Plow harrow on a 5 bottom plow pulls like a sixth bottom. Our 4010 was slightly used, about 4-5 years old when we got it, already had the 4020 kit in it. Dad about died the first day we plowed with it. I Was down in 2nd & 3rd gear plowing 8-10 inches deep with 5-14 with harrow. Dad came out after 4-5 hours with a Pepsi and we shut it down to check the oil. Oil had been right at full mark when I started, then dipstick had 2 quarts low line about an inch down, and bottom of dipstick half inch lower. Pulled dipstick, wiped it clean, replaced it and pulled it again, bone dry! Dad ran back to the house and got 4 quarts of oil. 3 brought it up to full mark. I still had almost a half tank of fuel left! It burned 5 quarts of oil per tank of fuel all spring for the next two years! Pulling our little 12 ft disk it burned less, about 1-1/2 to 2 quarts per tank, cultivating with 4-row frt mounted cultivator or pulling our #30. combine it would burn a quart a day and half a tank of fuel. It had to have been Dusted before we bought it. Guy selling at auction said "It burns a LITTLE oil". We nursed it along for 2 years and Dad had a local repair shop put M&W sleeves & pistons in it, rebuilt the head, new main & rod bearings, recondition the rods. Same guy paid us a housecall the one spring, rebuilt the injection pump. Some Idiot that had no idea what he was doing had been in the pump. Even though Dad had one of the self-proclaimed Best Deere diesel tech's tune it up a couple weeks after we got it he sure never had it on a dyno, was making 65-70 hp tops. Dad had the guy rebuilding the pump set it for 100-105 hp, we picked up two gears pulling the plow or disk! Till it popped the head gasket that fall plowing. That winter it got rebuilt. Farm was being sold that following summer, Dad rented the place, had no intention of buying. Was mowing weeds with the 4010 & 6 ft bushhog when the pto tried to shift from 540 to 1000. Same repair shop fixed that, and was able to sell the tractor for us. Young guy who bought it had an M&W turbo put on before it left the shop. About 8-10 months later the young guy hunted Dad up and wanted him to pay for all or at least half of the bill to rebuild the rearend/transmission. Guess he didn't know what "Where Is/As Is" meant. Tractor was an absolute Money Pit. It needed to be shipped to China and recycled into paperclips! It was a Good Day when it could run back to the house under it's own power.
I worked for a neighbor running 3 4020-D, 4320, 4230, etc and very seldom added a quart of oil to any of them.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
