I have been looking for an older John Deere tractor that I can play with on weekends. I have been trying to find a 4020 but have not found any in my budget. I did find a 4010, with a loader it appears to be in good condition. Is this tractor suitable for a loader and what other things should I look out for? Also is it worth the 10k price tag?

I have a JD4010 D with loader. If it has original hyd cylinders on the loader they might be weak, I had to replace mine, $$$, but now picks up 5 x 5 round bales no problem. Also I use mine for all disc mowing for hay and nothing bogs it down at all, heavy grass or uphill. That old diesel really pulls. However, it is warm weather only machine, it does not like to start in winter at all. It is our second tractor, I couldn"t trust it to be our #1 for 300acre cattle farm, ours is a 1961!

Kimbro, NO not IMO. A 4010 is a 80hp tractor and at 10K that is tooooo much. you can find other tractors that will do a much better job that a 4010. First a 4010 has the same light a$$ front end as a 4020. Unless it has been swapped out for a heavier one from a 30 series tractor then there is your weak link to look at or expect problems later. especially if you plan on doing a ton of loader work. UNLESS you are just bent on a 4020. There are others in the 20 series that are seriously overlooked ie 4520 or 4620 slightly higher HP with a sureenough heavier front axle for loader work. If you locate one with a PS tranny all the more better.
go up one series ....a 4230 will fill your bill quite nicely.
My cousin traded for one 2 summers ago gave $9500 for necked tractor with front suitcase wts.and 2 rear wt on each rear corner. Then had a paint job put on it....added a koyker loader and delivered here from over 400 miles, all for $15000K
Hope this helps. there are better bargains out there. If I was tradeing for a 4010 and it was in the 10K area,..... it better have a newer front end and be overhauled and turboed too. That just me.
Later,
John A.

Well price is the area and what the traffic will bear. I bought a 4010D a couple years ago for 7K, Two different JD dealers have made good offers for it. (Not good enough). Around northern MN that would be high even with a loader.

We had a Farmhand F-11 loader on our 4010D. With the bucket, it was great. With the bale grapple, we broke each front spindle off over a period of time, but welded gussets from axle to spindles and never had any more problems. Great tractors!

Well, it sure looks as if prices on 4010s are up, although you did say it had a loader. The original wfe on one of those things is expensive, but it's possibly not up to really heavy loader usage. They sometimes have a tendency to break. Also, that's still a 42-45 year old tractor. If it's an antique you want, and you want a capable antique, they are pretty good tractors.
