Any of you following Goodworks channel on Youtube might have seen his 4720 unicorn video earlier this week.
Where he is showing off 1 of 2 4720's that he got in, that both had a mid PTO with belly mowers on them.
I am sure most of you might have know that as of the past several years, there never was the mid pto feature for the 4 series it had been limited to the 3R and not available on 4R machines.
Turns out JD used to offer an optional mid PTO on the 4 Series in the prior generation.
I never knew such a machine existed till this week that is.
Which is why he titled his video "Found a unicorn". He hadn't ever seen one either.
I had actually wished JD had made a 4r with mid pto and belly mower, I would not have had much reason for keeping my 3039R around.
Well long story short, the one seen in the video was already sold, he mentioned a 2nd one on the way, I bought the other one last night.
With this discovery hopefully it will allow me some more flexibility to make a couple other tractor changes down the road.
Giving me the option to still have 2, 4 series machine being this new to me 4720 and my 4066R will solve that,
I think this will allow me the flexibility to down grade my other current 4044R possibly back down to a much smaller more compact machine like a 1025R, which that could turn out to where I can also get a belly mower for the 1025R and cut one of the X7s loose as well.
Possibly maybe someday down the road bit further, I might trade my current 4066R on up to my dream tractor which is decked out 5R with a suspension cab and front end, not sure on the 5R plan, but the downsizing the 4044R to a 1025R will likely happen sooner then later.
I traded in my 3039R for the 4720.
The whole 5R dream machine idea aside, since that may never happen, I believe in the end I will have reduced my overal equipment investment dollars significantly and improved my overall capability in my machines by adding this new mid pto 4 series discovery .
Here is a few pics of the one I purchased.
Cant wait to see it in person.
