Valtra G Series

On 28 August 2020 Valtra introduced the G Series as its first fifth-generation series and said series production had begun. The announcement lists G105, G115, G125 STD/ECO and G135; the announcement date does not determine production dates of each machine.

Fendt dates a 516 on its new Marktoberdorf production line to September 2012. The fourth-generation 500 Vario Gen4 was announced on 26 August 2025, with first deliveries planned from spring 2026. This does not confirm delivery of a particular machine.

Massey Ferguson 4700

In January 2015 the manufacturer announced the first UK showing of the MF 4700 and planned sales of the full range for late 2015. In November 2015 it introduced three new cab models. Announcements do not establish production or delivery dates of individual machines.

Choosing a tractor

Start with your heaviest implement, terrain, soil, clearance and required productivity. Check its PTO, hitch, hydraulic and weight requirements against the tractor. Ask the dealer to confirm the configuration and demonstrate the machine.

Engine and PTO power

Engine and power take-off ratings are measured at different points and are not interchangeable. Match powered equipment to its manufacturer's PTO requirements, and compare like measurement standards.

Transmission and drive

Manual transmissions offer fixed gears; hydrostatic drive is useful for frequent speed and direction changes; continuously variable transmissions change ratio smoothly. Four-wheel drive may help traction but does not replace appropriate tyres and ballast.

Buying used

Check documents, serial number, service history and hours. Inspect tyres, leaks, guards and mounting points; request a cold start and demonstration of the transmission, hydraulics and PTO. Check parts availability and repair costs.

Implements

Ploughs and tillers prepare soil; mowers cut vegetation; loaders move material; spreaders apply material. Check hitch category and capacity, PTO speed and power, hydraulic connections, weight and ballast with the equipment manufacturer.

Service and manuals

Check fluids, tyres, leaks, fasteners and guards regularly. Intervals and materials vary by model: use the operator's manual for the exact serial number and market. Stop the engine and equipment before inspection.

Kubota BX23S, US example

Kubota lists 21.6 hp gross engine power, 17.7 hp PTO power, 898 cm³ displacement and 56.1 Nm maximum torque. Its 2026 brochure lists tractor weight as 1,598 lb. Check measurement conditions and configuration in the source.

John Deere 1025R documents

John Deere publishes parts and maintenance guides for serial numbers through HJ100000 and from HJ100001. These do not replace the operator's manual. Check the exact serial number and instructions for your machine.

Model history and generations

Check the year by serial number with the manufacturer and find documentation for that exact generation. Kubota BX23S appears in its US brochures for 2021 and 2026; that does not establish the first or final year of production. A complete generation history is not yet available.
