We've used a 40T wide front since the mid '80s and it has been a handy, reliable tractor. I need to overhaul the 3 point now (moved too many round bales with it) but it is the only tractor in the herd that I can always rely on to start up and go on a moments notice.

Way better than a "M" but less handy than a 420/430/435 with power steering, live pto and a 5 speed transmission.

Denny,

Your place sounds like my place - I need a bush hog to keep the mold from growing too high and a scraper blade to clean out the old newspapers, etc.

Juuuuu st kidding - LOL.

I have a JD 40 S and use it for cultivating and some bush hogging. Does ok, but does not have live power. Mine steers hard, but the weight of the bush hog helps. It is a 4 foot unit, and the 40 has enough power for it. I also use a 4 foot tiller with it, and that loads it pretty good. I am told the weak part of the 40 is the pto gearing. The 40 S is narrow and higher than a utility and therefore not as stable.
