Generally pretty good, like any old deere that starts with a 4 :eek: If you're looking for a powershift, I would go with a later 50 series or a 55 if you can afford one, UNLESS it's been through the shop and had the updated C1/C2 shafts installed. They have a tendency to break on the early 15 speeds.

We just bought a 4650 this year and the only things that we had to fix were the steering assist cylinders and the front u-joint. The cylinder bushings on the wheels sides were wore out and the cylinders were pushing on the bracket. Just check out the play at the ends. that is if its a MFWD?
