Massey Ferguson 4700: series, engines and configurations
Massey Ferguson 4700 is a mid-range series of versatile tractors designed for farms, livestock and municipal work. We look at what sets these series variants apart, their tech specs and what to check when buying a used tractor.
MF 4700 in brief
The MF 4700 is a compact-mid-size tractor series introduced in 2019. It's suited to tasks that don't require massive power: haymaking, livestock farms, lawn and garden maintenance, municipal work with a front loader or mower.
These tractors are praised for their simple design, cab visibility and ease of maintenance. Most come with a reverse gear, rear and front PTOs, and the option to mount a front loader.
Which version to choose
The series consists of several models that differ in power, and some also in equipment. For those working with a front loader, the reverse gear and sufficient hydraulic power are crucial; for fields and transport, a simpler model often suffices.
There aren't many used tractors from this series on the market yet, as it's fairly new. They are usually sold by farms or municipal companies, so it's worth finding out what kind of work they were used for and how many hours they've clocked up.
Engines and transmission
Tractors in this series typically run on AGCO Power diesel engines that meet EU emission standards (Stage V). Power ranges roughly from 70 to 110 hp, but exact figures should be checked on the specific model's data sheet.
Transmission is usually manual, with synchronizers and reverse. Hydraulics are for both front loader and rear hitch attachments; the rear power take-off (PTO) shaft has multiple speed settings.
What to check when buying a used MF 4700
First, ask to see the hour meter and compare it with service records. Check for oil leaks around the engine, transmission, and hydraulic hoses.
If the tractor has worked with a loader, inspect the front axle and loader mounting points — cracks or wear marks indicate heavy use. Check that the reverse, hitch, and brakes are working.
Also, test the PTO, hydraulic quick couplers, and cabin equipment (heating, air conditioning, lights). Evaluate worn tires and uneven tire pressures separately, as replacing them is a significant expense.
Configurations
Specific names and equipment vary by market, model, and year; we list the most common configurations.
