I've got one, and I use it a LOT. It's avery nice, well balanced tractor, with all the power one needs in a package that size.
It is somewhat vulnerable to "electralisys". That's a condition where small particles of dirt in the cooling system literally blast holes in the base of the cylinder sleeves. It can be prevented with coolant conditioner, and keeping the cooling system VERY clean. There is a "retro-fit" kit available from Deere, for the 4000 seies tractors, that is easily adapted to the 2000 series tractors. It filters the coolant. It uses a small filter, much like an oil filter.
I use mine for hay work, and pulling a corn planter, as well as some light tillage work, as we grow several acres of vegatables.
You won't ever hear me say anything too bad about a 2440. Very good tractor. JMHO. John

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
