"I bought this tractor new with all accessories I could get. It's been a very good machine overall. The hydraulics are slower than I like and the air conditioning filter is way too small. It clogs up with dust in 20 minutes if working in dusty conditions, which means the air conditioning quits working until you stop and clean it. When setting the parking brake, it sometimes jams, leaving you locked up. The only way to fix it is craw under and pry it loose, which is not an easy task. Other than that, it is a great product. It runs all day on less than a tank of fuel, and with 4-wheel drive will go anywhere. There is plenty of power. It is very dependable and starts every time, even in cold weather. It's much better quality than the Kubota I've owned before. I would buy it again."
"I bought this tractor to upgrade from my John Deere 755. It is way more than I needed, but when has that stopped most of us. It has a cab and the 400CX loader. The e-hydro transmission is great; mine has the power match option that controls the rpm based on load and power needs. I highly recommend this option. It came with 0 rear hydraulic sets, so I shelled out the money and bought both rear kits, so now I have three. I don't like the lack of modulation with the electric over hydraulic controls, but there is no other option with the cab. The 400CX loader is stout, but will only lift 1,500-2,000 lbs before the rear of the tractor is off the ground. It is rated at 3,500 lbs, so rear counter weights are needed to lift that much. "
"Great machine!"
"Excellent tractor for everyday small farm use. It's perfect for a garden that would range from 2 to 5 acres. It does very well mowing 15 acres of pasture and general everyday use. This is the first cab tractor I've owned and I'm not sure why I didn't buy one sooner."
"Overall I am very satisfied with the 4720, however, we have had a few problems which have all been fixed under warranty. The service was great! The vertical casting on the left front axle had a casting flaw and was leaking oil. The casting was replaced. One bucket cylinder developed an internal leak shortly after the one year warranty expired. John Deere did replace the cylinder under warranty. The water pump started leaking antifreeze, the pump was removed and resealed. This tractor is stored in a heated garage. The cab is a must in this country. Our previous tractor was an open station John Deere 4600 and we enjoy the cab and additional horse power. I am happy with the tractor and service from John Deere."
"This tractor is good on fuel economy. Has plenty of power. But lacks in hydraulic pump capacity. JD attachments like the front end loader are not made as strong as the old machines were. I have had to change the front wheel bearings and seals. "
"This 4720 cab tractor was an upgrade to a 3038E model. Primarily used for brush hogging with an MX6 rotary cutter. Tractor has done everything I'd hoped for and more. The cool clean air eliminates the sinus headaches I used to get after mowing on the 3038E. The heavier and bigger 4720 can really manage the MX6 cutter better than the little 3038E and feels much more stable and safe to operate. I've had no problems except the ERR 73 which I'm sure is a bad ground connection that I've haven't traced down yet. Hopefully 25 years as an electrical engineer will come in handy!"
"I bought this tractor with following accessories cab with air ride seat radio front end. Loader the 400 cx with bucket and forks. Cab is great air is a must lots of glass so you can see out great but sun will kill ya with out the air. CX loader is wonderful keeping bucket or forks level while raise or lowering. Good power and front wheel assist it keeps moving ahead in mud & snow. We have owned many JD tractors in the last 45 years but this is the most fun and universal tractor we ever had. At the time, it was a bit hard to justify the cost but after having it, I would do it again. I have to put in cons to be fair: one is cost, other is fuel economy not very good. The rest is A plus in my books."
"Using for food plot planting of approx 15 acres. And for firewood logging. Am extremely pleased with power and reliability so far. "
"Bought this tractor 7/20/2011 with a 485 backhoe and the 400cx loader on it. I have used both ends of this tractor and the tractor it's self has performed great. I had a little bit of problems with the O-rings on the 485 backhoe. The o-rings on the spanner nuts on 2 of the hydraulic rams went out and of course you cannot just buy the O-rings them selves so you have to purchase the entire rebuild kit for the rams @ 50.00ea. It was covered under the warranty so it cost me nothing to repair and I did the repairs myself to save time. The spool valve for the loader went south on me also and I replaced it with a new spool valve supplied by John Deere under warranty. Bought this tractor with the cab and it is great having that cab. :0)"
