Hey all,
From what I've read searching the archives on here, the 4030 wasn't really a bad tractor, it was just considered underpowered as compared to a 4020. But some old literature I have shows it replaced the 3020, not the 4020. I figure it got a bad image because people asked too much of it and abused it.
Grandpa had one with SG cab and synchro. I never thought of it as a poochy tractor because his other two tractors were a 3010D and a 3020D and all of his equipment matched those tractors. I didn't care too much for the synchro in a SG cab, though, only because dad has a 4430 with quad range, not because it was a bad transmission.
If someone had one and expected to use it as an 80 hp tractor and not a 95-100 hp tractor, is it an acceptable unit? I'm looking for a planting, cultivating, raking, bopping around the farm tractor. No heavy tillage and no heavy wagon pulling.
