JCM 9,928 #1 Posted February 1 This 4700 belongs to a former customer of mine. Tried to buy it 20 years ago but he wanted to keep it to bring it to Vermont at his second home to have it for his retirement years, don't blame him. It's original owner, maintained by the dealer and always garaged for the most part. Used for mowing 50 acres and snow removal. Tractor Data shows it as built 2 years 2000-2001 48 HP, seems like a short production run ? I have heard that the info through TD is not always correct, anyone confirm ? Really nice clean tractor. @oliver2-44 @sergeant @Achto 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've read and seen multiple print and videos that TD has inaccuracies. However... the folks there will make changes when requested and proven to be correct. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sergeant 304 #5 Posted February 1 The 4700 was replaced By the 4710; both tractors were Only made for about 2 years. The 4700 was Deere's Major step into Large frame compact utility's that were produced in House. Prior to the 4700, Most Deere Large Frame compact Utilities were Built at the Joint Deere/Yanmar Plant In Japan The 655, 755, 855, 955 were Deere's 1st compact Utilities Made In House while the 50 & 70 IE 650/670 through 1050/1070 were the Joint Plant in Japan still 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But certain Brands have more of the Inaccuracies on the site then others. That usually can be with some of the Smaller Brands. But even some of the Larger Brands Have issues; Cub Cadet is a Prime example. They Have the Cub Quiet line as being made until 1980, when it actually left Production By IH in Summer 1979. But a dealer could have still sold remaining stock in 1980, But it was a 1979 model. Not a 1980 Model . With Deere I will say Pete(owner of TD) is Pretty Good 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

6wheeler 660 #10 Posted February 6 Sergeant is correct. Though the 4700 series was a short lived production. Deere was trying to in house build a series of mid compact and sub compact tractors to fit the hobby farmer/ small fruit/gardener producer niche. Not bad tractors for what they were. But, buyers tended to over-use them. John Deere took into consideration the problems they had and used that to create the newer series tractors. And, marketed them in the prospective series classes for use capacities. Just like they did with the 50 and 55 series subs. Those series tractors are what brought on the r series newer tractors. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
