Seven seasons with the 1470 and yeah, it mostly does what it should. The cutting header at 5 meters is just right for me, doesn’t feel too wide or narrow. Had a bit of trouble with some broken parts, but to be fair, that was kinda human error, not a machine flaw. Wish JD had put better mounts on some spots, though-those brackets get loose if you don’t keep an eye out. The computer does more than I use, mostly ignored it, but all the key things like RPMs and temps are plain to read. If you care about upgrades and tech, it’s kinda basic, but at least it doesn’t break down much. Cab could use a better seat, my back feels it at the end of the day. All in, not bad, just keep an eye on your hardware and you’ll be fine.

So I got some time with the S770 at the dealer lot last week. First off, cab feels a lot nicer than what I'm used to, that new seat and layout, it's way less crammed and everything in there makes sense. All the switches and multi-handle right where I want 'em, except the throttle setup could be better, not a fan of the three-step deal. Still, the overall comfort's up a notch and you can feel that right away.

As for the wiring, John Deere really stepped up. Way better routing compared to some Case machines I’ve run, and less headache chasing shorts. The rest of it is just kinda typical updates-better cab entrance, clean grain elevator is the old style but that’s whatever for me. I do notice a lot of belts around the rear and not in love with that for long-term maintenance, but nothing shocking. All in all, solid improvements but there’s still room for little tweaks here and there.

Used the JD 1470 extensively. It delivers solid control and operation; the handling is intuitive and responsive, which is crucial for precise tasks. Maintenance wasn’t too demanding, though some parts could be more accessible. Pricing is decent for the performance it offers. Overall, a robust piece of machinery.

Ran JD 4730 for a couple seasons now, mainly spraying wheat and sunflower. It’s got some really cool navigation and the section control helps a lot with overlap, you really don’t waste as much. Plus it moves fast, 30 km/h spraying isn’t a gimmick, I’ve done it when weather turned on us and had to hurry. Good machine for working in wet or rough fields too, stabilizes the boom even when you hit ruts. Only thing you gotta watch for is the sprayer tip setup - your spread can suffer if you just go with whatever, took me a bit to find nozzles that worked when it got windy. Overall, not bad, but nothing is perfect, sometimes wish it was a bit easier to adjust the tech settings on the go.

So, about the John Deere 1470: I’ve operated it quite a bit over the seasons. It’s dependable, but you notice areas for improvement over time, such as the need for frequent component checks and replacements like sieves and chains. The grain tank size seems small for extensive use, but its efficiency balances out. Overall, a good piece for certain scales of work but might lack scalability for larger demands.

Had a chance to work with the John Deere 1470. It's straightforward to operate, especially with its clear controls. While it doesn't break down often, parts maintenance can be time-consuming. Overall, a well-rounded machine for medium-scale fields.

Well, I’ve spent quite some time working with the John Deere 1470, and here’s my take. The harvester is functional and generally reliable, even after several years in rough conditions. The capacity of the grain tank and overall productivity might feel limiting if handling larger fields. Maintenance isn’t too intense, but some aspects like worn bearings and cylinder issues require periodic attention. While it’s not the most feature-packed, it delivers solid performance for what it’s designed to handle.

This model definitely performs well in large-scale applications. Its ability to spray at up to 30 km/h without compromising precision is a major plus. However, adapting settings to the specific environment is necessary to achieve the best results. The digital task map integration simplifies operational planning quite a lot. Overall a dependable machine, though maintenance of the sprayers could enhance long-term functionality.

Just got a chance to work with the John Deere 4730 sprayer recently. The 30-meter boom width was really useful for my larger fields, cutting down on passes required. The cabin was spacious, but I found it lacked proper sound insulation, which became a bit tiring during long hours in the seats. The hydraulic systems operated smoothly, though one could notice a slight lag during transitions. Overall, it got the job done efficiently.

Having experience with the John Deere 4830 sprayer, I found its technology to effectively assist in field operations. The controls responded well, and its reliability under variable conditions stood out. On the downside, some small adjustments were needed during initial runs to optimize performance, which is not unusual. Overall, it serves as a competent tool when maintained properly.
