Hi Guys,
I am intending to buy a 2940 but I am having some trouble identifying by the dealer listings what is what. All seem to be made in Mannheim and they show the gearshift is in the floorboard (or deck)which is how most would refer to it, but then again in my searches I have found 2 that have the dash configuration and deck which are made like my 4240 and 4430 and all these 2940s had MFWD. How can I identify by the spec sheets which machine is being sold ? Most of the pics aren't very good about showing the shifter arrangement. 30 years ago I'm not too sure it would have mattered to me but now my feet are getting tangled and I don't want anything that I might catch on getting off the tractor. I read somewhere a while back that 2940's were made in both Mannheim and Dubuque. I know that no matter what I choose that I will be able to use but I prefer not to have to struggle with the gear shifts. Does anybody know ???
