Select o Speed Trans.

I'm looking at Ford 4000 with low hours. I just don't
Know a thing about this select O speed trans.



Made in the USA

We've never owned one but around here people say to stay away from them because when, not if, they break down it is usually cheaper to replace the trans with an 8-speed than to fix the select-o-speed. I would also be concerned about the availability of parts. I've had four fords with the 8-speed and really like them. My 7600 and 7710 have dual power which is really nice in some instances, but not necessary. The 4000's are nice tractors otherwise and have a good reputation around here. They are easy on fuel yet strong enough to run a haybine or small round baler. Hope this helps.

Select-o-speeds have a bad rep.

I have had one and would not recomend them. If you do purchase the tractor take it directly to a shop and put the 8 speed in it and you will save time, money, and headaches.JHH

How much are we talking to put the 8 speed in.

I never had one but around here they have a bad reputation , my neighbor had two them , he called them jerkomatics. I have a 6600 with 8 speed with dual power with over 7000 hours and never had any problems.
