I currently have the '63 2000 4 cyl and '65 3000 and '88 3910. Have had 2 ea. 4 cyl 4000s, one an SOS. None of my 4 cyl engines have caused me any problems to speak of and were smooth as silk runners and quiet, very quiet. The SOS was at the end of it's band adjustment screws but still had enough to get good traction and no slipping. I did like the 10 speeds and ease of tranny operation with an independent PTO vs Tranny or Live which the geared models had.....not aware of any Ind. PTO on the 4 cyl engines. My 3000 needed an inframe but that was due to the PO removing the hose from the air filter to the intake manifold and working it in a dirty environment.
My 3000 is right at usable without ear plugs/muffs and the 197 cu in 3 cyl 3910 is very loud, hearing protection mandatory, even with the long vertical muffler. It's 4.2x4.4 whereas my 3000 is 4.2x4.2 and i think the 4000 engine is 200 cu in making it 4.4x4.4 and I'd expect the noise to be worse.
4 cylinders are less noisy. Brakes are tighter on the 3 cyl. '65 models up and the sumps are common for hyd-diff if that makes any difference. But in the thousand series 3 cyls. the brake lock is less than desirable. On the 3910 it is greatly improved.
I'd opt for PS which may put you in the 3 cyl category for availability. Parts for both are plentiful.

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).
