JOHN DEERE 4700 ENGINE

The John Deere 4700 features a Yanmar 2.2L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing robust torque and fuel efficiency, which is advantageous for various agricultural applications. However, its relatively compact engine size may limit power for heavy-duty tasks compared to larger models. Overall, it's ideal for small to medium-sized farms where maneuverability and efficient fuel consumption are priorities.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The John Deere 4700 features a 12-speed partially synchronized power shuttle transmission, offering smoother gear transitions and enhanced control for varying field conditions, which is beneficial for tasks requiring frequent direction changes. Alternatively, the 24-speed partially synchronized power shuttle provides greater torque flexibility and efficiency, suitable for intricate operations like tilling or grading. However, the complexity of both transmission systems may require more maintenance and operator training to optimize performance in demanding agricultural tasks.

TRANSMISSION 1

The John Deere 4700 features a partially synchronized power shuttle transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, enhancing versatility and operational efficiency for various tasks. The wet disc clutch system, consisting of two packs with three 5-inch discs each, provides smooth power transfer and reduces wear during frequent directional shifts. However, shifting between ranges requires the tractor to be stationary, which may limit operational fluidity in dynamic work scenarios.

Transmission Power Reverser
Type partially synchronized power shuttle
Gears 12 forward and reverse
Clutch wet disc, two clutch packs with three 5-inch discs each
Oil capacity 27.2qts / 25.7L
Description Four speeds (1-4) in three ranges (A-C) with left-hand reverser on dash. Power shuttle allows direction changes without using the clutch. Speeds are synchronized and may be shifting on the move, using the clutch. Tractor must be stopped to shift ranges

TRANSMISSION 2

The John Deere 4700 features a hydrostatic transmission with infinite forward and reverse gears, offering seamless power management ideal for various tasks such as agricultural operations or landscaping. Key advantages include precise speed control through foot pedals and convenience with push-button cruise control; however, operators must pause to shift ranges, which could impede efficiency during continuous work. Its oil capacity of 35.2 quarts ensures adequate lubrication and cooling, vital for maintaining performance during extensive use.

TRANSMISSION 3

The John Deere 4700 features a partially synchronized power shuttle transmission with 24 forward and reverse gears, providing versatility in various agricultural tasks. The wet disc clutch system, consisting of two packs with three 5-inch discs each, enhances durability and smooth engagement, although shifting into creeper range requires the tractor to be stopped and the clutch engaged, which may slow down workflow. With an oil capacity of 27.2 quarts (25.7 liters), maintaining proper lubrication is crucial for optimal performance and longevity, especially during extended operations.

MECHANICAL

The John Deere 4700 features a robust 4x4 MFWD system, providing excellent traction in diverse terrains but may require more maintenance due to increased complexity. With a mechanical differential lock, it enhances off-road capability, though engaging and disengaging requires operator attention. The combination of 12-speed partially synchronized and 24-speed partially synchronized power shuttle transmissions offers flexibility in operational speeds, making it ideal for both heavy-duty and precise field work, though learning the transmission nuances may pose a challenge for new operators.
