i run a 4030 and a 4430. the 4030 does alright but for heavy work im not too impressed with it. plowing with a 3 bottom jd 420 flip plow in B1. and when you hit a spot of heavy soil it bogs right down. i dont know, my grandfather's run a farmall 706 (70 hp) for years with a ih 70 4 bottom plow and it pulls like theres nothin behind it almost. and then theres the 4030 with 10 more hp and it doesnt like the 3 bottom. go figure. maybe this 4030 has problems i dunno? but i have heard that 4030's have been known for being short on power. it's a loud tractor too. if your gonna use it for haying or more lighter duty work the 4030 would be great. don't get me wrong i love that tractor but i just dispise plowing with it, everything else it does fine
