ENGINE OIL

The John Deere 4710 has an oil capacity of 5.1 quarts (4.8 liters), which is relatively modest for a compact tractor, allowing for easier maintenance and quicker oil changes. However, users should ensure they use the appropriate oil type to maintain optimal engine performance, as insufficient lubrication can lead to increased wear and tear. Regular monitoring of oil levels is essential, especially during heavy-duty operations, to prevent potential engine damage.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The John Deere 4710 features a 12-speed power shuttle hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless direction changes and precise speed control, ideal for tasks requiring frequent shifting, such as loader operations or tilling. The hydrostatic system reduces operator fatigue and offers excellent maneuverability; however, it may have slightly lower efficiency compared to mechanical transmissions over long distances. Ensure sufficient hydraulic flow to maximize implement performance, particularly in high-demand applications.

TRANSMISSION 1

The John Deere 4710 tractor features a PowrReverser transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, enhancing operational flexibility. A key advantage is the ability to shift gears while moving, which improves productivity; however, range changes necessitate a complete stop and clutch engagement, potentially reducing efficiency in dynamic tasks. The dual operation method allows for versatile application scenarios, particularly in loader work or field operations where quick directional changes are beneficial.

Transmission PowrReverser
Type power shuttle
Gears 12 forward and reverse
Oil capacity 38.8qts / 36.7L
Description The Power Reverser is operated with a range shift lever, gear shift lever, and reverser lever. The tractor must be stopped, and clutch used, to change ranges. Gear shifts may be made while in motion using the clutch. A clutchless power shift can be made between forward and reverse using the reverser lever

TRANSMISSION 2

The John Deere 4710 features an eHydro transmission, providing an infinite range of forward and reverse speeds, allowing for precise speed adjustments suited for various tasks. With an oil capacity of 36.8 quarts, regular maintenance is essential to ensure optimal hydraulic operation and longevity of the system. However, the requirement of stopping the tractor to change ranges may limit operational efficiency during tasks that require frequent speed adjustments or directional changes.

Type hydrostatic
Gears infinite forward and reverse
Oil capacity 36.8qts / 34.8L
Description The eHydro is operated via a three-position range shift lever plus forward and reverse pedals. The tractor must be stopped to change range
