    I've spent a lot of time on a 4020 John Deere and I guess pick your color. That horsepower range just seems to work well for so much on a small farm. I pull a notill drill or a six row notill planter. It's got plenty of power to pull the baler down the road with a wagon 200 bales full. We used to Hussle chopper wagons with them as well. Yet I can get it into tight places to put equipment away or whatever else. Last summer I had to do some rim repair on my Oliver Super 77 and ended up putting new tubes in and replaced the cloride with washer fluid. I don't think I'll have to worry about those rims and tires for the rest of my life, unless of course I find a deer antler.

Why say that because in 1992 my one school buddy need change motor in car also ask my dad plus brother my uncle for permission they say yes and help too! Funny for 350 V8 , Manual Transmission floor shifter on 1963 B414 Loader tractor Desiel motor did performance excellent no damage to car or tractor to ever even a person!

    Agree 400 is SMTA with better hydraulics and a dash. I have a 2000 loader on my '62 560. I use it every day to feed round bales, push snow, and clean cattle sheds. It lifts most bales, but struggles with wrapped wet bales. If a 2000 loader lifts a ton, be assured a 2001 loader will NOT lift a ton and a pound.

    Somehow, I missed or forgot your 400 acquisition. I just got a 400 a couple of years ago, and although I kinda like the looks of it, I spend more time with my M, SM, SMTA, and the SW-4, SWD-6 . You might enjoy a 1066 or a Hydro 100 if transmission is good. Some models have ridiculous collector inflation, (1206 1256 1456), and some are just solid value farm tractors like a 1066 or 1466.

    Speaking from experience,I don't believe you would like a 1566 unless you are just going to do heavy tillage with it,they have a 3 spd transmission and your always a gear too low or a gear too high.A 1456 is probably going to be big bucks.The best large frame Farmall ever built was the 1066 and they will match a 14 or 15,hell they are basically the same tractor,but with a 4spd that the 15 doesn't have and a good 1066 that hasn't been beat to death can still be had fairly reasonable.Just MHO,that and a quarter won't get you a cup of coffee.The DT414 in the 1066 will turn whatever power you want it to.
