Today the ford 8340 arrives from Europe , this late 90s legend is a rocket on the road , we compare it to its older brother the ford 8240. Finally I take it for a drive on the road and I'm amazed with the power
2 very nice 40s you got there ive got a 7840 turbo with oversized tyres on it does 50k no problem too got it on the dyno last year and its 140hp i think there all them 40 series are brilliant tractors you could put them to anything job
Enjoy the run of good fortune while it lasts in the second hand tractor business, as there will be one which will come along and eat a hole in the profit you've made in a few. Alot of genuine seller's which will tell you the truth but you'll always get a tramp wherever you go!
Could someone possibly tell me what kind of rim and tire size it is? And whether this is an original accessory because I definitely need wider tires on my Ford 7840
2 absolute beauties,blue roof model for me looks the nicer tractor,but 2 ,5 star tractors. Only thing nicer would be a mint 7840 in 2wd. Great video as always 👍
Sweet pair you've got there. I didn't know any 40 series did 50k. Is there any extra gears or are they just higher geared? I bet that's a rough ride at 50 especially the tractor on its own. I think the standard ones were about 25k?
Standard ones were generally 30-40k I believe, ours pushes 33k but a neighbour's will do 42k so that's why I'm saying 30-40k as taller tires will make it go some bit faster.
We used to have a 7740, completely standard, it did about 48k, 50+ going down hill. Ride was fairly good most of the time, not much different to our current TM130, but did start bouncing a bit once you get to full throttle
Sum buses them 40s the 8340 may have the wrong badge on the front as even a change over model 1995 ford/nh 40s has the new holland badge on the nose cone 😎🌬
My stomach turns around when i think of the times we had our 7840
Blue is colour both bloody good workhorse mules with lugging power great
Great Video, Great to see a couple of examples of Blue Tractor history, thanks of sharing
Wow that is very very fast for an old tractor, 60k 🔥🔥🔥
two nice yokes
Very good tractors. 40-series are fine machines....

Some machines, your trips to Europe definitely worthwhile it seems!! Some choice to make now whether or which to sell 🙈
Another great find! Think I’m for the 8340 but likening the white cab on the 82🤔. Pity the hose had popped off 😩
where they ford or rebadged fiat L series. i had a 7840 it was a real pain for gear sticks jamming.
Great video that brought back memories for me I got a new 8340 in 94 it done 33mph from new they where very fast but shake you to bits 😂
That the job 😂

€5 blue spray will do the job 😂 stop making things complicated they’re same shit
I'm one of the proud owners of 8340 and mine is barely doing 30km/h (19mph) is there any way to change it ?
Ford motor 💙
I have a Ford 8340 and the 4x4 is alwais on do you know the problem ?
Did you get it from Holland? Because i saw one that looks a lot like that.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
I'd choose the 8240 ford over the other 1
I would put the pipe system on the 8240 and get rid of the case and rake and bale hauling to the 8340
Has it got a fastrac gearbox?😁

Cheers Ciaran. I meant 25mph not k and just realised my mistake. Thanks for replying.
Used to hear of a lot of 8340's doing well over 40k
We used to have a 7740, completely standard, it did about 48k, 50+ going down hill. Ride was fairly good most of the time, not much different to our current TM130, but did start bouncing a bit once you get to full throttle
My old 7840 used to do about 55k
What hp is she?
With the turbo probably 130 ish... 8240 is about 110 id say..
Sum buses them 40s the 8340 may have the wrong badge on the front as even a change over model 1995 ford/nh 40s has the new holland badge on the nose cone 😎🌬
2450rpm 50k easy 40s mighty yokes
FORD IS GOLD 💪👌👍 SIMPLY THE BEST 💪👍❤️
THE SERIES 40 ARE NOT NEW HOLLAND , IT'S A FORD TRACTORS.
Now New Holland 👎🤮☠️🖕💩✝️🚮
