Buying Advice I need to replace my JD2240 tractor

[jeff9366]

thanks, the m7040 is right hp and old enough to fit my budget. I am hesitant to step up to tier 4. seems like more hassle for no gain.

Tier IV emission controls are unquestionably more complex than pre-Tier IV emission controls but they are not valueless. Tier IV tractors have a horsepower increase averaging about 10% from predecessor models and the exhaust is odor, soot and smoke free. These are gains. Each will evaluate these gains according to their individual circumstances.

(I disliked the exhaust soot that accumulated on the FEL of my Tier III Kubota B3300SU tractor-loader.)
