Read articles →This is a long-term ownership update, not a walkaround: an owner with almost 900 hours on his L4701 HST talks through real farm use (moving logs, hay, compost, backhoe/loader earthwork), actual wear issues (throttle sticking, popped tires, worn paint), and add-ons like a light bar, quick hitch, and Land Pride third function valve. No pricing or spec walkthrough. Best for prospective or current L4701 owners wanting candid long-haul reliability feedback.
Posted by an owner-operator running this tractor daily on his own small farm, sharing personal impressions rather than a dealer or professional review.
The owner says it has been absolutely tremendous and functioned better than any equipment he has owned, rating it a ten out of ten with no real complaints after almost 900 hours.
The throttle has gotten stuck occasionally, causing the tractor to cut out, and the front tires have popped off the rims a couple times requiring inner tube replacement.
The owner added a light bar on the roll bar, a Land Pride third function valve for a log grapple, and a quick hitch.
Yes, the owner uses it for moving hay, logs, and compost, and for earthwork with a BH92 backhoe and front-end loader, saying he could not do this work without it.
