90 hp engine · 77 PTO−14% to the shaft

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.

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

  • 77 hp at the PTO rated at 2,000 rpm rather than at rated speed, which is where a baler or a mower conditioner actually runs
  • 4,850 lb of lift 24 inches behind the ball ends, more than double what Massey's largest compact manages
  • The 3.3 L AGCO Power three-cylinder with intercooled turbo and high-pressure common rail is AGCO's own engine, so parts and service do not depend on an outside supplier
  • 12x12 two-range power shuttle with an electro-hydraulic shuttle lever standard, and a Dyna-2 24x24 with Speedmatching and brake-to-neutral available
  • 17.2 gpm of pump flow, and the same hydraulic system as the whole 4700 range
  • Air-conditioned cab optional, which nothing in the cheaper 2600 H utility range offers

What they complain about

  • The platform figure buys a folding-ROPS machine; AGCO's price book puts the same 4WD 4709 in the Deluxe Cab at $74,756, a $14,552 step for weather protection alone
  • Massey publishes no weight and no fuel tank capacity for individual 4700 models, so two of the figures a buyer would compare are simply absent
  • The MF931X loader lifts 3,420 lb at the pivot pins but only 2,140 lb at 31.5 inches forward, and it is a $5,370 option that first needs the $3,518 loader-provision package fitted at the factory
  • Hitch capacity and hydraulic flow are identical to the 70 hp 4707 and the 99 hp 4710, so only engine power separates the three
  • A three-cylinder at 90 hp is working hard, and it is a narrower power band than the four-cylinder rivals at this size
  • Massey states no emissions tier on the 4700 page, unusual at this horsepower where aftertreatment is a real running cost

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.

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.

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.
