My dad has both a 4640 and a 4840, both PS. They're big clumsy hogs as far as I'm concerned. Large 1000 only PTO ( of course, you can buy adapters to small 1000 and small 1000 to 540, but that's a BAD IDEA). Too big HP for a 2wd tractor. We also have a 1086 with a 1486 engine and 4wd front axle and it could outpull either without duals.
The only thing I figure they're good for is chopping and maybe pulling a 12 row planter. Of course, you can't beat 'em for cheap HP. You can step into about any 4640 or 4840 around here for under 20K. Our 4840 was bought 5 years ago for $12800 at a local farm auction. When he sent me to buy it, he was looking for a tractor to pull a 4500 gallon manure tanker. I tried my best to talk him into and 8440 or an 8450, but to no avail. Its traction improved with good rubber and a nice set of axle mount duals, but it is just too bulky.
