| We bought a 2wd 6403 in 2003 brand new to be our main little tractor for grinding feed and mowing hay and pulling a plow in the spring we bought it to replace a john deere 2840 which had 27,000 hours and had never had any motor or rear end problem ever, my grandpa bought it brand new in 1979 and has been the best tractor we have ever owned and we will never get rid of it. It was a very simple tractor and was very stout, but with it only having 9 gear u where always going a little to fast or going to slow. The way u shift them the main gear A B C are not to be shifted on the move u must stop and that was a pain in the a#@ you always wanted to go for B 3 to C 1 if u would try to shift B to C u would gear grind the hell out of it. We also had transmission trouble with it and had to but a new shifting fork in it and a new clutch when it only had 2200 hours. We put 3500 hours on it and had enough and traded it on an 8300. Over all it wasn't that bad it was reliable but after we bought it and put 200 hours on it we where kicking our self's in the butt for not buying a 6420 with the power quad . It was also the best day of the year driving that thing to the dealer and bring home our 8300 don't miss it one second. Just my two cents | |
