I am firmly with Tim S, the John Deere 4020 and other New Generation like tractors are well engineered to be serviced. I split more than one 2510/2520 in an hour. Going together takes me longer as I am pretty detail oriented. The bigger question is do you know what you're looking at when it is apart. This would be true for any tractor. My challenge is always to evaluate a part as to if it is good or needs replacement. I am getting better, the JD manuals are pretty good about giving critical specifications.
By the way, brakes are not an issue either on the New Generation. I have done a couple now and there are many ways to approach the job. Like was said, oil immersed last forever, and if you have to replace them they will last for the rest of forever, ha, ha.
I know nothing about the other models mentioned here so I cannot comment. That Ford 5000 sure is popular as it keeps coming up.
No matter what tractor you have you should have a service manual. It also helps if that tractor has parts available, ha, ha.
