As a former John Deere mechanic and now wrenching on my own, the 2840 would be the first to go away. You said you've had problems with it before and from my experience it will give trouble again. That,s a lot of hours for a 'good' 2840. 2940's are way better but can still cost some repairs with that many hours. If you are looking to long term future, I would look at 50 or 55 series tractors (4450, 4455, up to 4850, or 4955). These are the last of the 'simple' tractors that independent mechanics can work on efficiently. They cost more but will hold their value and will still be farming when the newer computerized stuff is sitting in the boneyard. I can't comment on tractor size for larger equipment as that depends on the ground you're working. General maintenance is the best way to keep things running dependably. When greasing and checking oils, take time to walk around and check everything over and make notes on wear items you see that can be repaired during off season or rainy days. Larger equipment will save you some time in the field if that's what you're needing.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
