    Ideally I’d love to have a 4240 but they are hard to find.

    I'm looking for a another 4040 or a 4240 myself.
    I bought a 4040 with cab in Illinois in April 2020 before everything went stupid for $18k. The same dealer has one right now asking $28k for it and nowhere as slick as the one I bought.

    @ElmerFudpucker says he likes his Jeeps like his women, with nice rear ends. So I'm going to snatch the label off this one and send it to Souh Kakalakee.

    And who wants to use a creeper on gravel? This makes getting underneath the trailer so much easier.

    I traded for a newer tractor a while back and I got 18k for my 4040. I guess you never know.

    I’d take a 4450 in a hot minute too. Course a 4440 or clean 4430 would do for sure. Between trucks and farm tractors it sux being a poor boy
