JD 4020

I paid 5250 about 5 years ago for a gas 4020, diesel 4020 were going for several thousand more, more for side console.

There were three versions of the 4020 family, breaks at serial numbers 91,000, and 201,000. The tractors after 201,000 generally bring a higher price and many parts don't interchange with the earlier 4020.

I've run my 4020 for a few years and become more intimate with some of its parts that I've ever wished. Its a good piece of machinery, but it can be broken and can wear out. Parts are readily available and its capable of a good day's work. It is not the most economical on fuel, especially the gas tractors, but that reputation cuts their selling price far more than my expected fuel consumption over at least 14 years of use. Gas consumption can be moderated by care in tune up making sure its not running rich from worn carburetor parts and air intake restrictions as well as making sure the ignition parts are good with proper timing.

Its easy to add a loader hydraulics without loosing the remote(s).
