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

Strengths eHydro, eHydro nothing compares to eHydro given cruiseControl and speedMatch, you will love it when you need speed independent PTO speed. +jdparts.com

Weaknesses some weak seals, but it does not worth to mention

Overall I am very sat, and would buy it again and again

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.

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.
