be glad you have a 4030. I have a 4040 and its a pig on fuel. its a turd on power compaired to the 4020 and it uses almost twice the fuel. It is a comfortable tractor to operate and its been in the family since new those are the only reasons I havent sold it
Thanks for the info. I have never owned or run a 4040. The little 4030 has found a place in our tractor lineup and is doing well. When you realize it was a replacement for the 3020 and not the 4020, you start to understand it is was an upgrade from John Deere.
So you from Va? I is to but im out here in south western... i use chicken litter for fertilizer mainly i have 2 put down lime to neauturlize the calcium... but im like 3 miles from chicken houses ... wat does 1 of them rakes cost i like that rake i got a H&S xrake i like yours a lot better
Yes we are located in central Virginia. I haven't priced a R2300 lately. This rake cost a little over 18K when I bought it new several years ago. This is a hydraulic fold model. The older manual fold type is much cheaper.
I have not had a problem, but the hydraulic oil temp does go up. More than I would like for sure! That is one of two things I do NOT like about this setup. In my opinion, this rake would be better served with a tractor equipped with a case drain (free flowing return to the main hydraulic oil tank).
This tractor is also used to pull my little 6 row planter. We use the bar for a drop row marker and leave it on until planting is over. Thankfully the big planter has it's own marker setup and GPS.

Didn’t know a NA 404 could be a pig on fuel. Our 4040 burns identical rate to our 4230 and our 4020’s.

How does the hydraulic oil temp keep up with the rake on that tractor?

I’m in Va just getting started
Very good! I hope you have much success!
Make a video of the baling
Almost time to cut this field again. I'll do my best to get a video of it!
What’s bar In front of tractor

She sure does a good job!
We have been very happy with this setup.
Looking good
Thanks Roy!
