Glad you are not sponsored, it’s nice to have a real review! When I hook up my grapple I have to shut the tractor off, hold the 3rd function button down and move the loader joystick left and right a few times to release the pressure on the solenoid valve, once the pressure is off I will hit the button a few times to check before getting off the tractor, it actuates quieter when he pressure is off.

[@tomnagle2001]

Love your videos! Something about haying that gets a person in touch with what we’re really all about. The feeling I get from “riding along”with you dealing with hay bales, etc. reminds me of the feeling I used to get when I was a kid and helped my neighbor hay back on the farm in North Dakota in the 1950’s. He had a team of 2 big draft horses that pulled the hay wagon and would let me drive the horses with the reins as he walked along side and threw hay onto the hay wagon with a pitch fork. Keep up the excellent work and good luck with the tractors!

Boy is that a bummer to see! Glad to see some honest review here and not some parking lot demonstration video. Guess I'll run my 5400 series till it dies. I couldn't handle that ride. You bounce worse in that than the smaller chassis series. No excuse for that ride. And I'm a massey fan. I can see that needs some definite improvements though. And side note, my dyna 4 transmission is much simpler than that. Much simpler. Definitely better matched for hay than how many functions that model has. It truly looked overwhelming.

[@alexcoffey5682]

My neighbor has a 5713 and I agree with the suspension, a/c, and the transmission dropping gears in the field when you get to the end of the row or something. The tractor wouldn't pull his new holland 450 silage special baler on decent ground, it would cause the tractor to overheat. I agree with alot of your points.

So the roof leaking, the two hydraulic leaks and the breaks not working aren’t valid concerns on a brand new tractor? Sorry but I’m not buying junk like that.

Check out the 6700S Series they are large frame MidRange and more Apple to Apple Comparison to same as the Deere model you demo. Full Hood versus HiViz Hood. You can get 29GPM Closed Center Hydraulics and no need for combined flow. Also I never seen that Loader/Rear Remote System most have switch in cab that you can change between. I'd go talk to your dealer and try something more comparable. Best thing is build to order exactly what you want and you can save big dollars on AGCO Pre-Sell Program. I think the Short Chassis in your rough fields are not compatible with the 5700S. Did you know you can get the Dyna4 in the new 5700 Global Series which is like your 4700. It's coming end of the year 2019. Love your honest reviews. But there are some settings that could have changed some of your concerns.

Playing devil's advocate, suspension has settings, maybe adjusting it to tune it into what feels good for you , I get the looks part but i like the visability and for me that's more important than the looks, not that looks isn't nothing but it sure has nothing to do with production or performance etc, these tractors these days have some many thing with electronics options, its just so many tuning things you can do it can get to the point that it's more aggravating than just straight to the point basics

I am surprised that the Massey didn’t have an electronic diverter valve for the loader/remotes.

[@tjkadar]

You gave the tractor a go and it wasn't for you. Which is why all tractors aren't the same. My regional guy warned me against the Visio cab. It is hotter. It leaks. The vent placement isn't ideal. Good idea, poor execution. It took me awhile to get used to the transmission. Now that I am, I love it. Oh, the rear remotes are a complete PITA. Give 'em time and they'll leak, won't hold the connection, and the caps are complete ass. The smaller frame gives a rougher ride. Period. Cab suspension won't change that. I like my Massey. It works well for what I do. You don't and I agree with every point you made (except looks, which is purely subjective). Look forward to seeing what you finally decide to get! PS - the way the remotes work is a deal breaker for me. I have 3 sets that are all mechanical. The way that 5712 is plumbed is just stupid.

There is a tractor Dennis you should look at, as I am in the middle of negotiating the purchase of one for delivery in Dec/Jan, that is the DEERE 5125R. It definitely ticks all the boxes for me, and I think it might suit your type of work. The problem I see when you go to around 130 hp, you end up with a bigger clumsy frame of a tractor. The Deere is compact, lots of grunt, great with a loader and is available with an 8 speed power shift. My land is steep and wet so a big tractor is a liability I will be ordering mine with 600 x 34 rears for flotation and to keep the cg down a bit, and 480 x 24 fronts, 3speed pto 540, 540e, and 1000, mechanical cab suspension and sprung front axle, hydraulic and air trailer brakes and a 543R MSL loader with mechanical joystick, with suspension and 3rd service. 3 mechanical spools and 1 electric with 120L/min pump.

Except for a 5465 that we used to have which was always a really good tractor too. I also have a little 1526 I really like. Never tested or drove 5700 series. Sad that it's that screwed up. If that tractor comes out of the famed Beauvais factory in France it is a shame to their name. Dennis, if you don't get the $8k squared away at the dealer I can get you a number of an Agco guy that should be able to help. I have learned that it always works better to deal with huge full line dealers like Binkley and Hurst or MM Weaver.

@@DLHFarms I know I've said it before but I'm going to say it again. You need to deal with Binkley and Hurst in Dayton VA. It looks like they are only two hours or so away from you? They are top notch. While I am making no excuses for the tractor (it was bad and you gave an honest review) the dealer and demo part could have been much different at B&H. If I were you I would go there for all your parts/service you need for your 4710 from here on. They are also the Fendt dealer for all of VA if you ever had interest in that brand. I am in PA and deal with their Lititz PA location. It's 3 hours from me. I have a little Massey dealer in my backyard but I learned the hard way to deal with B&H. Watch this - I bet it's different than your current experience kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3q0c5yJiJuCobc

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks I appreciate the advice and will be contacting them when I need Massey stuff done!

[@jimsullivan9710]

I’m surprised at the MF. I was really hoping to hear good things as the Dyna transmission was interesting to me to try. Not sure what you decided or what you should do. Probably have made decision by now. I’ve had T4 for 5 years now and no issues at all, 2000 hours. Just hate how hard the fuel and oil filter changes are. Do wish had splitter on transmission for more gear options. Kinda thinking about a TS 140 as heavier tractor and deluxe version has the splitter. Freitas have the JD and seem to be having EGR issues you mentioned. Thanks four your great videos.

[@DLHFarms]

I was surprised at how difficult the transmission was to use and understand on this tractor definitely would have to do some serious reading to be able to use it

[@nathanlivengood974]

Thanx for the Vids. Been with your channel for a bit now. Was just wondering if you might want to try the new X-series McCormick. Tried a few different models this year before buying and bought 2. First I've owned but so far I love them.

[@DLHFarms]

Don't know of any dealers for those around here

[@stephensfarms7165]

Dennis, this is not the tractor for you. Too many problems and it’s new. I would hope u got the John Deere tractor 🚜. They cost more, but they are worth the money. Good luck on the tractor u choose. I hope u are enjoying the new tractor 🚜. Thanks for reviewing the tractor. I do like the over voice, explaining what u are doing while watching. Great job on editing the video. Enjoyed watching as always.

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks Ronald!

[@stephensfarms7165]

DLH Farms : I read some of the other comments. Why does it cost $8,000 to demo a tractor with all those problems. I assume it was a new one. Someone said get a lawyer, that’s is what I would to, lawyer. Just thinking 🤔 RS

[@DLHFarms]

Already got a lawyer. They are trying to say I bought the tractor which is totally bogus. Nothing was signed never even got a proper quote on it.

[@stephensfarms7165]

DLH Farms : that’s great u got a lawyer. I’ll be praying that the Lord will take care of it for u. God bless you sir. 🙏

[@DLHFarms]

Thank you! God is good and I'm not worried.

[@mattgood3453]

For what you are doing you should look at a bigger frame size tractor with a six cylinder. Those smaller frame 4 cylinder tractors don't hold up. I know the bigger ones cost more but you get what you pay for.

[@DLHFarms]

Can't afford those bigguns

[@scotabot7826]

Yea Dennis, that cab suspension looks to be way to soft. I bet you could get sea sick in that thing. Well, at least we now know the red tractor is out of the equation, and the green tractor is back to the top of the list!!

[@DLHFarms]

Yep that one is out of the equation anyway

[@sevillianc]

How’s the braking with your 4710? That’s crazy the issues..the ride and the loader issue is enough not to get it..let alone the rest.

[@DLHFarms]

It's better than this tractor

[@Mtnfarmer]

Good to see an honest review. Like you I don't care what color it is I want what suits me and a good dealer. Tractors are a big investment and it is good to take the time to check them out before you sign on the line.

[@DLHFarms]

Yep exactly!

[@deanbrown4512]

I really like rotary rakes. They make a fluffy window for air to get through the hay. Do you still trade with Nance Equipment in Mcconnels? Sorry that Massey didn't rate well. You do a great job of checking equipment out and make good decisions

[@DLHFarms]

No I never did do any trades with them they are about 3 hours away I went and looked at a used tractor there and my local dealer threatened to stop doing business with me over that if I didn't buy it though them at a much increased price

[@deanbrown4512]

@@DLHFarms I like Nance but too far for you and if you have a good dealer, that is what is best

[@LifeWithChase]

wow didn't expect this one to be so bad since you've had such good luck out of the 4710

[@DLHFarms]

Trust me I didn't either 😔

[@kountrytiger1999]

Wow i couldn't believe how much you were being bounched around i don't blame you a bit like i have said i am a massey guy but nah nah all you found wrong with it thats crazy I have been looking at Case from what little i have heard sound good good luck Dennis God Bless.

[@DLHFarms]

Yeah I was bad! Good luck with the case!

[@yvonnejohnson1557]

You could make milk shakes in that cab.tks gary

[@DLHFarms]

Yeah it was pretty bad

[@ABMFARM]

Dennis great video , I hope you didn't sign anything and get you lawyer to give them a call. I bet it would cost less in the long run and you would have a lot more satisfaction, and they would think twice about shafting the next customer with an 8 grand demo. PS i commented last night in the wrong place forgive me. By the way was this the dealer in Rocky Mount Va that you praised so well in past videos? if so Shame on them.......bet you drive an extra 100 miles next time just to avoid them after this....

[@DLHFarms]

Yes it was them and no I didn't sign anything. If I had I would be riding a new Massey Ferguson. This isn't the first time they have put me in an uncomfortable position and I should of learned last time, but me and my dad are done dealing with them for good now.

[@saltrockredneck1155]

I would give kubota a try, we’ve only used kubota, it’s a very solid tractor

[@DLHFarms]

No thanks. No dealer support here

[@danielshort3410]

Now the real question is: which would you rather have? The T4 or this Massey. Also I didn't realize how bad the T5 was.

[@DLHFarms]

If rather have the T4 I believe

[@countrywideag-steve275]

the leaking roof would have been enough for me without the rest of it sounds like the Massey's have gone downhill is it worth demoing the equivalent in Case before you make a decision

[@DLHFarms]

I'm done with CNH also

[@garyhoward3123]

New video from Georgia about a new MF older farmer bought that he was wanting his money back under the lemon law. Agco can't get it fixed like it should be for what the machine cost. PTO turns off about 40 times in an 8 hr work day. Imagine paying for a tractor doing that. Search KZbin for the video. Worth the time.

[@frugalhayfarmer8112]

Keep us updated on what ya get and why. Thanks

[@DLHFarms]

Video of the new tractor is up now

[@shawnfox8002]

All the things with this new Massey. Seems like a big inconvenience can't operate the loader cause of things hooked up in receivers behind you that right there made the deal go south in a red hot second.

[@DLHFarms]

Yeah I didnt realize all that till I tried it

[@smccourt66]

What is the model and name of the drone you use in your videos ?

[@DLHFarms]

It's a Mavic 2 pro

[@Whiskey_Sierra_Modding]

Watching flop around in that cab gave me a headache! I couldn’t imagine spending all day in that. It’ll be interesting to see what you ended up with.

[@DLHFarms]

Yeah it was pretty bad

[@WilliamBolger]

At 6:28, did you mention you have a concealed weapon? Would you need it in a hay field,? Very interesting videos, I thought these Massey Fergusons were a good looking tractor but now I'm having second thoughts 👍

[@DLHFarms]

Yes I conceal carry, it doesn’t matter where you go if your a carrier it goes unless prohibited by law of course. Just because I’m in a hay field doesn’t mean I don’t go to stores, restaurants and other places during my day. Also I don’t hope to ever “need” it. As far as Massey goes I have a 4710 that I love it’s a good tractor.

[@WilliamBolger]

@@DLHFarms interesting, we here in Ireland have different laws so Im not used to people carrying weapons. Have a good old reliable shotgun for the farm of course, licenced for controlling "vermin". Thankfully only needed it for the smaller rodents. I noticed your 4710 in rock picking video, nice looking machine. we have the old 390t and still going strong after 23 years of work

[@jeremyjmurphy]

Sorry you had all the issues with this, but it’s a good think you figured it out before you bought it.

[@DLHFarms]

Ain't that the truth!

[@hillvalleypedigrees2255]

Looks like a win for the John Deere, that 6130r looked so basic that's an m series over here in Ireland

[@Joey-ve7ku]

Aye have to give it to deere in the 6 series

[@DLHFarms]

Yep I didn't buy that tractor either

[@chalemi]

In all fairness, you were always seated crossways for whatever reason. would sitting straight in the seat have helped?

[@DLHFarms]

Crossways? You can’t sit in the seat crossways. The seat does turn about a 1/4 of a turn to the right so you can see the implement better. Most all bigger tractors do this and it does not affect the seat suspension.

[@betsypearl8038]

Have you tried out the orange paint at all though I do like green

[@DLHFarms]

Just my father in laws 7060 not a fan.

[@fiveoaksfarmofgeorgia7605]

That's really disappointing Dennis. Knowing that you and I both already own a 4710, and pretty much share the same opinion on that model adds value to your opinion. I'll still check one out mainly because my Deere sales dept and New Holland sales department both suck, but now I'll be looking harder at the Massey for defects. It honestly sounds to me like you had a turd of a dealer service department and they probably set that 5700 up badly when they got it in. Seems like the "improvements" they made on the 5600 series were bad. Also sounds like you had the auto mode on the transmission turned on. With everything wrong with that particular tractor though, and the incompetence of the dealer, I wouldn't have bought it either.

[@DLHFarms]

Yeah I was extremely surprised and disappointed. The transmission wasn't in auto mode I checked several times.

[@bjenkins803]

Man I'm halfway in this video and off that bat could tell you were not happy. I was concerned about how it would ride because it looked to be lighter? Kinda hard to push all those buttons when bouncing all around the cab lol. I bet the engineers assumed controllers would use the shuttle shift deal instead of the brakes? Anyway that was a disappointment.

[@DLHFarms]

Yep I was not a happy camper I really thought this was going to be the one

[@edwardfast4525]

Can't believe how the front of the tractor moves and the cab stays still

[@DLHFarms]

Actually it's an illusion the cab is moving and the rest of the tractor is still

[@Badgermatt-nc5nr]

You big tease!!!! LOL Wow i was expecting so much more from the Massey. The ride looked horrific, even before you said anything, I was thinking you looked like a pc of popcorn inside a popper! lol HURRY UP and post the video with the new tractor already.. :D

Haha I'll get it up as soon as I get these other videos I made done. I got another demo to show too

What were Shannon’s thoughts on the John Deere?

She liked it other than shifting ranges but she just wasn't used to it
