He is asking a little more for the 4000 which is no surprise. I plan on just raking straw in the summer and corn fodder in the fall with it. Now my question is. Should I go for the 3020 which is just fine for the job and a little cheaper or the 4000 which will have more power yet cost more money. Thoughts on this? I've seen and ran them in person. 8 hours on the tach of both since professional restoration. I only have money for 1 of them, so sorry can't do both. [Reply]   [No Email]

They only made approx 428 diesel powershifts. If it can be bought right, go for it. They are a good tractor, and will pull as good or even better than a 4020. 1000 lbs lighter, but same horsepower. No comparison between it and a 3020. On the other hand, the 3020 will be better on fuel, especially on light work. [Reply]  [No Email]
