Well the JD 2840 is a model I run from anymore. They where a pretty good tractor when new. The trouble is they can have lots of hydraulic issues that added together can cost more to repair than the tractor would ever be worth. Great motor. Weak clutch as they had a dry clutch and loader work would eat a clutch every 2500-3000 hours. HI-Lo works good but if anyone ever tried to pull start it the clutch pack housing is usually junk. 20 years ago it as getting hard to find good Hi-LO clutch pack housings used and new was expensive.
This one with 4wd and a loader would throw red flags all around for me.
I know of fellows with the JD 2840s and later JD 2950s with tens of thousands of hours on them. I also know fellows that have spent $5-10K on them to get the hydraulic issues repaired. So unless the thing has had prove able light use I would look for a different model.
