| My 8 speed 4240 crept just as your 4040 does. From new, and I kind of liked it for hitching wagons. did a lot of silage cutting with forage boxes so it was sort of a nice "problem". The only thing I disliked about the 8 speed was that it went from 4.8 to 6.2 mph on 18.4-38's. NO 5 MPH gear. So in tillage it was a pig on fuel if using the 4.8 gear [4th, I think], and it lugged way too hard in the 6.2 mph gear. 4440 was a far better machine, but Deere changed to a 15-speed for a darn good reason.
Gauges... It's just a red/yellow/green, isn't it? with all things JD, if it's not in the Yellow or red, keep on driving it. should be fine. | |
