Massey Ferguson 4000 series

Looking for opinions on a 4840 Massey.

I'm looking for a 4wd for heavy harrowing, tillage if required, and PTO(grain cart, grain vac, auger) when needed.

What can you tell me about the 4840? Are the transmissions, planetaries, driveline the same as the 4880? Is it possible to put a PTO on one that doesn't have one already?

I'm looking at these because i would like a partial powershift for the graincart if I ever get one. I'm also looking at restoring it partially.

What are the transmissions like to repair?

I don't care about the engine, as if I ever have trouble with it I'll spend some time a put a 855 in it's place and be done with it

Just looking for some opinions!

Crap, This did not work how it was supposed to. Can a mod delete this? I reposted it in the tractor section.
