Neighbor had one. Told me they had the worst traction of any tractor he'd ever used. That's all I know about them.
Then why would you say anything about the 2840 let alone a 2nd hand quote from somebody else?
Why do you chime in with some of the stuff you do guy? A question was asked, I related the only negative thing I knew about them, end of story.
What could make all those 2840's around the world have the worst traction?
How can you take the uncontested, non scientifically proved word of a neighbour with unknown credentials. And say the 2840 is a lousy puller.
I suggest you go over to your neighbour and call him the dim witted lying a$$ that he is. 4+ tons of drawbar pull ain't shabby.

I related one persons experience/opinion as an owner of a 2840 for several years. That's it guy. Don't getcher shorts in wad just because my neighbor slighted your (apparently) most loved tractor. And read Tx Jims post too.
FWIW- the Nebraska tests say nothing about owner satisfaction.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
