Aaahh geez,what can I say. I bought a 4040 brand spanking new. Had almost 13,000 hours on it when I traded it off. They were 90 horses and really didn't act like they had any more than that. Keep in mind how much I loved that tractor,but my old 1850 Oliver would out pull it. Don't know anything at all about the New Holland,except that it's no doubt newer,but I'll tell you the problems I had with the 4040 over the years. It had a Quad Range transmission. When it was 9 years old,it started jumping out of gear. Had to have 8 new gears put in the transmission. The next year I had to have the engine overhauled. There's a two speed powershift unit in there that lets you shift from 1-2 and 3-4 without clutching. That unit went out on me. Wasn't cheap. The final straw that caused me to trade it off,I was running the PTO and went to shut it off and it wouldn't stop. The service manager told me to take the valve apart on the side,that there's a little lever in there that,usually when it breaks,the PTO won't start up,but thought mine had hung up keeping in engaged. That wasn't it. I traded it off and let the dealer figure it out. Didn't want to have to pay to have it split a third time.
