Tx Jim, Typo on #! I guess I fall on the opposite side of the coin, Uncle and Cousin bought 2 really Early 4640s, Both, Double Lever Quads,Cab,AC,Duals, both carrying about 1300 to 1400 of cast on each rear corner, + a full set of suitcase wts up front. Both,, we were not happy with them, In a row crop situation, using the 4 to 3 or 2 to 1 slap down fetcher the Quad was where it was at its best! We sold our old mid-series 4630 PS we lost our Best loader/grain cart tractor...really long in the tooth, and suspicion there was an internal trans/rear-end problem,.. some over 12K hrs. When we made one of the tractor the loader tractor the Shortcomings of the QR were really brought out! wanted our old 4630 PS back! Put an A&L 650 bu Grain Cart on either...(fully loaded) and they were Gutless F-in Wonder! Greatest day was when we replace them with with 2 Late PS models as the 40 series was phased out for the better refined 50 series. OBTW our 4640 PS was a better all-around tractor over the same tractor with quad. Over all it falls to preference and Useability on ones operation. We found the Quad to be Clumsy, and too difficult to get into another gear quickly, on the fly. Deere made a zillion of them and folks got along fine. Simply saying we were not Fans of Any Quad-Range row crop tractor version! we got along very well with the PS and had not trouble with them. Both QR tractors bought Brand New, both had around 8K hrs on each when we sold them. and got the newer SP versions! Later, John A.
