I bought a new 6340 in 2001 and it is a great machine. We have 20 hectars in a hilly area. This is a stable and strong tractor. We had some concerns if it would pull a 5 bladed ripper and it does with no problem. It is great in all situations, forest, snow, hills, hay cutting...... Only problem I had was the sleeve for the injectors started leaking coolant, relplaced 2 heads under warranty and now more problems! enjoy!
