than an hour after delivery, so everything you see is straight from JD.

Sassafras, I gave up on Purdue basketball a few years back. Got sick of the same ole' thing year after year. It's heresy around here, but I'm ready for a new coach. I'm the football kind anyhow.

And thanks all for pointing out my mistake with the cold weather gear. Right now, it's certainly needed.

That new JD is HUGE, looked at your profile and could not see how much property you are going to use it on. Fill us in on your intentions for your new machine.... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
