Price Paid : $36,500.00
Years of Use : 2-Years
Implements : 6 foot cutter, grappler front end bucket
Purchased From : Quality Equipment, Lafayette, LA
Strengths This tractor can do it all. For it's size, it is very potent. Can do alot of work. I have a grappler bucket on mine, and after Hurricane Gus (I live in Louisiana), I did 2 months of work in 2 weekends. Also 6 foot cutter does a great jog. Starts right up and never misses a beat. This is a fantastic tractor, Best thing I ever bought.
Weaknesses Nothing but praise for this tractor.
Overall Overall an excellent, dependable tractor, capable of quite a wide variety of work.

Review By : stevehull on 3/27/2009
Price Paid : $36,000.00
Years of Use : 180-Days
Implements : 400CX loader
Purchased From : P&K Equipment, Edmond, OK
Strengths Almost too powerful. An awesome tractor that makes tough jobs easier. The summer AC is a BLESSING and the cabin air filter eliminates almost all dust. But the cabin filter must be cleaned often. I did get my own aftermarket stereo, but had Deere put it in for free. I got 60 month 0% financing which is like several K$ in my pocket and the post sale service has been superb (free 200 hour).
Weaknesses A bit tippy and a couple of dealer fixed problems (front bearing seals), hydraulic line popped, but the machine came back cleaner than when it went in. The local dealer (P&K, Edmond, OK) has been superb.
Overall I looked at many tractor "colors", but the value of "green" (performance, cost, features, finacing, dealer service) could not be beat. I am a former New Holland person and they need to step up.
Bottom line - test out the 4720. Called a compact, but nothing like that in terms of performance.

Purchased From : Stans
Strengths This is the 1 4720 i have owned but certinley not the first john deere i have a 4710 and a 4600 with a backhoe and if it was up to me i would have bought the 4720 from the beging the cab and all features of this tractor just blow my mind everytime i start it up from the glowplugs to the air ride seat what will they come up with yet it just keeps pulling a way from all my other tractors
Weaknesses Nothing the best tractor yet
Overall From the bucket to the mower the tractor can take anything that you can throw at it from mud up to the rims or pulling anyhting out of the mud to moving anyting that you need it is the best tractor anyone could own BUY IT!!!!!

Years of Use : New Owner (0-1 Year)
Implements : forks, bale spear, 72in rotary mower, post hole digger, 400cx loader
Purchased From : mclean implement
Strengths I traded my 4410 on this machine and only regret that I didn't do it sooner! I really like the lift capacity on the loader. For such a small tractor, it has alot of power. The eydro is a definite plus too.
Weaknesses Owning this tractor 6months, I have yet to discover a weakness. A step on the right side of the tractor would be nice tho.
Overall overall,I have and wouls recommend this tractor to the small acreage owners or landscapers. Perfect size with lots of power

Review By : MW Orphan on 08/24/2006
Price Paid : $36,500.00
Years of Use : 1-2 Years Use
Implements : JD 4720 W/Cab, I-Match, 400cx Loader, 3 Point Snow Blower
Purchased From : Forks Equipment
Strengths LOADMATCH! John Deere hit the ball completely out of the park when they added this feature to this series. It is proof positive that Deere's engineers truley understand the term "CUT." You can still putts around the yard with traditional utility maneuverability or you can go elsewhere and dig into some real work. No need to be left wanting for two machines ... one for heavy, clumsy work and the other for tip-toeing around the tulip bed. This large frame Loadmatch tractor has both bases covered. It's two tractors in one!
Weaknesses It would be nice to have a larger tire range to take advantage of some of that excess torque on the higher HP models, say 20" R1 fronts and 30" R1 rears.
Overall Definitely a keeper. I'll add fluid eventually to the tires, but other than that you can't call it "compact" if it gets much bigger.

Price Paid : $39,500.00
Years of Use : New Owner (0-1 Year)
Implements : Loader,mowers,post hole digger,box blade, top & tilt
Purchased From : Fernbridge Tractor
Strengths Smooth,great power, lots of room (Im 6:3)very quite ( I have cab model) at full power you can talk on cell phone or listen to the radio or cd's without any problem. Air conditioning and heater are great, no dust or anything els gets in cab. I added 400lbs to back wheels so I dont have to worry about loader tip.
Weaknesses Cost - but I would buy it again. At this time I just can not think of any down sides, I have only had this one for a month, but so far I can not keep my hands off of it..
Overall This is my 4th John Deere, I had smaller models, should have just spent the money and got the big one first, would have been a lot less costly. The cost above is for a 4730 deluxe air ride cab, R4 tires, a top and tilt with electric diverter, 400lbs wheel wts,tool box,front fenders, rear work lights,self leveling loader with heavy duty bucket.
