I'm looking for a used (1980 to 1995) JD 40-60 hp tractor for medium duty farm work-- mowing, snow plowing, loading (no tillage). I've been lurking on lots of JD sites, trying to figure out what the best, most reliable models are -- and it's hard because there are so many. Are there any models I should be especially looking for, and are there any models I should especially avoid? What are the strong and weak points of particular models? Are there any sites I can view that offer such information? Many thanks for your time and advice-- Gene Gulland, Aldie, VA.

Gene ---J.D.2240 three cylinder Diesel 50 H.P,2440 4cylinder Diesel 60 H.P,my favorite is the 2630 0r 2640 4 cyl.Diesel 70 H.P.,then there is the 2355 @55 H.P.,2555 @65 H.P.,2755 @ 75 H.P.all Diesel,the 2355 & 2755 are physicaly the same size bigger fuel pump and injectors,the first series I stated can be bought around 8-10K,them others are higher. I had a Ford 6600 70 hp good tractor,but they aren't in class with J.D. the gear spacing on the Ford is terrible,moving roll bales with the Ford low side was to slow and high side was to fast.I got on a '71 J.D.4000 (94 hp) I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I run a disc mower with this 4000 and pull 605-F roller. You said you were going to do some mowing,them disc mowers require weight and H.P. so be sure to think about this when you go to purchase,you see I'm leaning toward the 70 HP. Later Gman P.S I wouldn't trade my JD 4000 for two Ford 6600 if I had to keep them.

I agree. I've got a JD 2640. It's a good all around tractor. I pull a 435 JD baler, a nine ft disc mower with it. Mine has a loader, too. It handles a 15ft rotory cutter, too with no problems. JD seems to have really good resale, too.

I love those disc mowers, don't you? I ran a 14 Ft. Hesston swather for a guy for 6 years then he got a new disc mower and I fell in love with it. There is just no comparison.
