Massey Ferguson 4707 was a Top Contender! Why I didn’t

[@flyingtofarming2137]

Well Ben, if not a Massey I just keep saying “don’t be green, don’t be green”. You’re a smart man and I know you will get what best suits your needs for your operation and a dealer that provides good service.

[@khtractors]

I hope I don’t disappoint you but it’s possible. I got a deal I couldn’t hardly pass on. More to come. Maybe late Saturday or Sunday. Thanks for watching

[@350moose]

Your M6060 videos were what steered me to Kubota. Ended up with a M7060 and our farming has expanded greatly in size because of how versatile and reliable it’s been. It just flat out works day in and day out from tillage to planting to haying and feeding cattle all winter. Looking forward to seeing how your new machine works for you, thank you for all the great content.

[@khtractors]

I’ll never say a bad word about a Kubota M series tractor. I kinda feel stupid at times for trading. I hope the new one does good. Still waiting on it. Thanks

My guess is John Deere 5075e. I have a 24 model premium cab and absolutely love it. I am the same as you I researched a lot. Dealer support and their customer service were top notch for me and made the decision easy. James River Equipment ordered the tractor and loader, salesman stayed in touch with me letting me know what was going on every step of the process.keep up the videos Ben I enjoy watching!

[@jamescoleman7764]

I bought a ‘23 5075e with a standard cab, factory 3rd function, and skid steer QC loader. I absolutely love the thing. No regen/ no DPF was the main decision maker. They are fantastic tractors

I have a mf 4707 with FL3522 loader i love the tractor the string can be adjusted if you ride on a tractor all day like i do you will appreciate the ride a 4707 has when i bot it i looked at them all massy ferguson was my best choice

I don't blame you for having concerns with all you mentioned when it comes to the MF 4707, all good reasons. I hope your choice works out as good as your Kubota did. Good luck with all of it. I hope you have a great day!

Thank you so much! I hope it does well also.

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

I’m liking what I’m seeing in LS tractors. Not fond of the color , but I think you get a lot of value for the money. I think that Kubota is going to have to step back and analyze their share of the market.

[@khtractors]

The off brand tractors are really making a strong push. If Deere and Kubota don’t start making some changes they may eventually regret it. Thanks for watching

If there is a Case IH dealer close, that is the brand I would also choose. But you have to have local dealer support if needed.

[@RobertBrothersJr-dc7nr]

Ben, Massey Ferguson is a great tractor but when you get treated like you did by the sales man I don’t blame you for shying away. I f that’s how the dealership operates when they have an opportunity for a sale I can’t imagine how they would be for you if you needed service support. I’m glad you decided not to go with that dealership, nothing against the tractor brand. I still think you went with a John Deere I just don’t have a guess as to what model. I’m excited to hear exactly what you went with. Enjoyable video Ben. Thanks

[@ethanhenley9347]

Dealer support is the big thing for me. We have 3 kubota dealers within reasonable traveling distance and 2 are small family owned dealerships which is getting harder to find. I had a chance to run a new massey a few years ago with some people l was haying with. What l remember most about it was the rattling clattering engine, light built loader and odd placed controls. I've been partial to Oliver, White and the 40 series deere's in the past. Bought my first M series kubota in 2016 and two others since. I don't see myself changing brands anytime soon.

[@khtractors]

@@ethanhenley9347 the M series is a great tractor. Sure hope I don’t regret it.

Young man that kubota has done a tremendous amount of work for you for sure over the years fine machine.

Nothing like getting all your subscribers wondering and waiting! You did a lot of interesting stuff with the Kubota, road building being one of them. Not sure I could part with mine. "Definately not TYM" lol! Same here. Please get the bloody thing home and end the suspense. What a cliffhanger!

[@khtractors]

How you think I feel 😂? Wanting to at least set and look at it if nothing else and they said today they’d know tomorrow evening if the loader would arrive Thursday. So my thinking if not Thursday then when. I hate waiting. Hopefully soon!!

[@PScons]

Nice video, Ben! I've been really impressed with the Yanmar tractors. I have an older early 80's one and that thing is a dream to run and work on. Imported from Japan. You just can't help but smile the whole time you're operating it. I think actually as a fact that Yanmar diesels are rated overall the best diesels made. And the older ones just sound wicked. Will run forever and a day nonstop. I hope you find the tractor you're looking for. Kubota makes a superb tractor. So does Massey. Have you looked at Branson tractors? Also a superb tractor.

[@khtractors]

No Branson, I’m staying with something that has a good dealer network in our area . Thanks for watching

We have a 393. I can’t say enough good about that tractor. It’s pulled a new holland 1411 discbine with ease. Baled for many many years. It’s been put to work and it does not give up. Feels like so much power for what it has

[@jwmfarms]

Ben, based on the yellow paint behind you, where you were most likely repainting the wheel weights, I'm going to say you bought another Deere!

[@khtractors]

Thanks for watching!!

[@GenAfterNextTactics]

That’s a good guess. I’ll have to go back in his last video to see if there was yellow paint on the ground. If not then that might be it.

[@davidbonnet9614]

I would say that you’re probably right. I’d say JD 5075e, especially since Ben mentioned the “no regen” part.

[@geraldosteen2357]

Creature comforts (LOL) . MF 2600 series a little to short for me . Bumped my knees….agree the MF 4707 is a dream almost bought but it was a bigger tractor than 5e series from JD I needed when I started. Still have my 50 hp utility tractor from 2007. Love it so I know how you feel about dependability. Take care and keep sending the vids.

[@khtractors]

Thank you so much!!

[@simpleman4196]

I was one of the people who guessed a Massey Ferguson. I have really been looking hard at them myself. My other guess was a case. I still might guess a Farmall

[@khtractors]

Thanks for following along!

[@FabbedFun]

I think I would agree with you about being a little too big to feel nimble in the woods... but we both know a heavier tractor does the hard work a little easier... It's a two-edged sword I guess. I didn't really think it would be the 4707 but I had hoped haha. Green paint is expensive. Case and New Holland feel like the same tractors these days... lots of commonality under the Fiat ownership. The 2607H is bare bones. I think, if I put a lot more hours on mine, I would want a hydraulic shuttle instead of the mechanical.

[@khtractors]

Hopefully I’ll have a reveal late Saturday or early Sunday. Probably still won’t have the loader until the following week or week after. Thanks for watching

The Massey would have made you a good tractor but I don't blame you one bit for shying away due to poor dealer support. That salesman clearly wasn't hungry enough to worry about a sale and my attitude when spending my money is that I'm not going to beg people to take my money. My local Massey dealer has a great crew at the parts counter and they really deliver excellent customer service. Same thing with my Sany dealer. I have to drive over an hour but from sales to service they are spot on. The sales and service managers both gave me their cell phone numbers in case I have an after hours situation that might require prompt attention. I'm still holding my cold Mountain Dew wager on a Mahindra

I have a 2019 4707. It’s nice in ways but is underpowered. Won’t hardly run a 5x5 baler efficiently and us guiltless in road gears. The 931x isn’t near as strong as the hydraulics. I’ve already bent and replaced the quick attach plate once. I’m in Russell county my next new one will be a Deere simply because they have the best dealers.

[@khtractors]

That’s good information! This was a concern I had. Seems like a lot of tractor for only 70hp. I’m still waiting on the new one, Thanksgiving week slowed everything down. But I’m hopeful to get it by next week at the latest.

[@RandySleeth]

I think you made a wise decision staying away from the 931x loader, I’ve seen the arms break within the first few hundred hours, too much tractor for them!

[@samuelscragg7052]

I don’t know anything about your area. You stated that you felt like the 4707 didn’t have very good support from dealers or manufacturer. I own a 2010 Massey and I live in a fair size metro area and several Massey dealers. However, here’s what I can tell the AGCO dealership I dealt with has given me good service. However, the parts for my tractor are very expensive. And I don’t feel like the tractor it self is producing the horse power it’s rated at. I’m pretty sure that if a can fine a good deal on another tractor with cab and loader I’ll be trading. One thing that bothers me is all the newer tractors being manufactured over seas. If at all possible I won’t be purchasing another tractor manufactured over seas and that cuts down my search field very narrow. I can say without any doubt that the only over seas machine that I’ve purchased that I really am satisfied with is my Kubota rotary rake. We have extremely good Kubota dealership in our area and Kubota has a very impressive parts systems in our country. I need a part for the rake due to some self inflicted damage and I had the parts the next morning and parts clerk told what time it would be there and it was there. I talked to this parts clerk for information about Kubotas parts system and he gave me a very good explanation. Basically if I was wanting to build this rake they had every part for that rake in this country and he showed me on his computer system how many of each part was in each wear house across the country and pretty much 24 hour delivery of parts. To me that’s extremely impressive and my next tractor purchase my be a Kubota if not it will be a very top contender.

[@khtractors]

Can’t go wrong with a Kubota. I’m really scared going away but I’m also wanting to try something different. Thanks for watching

[@philbootsma6669]

With assembly in Georgia a Kubota may be the closest thing to "not being manufactured overseas". They seem to be well supported here in NW IA, and the skid loaders are taking over a HUGE percentage of market share. I have an SSV65 and am happy with it after 2 years.
