Eurostar 8040: farm tractor with a turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine from the Perkins 1004 range, 3,990cc, 83.1 hp and a lift capacity of 2,600 kg
The 8040 is a mid-power farm tractor whose engine, coded 1004.4T, belongs to the Perkins 1004 range – a turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine used by numerous tractor and construction-machinery makers around the world. This engine family is known for rugged units tuned for pulling power rather than high revs, typical of the mid-power segment of farm tractors.

The four-cylinder diesel engine of 3,990cc produces 83.1 hp (61.1 kW) at 2,400 rpm. At 3,650 kg and 4,630 mm long, the 8040 sits in the mid-power class of farm tractors; the three-point linkage lifts up to 2,600 kg, and the top speed is 36.4 km/h.
A turbocharged four-cylinder engine of around four litres and about 60 kW covers the power class needed for general arable and grassland work with medium-weight mounted implements. The 2,600 kg lift capacity at the three-point linkage is enough for ploughs, cultivators and medium-sized mounted mowers or harvesting equipment.
When buying one of these tractors second-hand, with an engine from the Perkins 1004 range, the condition of the turbocharger and its oil supply, and the injection pump's delivery accuracy, matter most. Also worth checking are the seals of the lift cylinder, given the comparatively high 2,600 kg lift capacity, and the drivetrain and power take-off for the wear typical of tractors in this power class under continuous use.
