PowerStar 75 cab

[Indian Territory]

Did my first work with the new machine today. It’s my first cab tractor and an absolute dream. Here’s the picture I hoped to find on the web when I was shopping for mine. Maybe it’ll help someone make their own decision. Picture shows only right-hand controls because there are no left-hand controls on the PS’s. They used to have PTOe at the left hand, but the dealer tells me that is not offered as an option on the new models. Paintbrush cost extra.

Looks really nice. As it heats up here, I'm getting more and more impatient for my cabbed tractor to arrive.

What is the paintbrush for?

Oh I’m just being obsessive lol. My last tractor got so dirty, I’m determined to keep the grit and grime out of the crevices of this one. At these prices, it needs to last a very long time. A paintbrush makes a pretty good duster.

What kind of tractor did you get? When does it get here?

I ordered a Massey Ferguson 4707 back in November. They said it would be a few months, but I didn't expect it to take this long.

I'll probably start out super crazy on keeping it clean too.

Man those are so nice. That was the strongest competitor to my Powerstar. I might have gotten one if I could have found one. They’re good and heavy.

I was told the wait on New Hollands that weren’t on the lot was 10 months, which is wild.

 

[EddieWalker]

I was told it could be as soon as 2 months, but it might be as long as 6 months. I'm at 6 months now, which is making me nervous. New Holland was at the top of my list, but that red paint really caught my eye.

Yeah 4700s are good looking for sure.

I have the same unit. They are awesome! I replaced all the cab lights with Larson LED, and used a Bluetooth amp to replace the stock stereo and put in new speakers .

 

[Indian Territory]

How big a job is the led swap? Did you swap headlights, or just work lights?

Congrats, you’re going to really appreciate that cab. Over the years I’ve owned many cab tractors and the Ford/New Holland’s have been the nicest ergonomically correct controls layout of any.

 

[Skoalstar]

Just the work lights. They come with adapters and everything so they are plug and play. I would say it would be 2-3 hour job but when I was doing it I was also doing the radio, installing strobe lights , a small inverter etc

 

[Skoalstar]

This is where the radio used to be. I need to make a backer plate to clean it up, but it’s just an amp with a Bluetooth connection now

Here are the LED work lights . They make night work amazing . Front and back were done

Well, it's been a year. What is your 1 year review? The only tractor I have ever had is my NH TN-65 that has served me well for 20 years, but it does not have a front end loader or a cab. I am pretty close to pulling the trigger on a Powerstar 75 and would appreciate your advice

 

[Indian Territory]

Hey Towaliga. Yeah I'd definitely recommend it. It's been rock solid all year. Roared to life immediately this spring following a cold winter when I was supposed to start it periodically but didn't. Just today I bought a bigger bedder and transplanter and we will be turning over acres all summer in preparation for garlic and bulb planting this fall. I'm even considering digging an irrigation pond later this summer. This is my first cab tractor and it's so much more comfortable than anything I've had before. I'd say buy one. What kind of work will you be doing?

Bush hogging, disc harrowing food plots, establishing new plots in clearcuts, fixing rutted roads, spreading gravel, moving fallen trees are the main things. Getting 3rd function and root grapple as well.

I am a big fan of the Powerstar New Hollands. Congratulations! Extremely well featured for the price point.

 

[Towaliga]

Took delivery today. Very happy so far. The operational experience is significantly more comfortable than in my ROPS tractor. Can't wait to get back at it tomorrow morning

 

[Indian Territory]

Looks great man! The cab is very automotive-like. Just the suspended petals are a luxury in my book. And all the controls being on the right hand make a big difference after a long day. Congrats!
