I recently bought a Ford 4000 tractor for $5200 (in SW Ohio) that is very clean, starts and runs great, and has a select-o-matic transmission which shifts well. I have heard that the select-o-matic is the weak part of this tractor. Is this true? If so, what can I do to extend it's life? I plan to use the tractor to bush hog with a Bush Hog 206, run a small manure spreader, and some utility work. Hopefully with these light loads the drivetrain will last for many years (I hope! :-) Also, the clutch is very grabby. Engages all at once at the very end of the pedal travel. Is there a fix or adjustment to help improve the clutch action? I can ride the brake to keep the tractor from jumping, but it should be more progressive, shouldn't it? Thanks for your input!
