He points out real wear issues found on his used TD5040 (seized 3-point linkage parts reassembled wrong, a rusted-stuck drop hitch, non-functional AC/beacon) alongside basics like the engine, cab, and controls. Useful for buyers of an older, well-used TD5040 wanting candid owner gripes rather than specs or performance testing.
Posted by the Valmet45589 channel, an owner sharing informal, unscripted impressions from their own tractor rather than a dealer or professional reviewer.
No, the AC does not work on this tractor, described as not functioning despite the owner trying it.
It is rusted stuck because previous owners rarely used it for towing a trailer, so it does not drop on its own and needs the links lowered first.
A seized three point linkage was reassembled wrong by a previous mechanic, the drop hitch is rusted stuck, and the AC and beacon do not work.
The owner had put about 200 to 250 hours on the tractor over roughly a year and a half of ownership.
