Which trans does 4030 have (SR or QR). I had a 4030 with SR trans when I 1st started custom rd baling. I much prefer the QR trans with twice as many speeds. Perma-clutch on JD tractors is very good as my 4255 with same type clutch has 11,600+ hrs on original clutch & it's operated a rd baler starting/stopping over 100,000 times not to mention the many 100's of acres this clutch has been used to pull a plow.
If 686 operator station & controls are anywhere close to same design as a 986 I'd choose 4030 for sure. Yrs back I drove my friends 986 for 4 hrs & disconnected it & attached 24 ft field cult to my JD 4255 to complete plowing. Every yr after initial yr I plowed for my friend I used my 4255.
I was unaware JD 329 CID engine had a bad history of engine cylinder liner failure due to cavitation. 329 CID diesel engine utilizes same part # for cylinder liner used in 153 different JD engines.
I think poor coolant maintenance is the major cause for liner cavitation.

Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
