[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1626129, member: 26138"] Powershift or Quad? If it's a quad run it in all ranges downhill, make sure it isn't popping out of gear. That's an expensive fix. Make sure the 2spd is nice and snappy and the hydraulics work well in all gears when hot. Just split a 4430 that had a leaking 2 speed, wouldn't know it until you ran the tractor for a couple of hours and got the oil hot. Hydraulics would quit and it would slip in low. Loaders through the SVCs are a pain, but functional. Put some ball valves inline on the loader hoses, so you can close the valve and put the SVC in float before you unhook, can be a real bitch to get it hooked back up with pressure from the weight of the loader on them. Won't be a powerhouse with the NA 404. Not sure about the 40 series, but the 30s with the 404 were a real booger to get going in the winter. Not a huge deal, but preparations have to be made, you ain't just gonna hop in and turn the key when it's really cold. How much are they asking for it? Seems like they go for 12-20k depending on condition and equipment. [/QUOTE]
