Hi guys, I am looking for some advice regarding a few tractors. I am currently farming with Olivers about the 80-100 horse size. They are getting small for proper tillage and spring field work. I am looking at upgrading to a JD 4440,4630, 4640. I would probably have a budget of $15000-$20,000. My dad had a 4430 and had rear-end trouble. He also had a 4440 and a 4630. I wish I had all of them, but he lost the farm in the hard times in the 80's. When looking at these with this much age on them, what should I be looking for problems. Would it be a deal breaker if a tractor had a quad range vs. power shift. Typically at what hour range does it seem most likely have engine or transmission problems? I see a lot at the 10,000 hr range being sold. That seems to me that they are wore out at this hour range. I appreciate any and all insight.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
