    Wow! What a bunch of issues. If the dealer tries to charge you $XX.XX for your use. Say OK. Here is my bill for repairing the hydraulic lines and make it double the dealers bill.(g)

      They done more than that they said I already bought it and charged me 8000 buck to "return the tractor". I never signed anything and they never told me the price of the tractor only estimated payments and they never checked my credit! They never even made a quote or contract to look at.

      Is that the same dealer you got your 4710 from? Hard to believe a buying customer would be treated the way they just tried to hose you. Without a signature they have nothing.

    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.

    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!

They have been selling Massey Ferguson, White, Hesston, AGCO and have now added Fendt.

    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.

    Wow, I have a number of Massey tractors, I really like them. Your field is rough, show us you bouncing around in the Ford!

    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.

    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. I will let you know if it goes ahead. I guess at the end of the day it's down to what deal can be struck with the dealer.

    Noticed the cab was moving but was there some kind of button to make the suspension active ?? Granted its a short wheelbase tractor so they all ride ruff . Kinda a suprise that they never came out and got you goin on it and the leaks should be something they could have pulled in fixed the right way under warrant. Agco really only has one good mid size tractor line and its from the Fendt line .

    Well I guess I'll have to eat crow because I'm about as diehard Massey as it gets. We have had REALLY good luck with Massey with many tractors and thousands of hours but we have always been in the 7000 and 8000 series. 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. I can tell you the deal at the dealership would have gone a lot better even if the tractor was a lemon.

    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!

    Since you like the MF 4710 have you considered the 6700 series??. Same cab and features jus more weight and frame which is what your after... granted don't have all the fancy buttons and gadgets, but my experience leads to problems later down the road..... I think the 5712s your demo is definitely a lemon...

      I thought about that tractor but after this one me and my dealer are done they tried to screw me over.

    Demo a Kubota M6-131 if you can. I did before I purchased my Challenger. It’s a really nice machine!

      The Kubota dealer isn't very good here
