| We have a '91 7140 mfd that we bought a couple years ago as a "mowing" tractor. WE have also owned other Magnum tractors in the past, icluding 7120s, 7220, & a 7240 mfd. Our 7240 ws a "horse" as is the 7140. Other than weight, it will hang right in there with our MX 275, maybe even have a little more hp. Cab isn't as roomy or quiet as the MXs but much quieter & roomier than the JD 4640 it replaced and way more power than the 46.
As for turning, we us to cultivate with our 7240 using a 12x30" cultivator and could turn back in on the next set of rows on 24 end rows and just tapping the brakes. Other than for rowcrop work we always set our front wheels so they split the middles of the rear duals when set for 30" rows, which is about 44" on the fronts. Then to do rowcrop work we just switched the front tires side to side to get to 30"
The 7140 is the 5th Magnum we have owned. Never have had tranny problems with any of them. Had to replace a couple sleeves on the 7240 but CIH warrantied the repairs | |
