My dad bought one of the very first new generation Deeres in the country. It was a 4010 gas. I spent many, many hours on that tractor and loved every minute of it. Gasoline consumption is not nearly as bad as some of these guys seem to think. Light duty work such as mowing and raking hay, that tractor would go for 2 days before needing the gas tank filled. Heavier work, such as plowing, disking, etc, would require topping off the tank in the morning before starting out for the day, and then again at noon when I came in for dinner, and then it was good to go until about 6:00 pm.
You have a very nice tractor there, and it will do everything you need it to do. As a plus, it will start easily in the winter with no worrys about the fuel gelling up.
The only downside is that the 4010 gassers had a tendency to foul spark plugs if you did a lot of light duty, piddly work with them, but I think the John Deere boys have found a cure for that by now, so just go out and enjoy that classic tractor.
