Hey all,
So putting a torture box (aftermarket cab) on the 4010 is out, as I figured. Putting a SG cab on my 4430 OS is still gonna be around $5000, so that's undesirable. Just flat adding a tractor is not justifiable (Last year, I put 10 hours on my 60, 75 hour on my half 2040, 100 hours on my 4010, and 75 hours on my 4430, and I just picked up my grandpa's 3020)
How about I sell my 4010, put 16.9-38s on 14 inch rims on my 4430 for cultivating 30 inch rows on contour strips (so much heavier than my 4010...), and buy a 4630 cab tractor as my big hoss for 10K at a local jockey's place? My big tractor needs to pull a 14 foot BWF with 18 foot spring tooth harrow and 5-18 IH plow. These are EVERYTHING my 4430 wanted - they work it hard. It also needs to run a 375 bushel spreader and Degelman dozer blade on occasion.
Big problem with this plan is I just got done spending beaucoup bucks on my 4010 - 30 series front end, rebuilt hydraulic pump, newer diesel engine out of a 4430, new clutch, new rear rims, new hydraulic valves, new brakes - everything but the tranny (knock on wood). I'll never get back out of it what I have in it and I've hit all the bad parts in the tractor, so it should be dead reliable.
All this decision making to get a cab to give my 4 year old boy a relatively safe ride in a tractor...

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
