Just a good thing to be aware of, pyrolysis, anytime I see something about rim repair I post it, hopefully not too repetitive, redundant, but a good reminder. I did not know about this myself, when I did that rim, but I did know I had to take that tire off, heat and rubber don't mix, pressurized vessel, just made sense, but I can imagine how easy it is to make that one bad decision and the results which will follow.
That 4000 is heavier, but can't be all that much more. I find that in moderately deep mud, but with some hard ground underfoot, this tractor does ok, might have to use the loader to get out, but surprisingly most times I did get stuck I could get out, with chains on you can dig pits real easy, always best to stop and get a tow, and not churn in until its bottomed out. The 2 times in 12 years I've had this tractor and really got stuck, is because I was too close to the swamp/pond, you can never tell how soft it will be, sometimes its dry enough, no problem, same spot you will sink, and every time it happened the narrow ag tires sliced it open, not using an overun clutch, it lurches forward just enough to get those rear tires into where the fronts sliced it open, and you are done, most times if you can stop quick enough, the loader will push me out, those two times, I used the D7 Cat and the last time a few years back the 4440, somehow you always know, its time to stop and get help.
