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 - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
