What is the height of 4430/4230 with cab ?

Hello all I'm building a new shop and putting in doors was wondering what the height is of a 4430/4230 with a cab? I don't own one of these nor do I know if I ever will but it would be about as big of a tractor that I could ever need. I know it will fit through my main door but my other two doors I was planing on going 10x10 and did not know if it would clear. I know there will be some variance for tire size just looking for a rough average.
 
I usually figure 12 foot to have some clearance. 10 foot will only work with 34 inch back tires and even then it is tight.
 
Never cut your self short on door height..here in my shop I went with 14ftX20wide..the combine won't go under it unless you drop some air out..If I had it to do over I would have went with 16ft doors and 18-20ft to the square in the shop with a 4-12 pitch roof at least..
 
Good advice below... doors are never big enough! Keep this in mind as well- the cab isn't necessarily the tallest point on a tractor like a 4430. THe muffler and pipe can be (and usually is) just as tall or taller.
 
Width is just as important as height.. 10' wide and you won't get it inside with duals. Dad didn't listen when we built a shop at one of the farms. It's a 14'X20' and it's tight. So when I built the barn I told him to at my place I put in 16x30's. Gives a guy a little wiggle room.
 
I've got an old barn that we put overhead doors in so that we wouldn't be banging the sliding doors together all the time. That being said we had the doors special ordered at Menards, We put in an 11' tall and a 10.5'tall. Our 4430 with 18.4x38 rear and 11x15 front tires fits threw the 11 easy with a rain cap, the 10.5 it has to be idled down to keep from catching the cap.
 
If you are in snow country, allow some extra clearance for normal snow and ice buildup outside the doorway, especially if the door is on a side wall. When water drips off the roof and freezes into a hump under the drip line or snow slides off the roof piling up outside the door, it's natural to speed up to try to bust through that snow bank without watching if the tractor will clear the top of the doorway. You may remember to watch out for that, but if someone else drives your tractor they will likely forget.

Keep in mind that ten or twenty years from now you or the next owner could have a taller tractor or a combine you want the store in the shed.
 
Or if the ground outside the door slopes. Our shed has a slight slope away from the building. When you are talking 4" of clearance cab roof to door a small slope and drop off from the concrete in shed to outside can make a HUGE difference. We are in the stages of building another barn. We currently have 10 foot doors and our JD 6200 barely fits in, Kuhn GMD600 mower barely fits in folded up. I am looking at having a 12' tall garage door, as wide as I can get on one end into a shop type space as well as a second door, same size out of the shop space and into the "storage" area. This way we can keep the shop area above freezing in the winter and keep the sprayers in there. If I have my way the storage area will have a sliding door to allow wider equipment ease of going in and out. Current doors on our shed are 9' wide, doesn't include the space the trim boards take up, and that is getting skinny.
