York, Ontario | We have two 4840's. Good cheap reliable horsepower. However if you plan to use it quite a bit then buying one without knowing the hours etc. is a big risk. One of the 4840's we bought had over 10,000 hrs on it and it starting having transmission issues shortly after buying it. It cost us $30,000 in repairs even though very few gears were replaced...mostly discs in the power shift clutch packs and brake discs...they had the surface let go... presumably because there had been water in the transmission. So in the end the cheapest tractor can become the most expensive tractor. We love our 4840's but my advice is buy one around the 6000 - 7000 hr range, coming from a good home. | |
