We laid down our two silage bags last weekend. 7' x 150'. Put the 4440 on the chopper this year (3940 Deere chopper) that is a lot better fit than the 4020....but the other side of that brain storm was the 4020 on the bagger.....it didnt go so well, in fact I called a neighbor to get a 4430 after the first load and a half....
The 4020 seemed to have enough motor, ponies were not the problem....but the PTO couldnt seem to get it to the bagger, it would apparently slip, you could hear it and visually see the shaft slow down when feeding the silage in.
This tractor had a new clutch maybe 10 years ago, and the only pto work it has done is run a feed grinder since to speak of.
Any ideas? Seems like a good excuse to add another 4440 to the mix to me.....lol
