What the 4710 is used for
The 4710 is designed to cover broad-acre row-crop fields while providing high clearance and a compact enough package for farm roads and field entrances. Its 800-gallon tank and 80- or 90-foot booms suit operators stepping up from tractor-pulled equipment.
Owners still value it as a straightforward early Deere self-propelled platform with a familiar 6.8L engine and hydraulic drive. It is best suited to farms that can accept the age of its cab, controls, and electronics in exchange for a lower-complexity machine.
Why the John Deere 4710 stands out
The 4710 was notable for bringing Deere's independent-strut, high-clearance chassis into the mainstream large-acre sprayer market. Its 800-gallon tank, 200-hp engine, and durable steel boom options gave it useful field capacity for its era, and clean examples retain interest because the mechanical platform is well understood.
Buying a used John Deere 4710
Inspect boom center sections, fold hinges, breakaways, and wet-boom plumbing for cracks, corrosion, and repairs. Test the product pump, agitation, valves, rate controller, hydraulic tread adjustment, wheel motors, struts, and steering; inspect tyre condition and verify engine hours. Confirm all cab displays and controller functions work, because older electronic components and wiring condition can materially affect value.
