Waiting for new 4000 tractor

Jeff M makes a good point with respect to the question of whether to purchase a 4000 tractor with the old style MFWD axle or wait for a tractor with the new axle. As with any purchase, we need to consider the price and if the dealer will drop the price on the tractor with the old axle then it may indeed be worth it. The point I have been trying to make is that unless there is a substantial price difference then the customer should go with the tractor with the new axle. I predict that as the word spreads throughout the land that Deere produced these tractors for a year and a half with a defective axle, that resale (and trade-in value) will be adversely affected if you own the tractor with the old axle. In the case of used farm equipment, when a tractor or other piece of equipment received a reputation as having problems the resale value plummeted. I think this could happen to the 4000 series tractors.
