70 hp engine · 60 PTO−14% to the shaft

AGCO Power's own four-cylinder and a 12x12 power shuttle put this in genuine farm-tractor territory, with 4,850 lb at the hitch. The 4700 is Massey's Global Series, built to a simpler specification for buyers who want no electronics between them and the work.

On the price: The maker's own published starting figure for the base build. A dealer adds a loader, a deck and freight on top.

Lift figures are the maker's and are quoted at whichever point the maker chose; the about page explains why two loaders with the same number do not lift the same pallet.

From owner discussion and long-term write-ups

What owners say

What they like

  • 4,850 lb three-point lift at 24 inches handles round balers, big rotary cutters, and 3-bale spears that would overwhelm most tractors under 75 HP
  • No DEF tank - the 3.3L AGCO Power engine meets Tier 4 with just a DOC, one less fluid and one less failure point than DEF-equipped rivals
  • The 12x12 power shuttle makes loader work genuinely pleasant - direction changes with a flick of the left-hand lever, no clutching
  • At 7,478+ lbs it's a legitimately heavy utility tractor that stays planted with the 931X loader lifting 3,420 lbs at the pins
  • 17.2 GPM hydraulic flow runs hay equipment and hydraulic-hungry implements without starving
  • Simple Global Series platform (built for worldwide markets) means fewer electronics to fail than a comparable premium Deere 5R
  • Owners consistently report it undercuts a comparably equipped John Deere 5075E/5090E package by a healthy margin

What they complain about

  • No hydrostatic option - if you want an HST at this horsepower, you're shopping Deere 4066R or Kubota instead
  • The 3-cylinder is coarse compared to the smooth 4-cylinder FPT in a Farmall 75C - it's a tractor engine, not a refined one
  • AGCO's dealer network has consolidated hard in some regions, so check parts support near you before buying
  • Open-station model has a basic flat platform and seat - comfort features are thin until you pay up for the cab
  • Resale is respectable but still trails the equivalent green tractor at auction
  • At nearly 7,500 lbs bare it's too much tractor for small properties - this is a real farm machine, not an estate tractor
  • The emissions system brings sensors and fault codes that a pre-Tier-4 tractor never had, and clearing them is a dealer job

Gathered from owner reports

What owners report

Buyers who shop the whole 70 to 75 horsepower utility class report the brands landing within about ten percent of each other on price, which means the 4707 tends to get chosen on dealer proximity, financing terms and loader quality rather than on any single spec. Owners who bought one generally stand by that reasoning, with the sharpest criticism coming from people who also run larger machines and judge its cab and shuttle against them.

What comes up favourably

  • One buyer who priced the 70 to 75 horsepower models from Kubota, Kioti, New Holland, Case, LS, TYM, Mahindra and Deere found everything except Deere and Kioti within about ten percent on price, and took the Massey on dealer proximity, the best financing at the time, a transmission he could dial in to his liking, and the best loader in the group.
  • One buyer working through his top four at this horsepower rated it the most tractor per dollar in the class, and ruled it out for himself only because the nearest dealer was too far away.
  • There is real headroom in the engine. A dealer quoted one buyer about $2,000 to turn it up to 90 horsepower, and a separate owner describes tuning past 90 as a normal thing to do once the warranty has run out.
  • The one owner who bought a new one describes it as very heavy for its size, which in this class is what he was shopping for rather than a drawback.

What comes up as a complaint

  • Owners who also run bigger machines rate it down. One with a New Holland T5.120 in the same yard calls the 4707's power shuttle acceptable but well short of the ElectroCommand he is used to, and is blunt that the cab is poor by comparison.
  • When something significant fails it is a dealer job, not a driveway repair. One owner's internal hydraulic pump failed and his takeaway was that a modern machine in this class puts you on the phone to the dealer in a way an older straight-mechanical tractor would not.
  • The documentation is thin where a new owner needs it most. An owner two years in reports that the manuals for both the tractor and his rotary cutter said almost nothing about how to adjust things for best results, that the videos he found contradicted each other, and that he worked it out by trial and error.

Questions worth asking

Can the MF 4707 handle round bale work for a cattle operation?
This is its home turf. The 4,850 lb 3-point lift swings round balers and 3-bale carriers that overwhelm most tractors under 75 HP, the 931X loader lifts 3,420 lbs at the pins for spearing bales, and at 7,478+ lbs the tractor stays planted doing it. The one owner who comments on its weight calls it very heavy for its size, which is exactly what the job asks for.
Does the 4707 need DEF?
No - the 3.3L AGCO Power engine meets Tier 4 with just a diesel oxidation catalyst, so there is no DEF tank to fill and one less system to fail. The buyer who priced the whole class singles this out when explaining his choice: among 70 HP utility tractors it is a genuine differentiator, since many rivals in this power range carry DEF or heavier aftertreatment.
Can the 4707 be turned up, and should it be?
It is a common enough request that dealers quote it - one buyer was offered a chip up to 90 horsepower for about $2,000. Owners who discuss it treat tuning as something to do after the warranty expires rather than on a new machine, for the obvious reason that a warranty claim on a modified engine is a difficult conversation. No owner writing about it describes long-term results from a tuned one, so treat the 90 horsepower figure as the dealer's claim rather than a proven outcome.
How does the 12x12 power shuttle work for loader duty?
On paper it is one of the tractor's best features: direction changes happen with a flick of the left-hand lever, no clutching, so the scoop-reverse-dump rhythm stays smooth all day. The caveat comes from owners who have run better ones - a man with a New Holland T5.120 in the same yard calls the Massey's shuttle fine for the work but not close to an ElectroCommand. There is no hydrostatic option at all, so buyers set on an HST at this horsepower are shopping elsewhere.
Is the 4707 too much tractor for a small property?
Almost certainly. At nearly 7,500 lbs bare, it is a real farm machine that will compact ground and feel enormous doing estate chores - if your work is mowing and light loader jobs, a 40-50 HP compact utility costs less and fits better. The 4707 earns its keep when there is hay to bale and cattle to feed daily.

Summarised from public owner discussion, not from testing. Nothing here was measured by this site, and a report that recurs is not the same as a defect rate.

A big step over the 4707 and not a larger engine: 77 hp at the PTO against 60, from the same 3.3-litre AGCO Power three-cylinder turned up rather than a larger engine. Hitch capacity of 4,850 lb is shared across the series, so the whole difference is power.

Simpsons-built 2.6L three-cylinder with no DPF, an 8x8 synchro shuttle and 64 PTO hp: a deliberately plain utility tractor aimed at people who would rather fix it than diagnose it. The 2,755 lb hitch figure is quoted 24 inches behind, so it is an honest one.

Largest tractor Massey puts in the 4700 Global range and the top of what this catalog covers: 99 rated hp and 87 at the PTO from a 3.3-litre three-cylinder. Rated max power is 100 hp, so the whole range spans 70 to 100 hp on one chassis, one hitch and one hydraulic system.
