gorilla1, If you are in the 100 hp market there are other JD that are better a choice than a 4020.
My personal loader tractor is a 966 w/ a 2350 IH loader. I love it. It has no cab, has a fresh TA,clutch. weakest point on mine is the frontend!
OK,
JD, 4520,4620 in the 20 series will out preform a regular 4020. Be sure the tractor has a Powershift tranny. These tractors will have the heavier frontend. 4020 is a great tractor but, the front end isn't very good. And most 4020s have a million hrs on them, rebuilt 5 or 6 times The newer series 4030/4230,4040/4240 same hp class with better refinements.
Got a 4230, straight 8 speed W/new Koyker loader
for my cousin last summer. Bought @ Amarillo,TX and delivered to Lampassas,TX $15,000, + - 500mi.
Only other modification we have done to it is loose the floation tractor tire on front, in favor of the airplane tires we have on it now. They will stand up to loader work better! 12ply, 220 MPH rated, You can't run a stob or something through it like regular tires.
Hope this helps,
John A.

Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
