Dad uses a 4430 powershift and a 4440 quad to hay with. You can definately tell the hp difference between the two motors, the 466 has alot more torque, and when dad hooks onto a disk to make fire brakes, the 4440 will chug along while the same disk will work the 4430, and make it spin-neither tractor using duals, good tires and weights on both.

for the powershift, there are gaps yes, but we would have nothing different for a baler tractor. we bale with a vermeer 605F, and the powershift is only one lever to move for forward/reverse, and is easy to bump it up a gear when in light hay. i have also been told that with the powershift, holding the clutch pedal down only diverts oil, no pilot bearing wear. we do use the 4440 quad on the loader, but would prefer another powershift. it is smoother, but the powershift makes it a little quicker when moving hay bales, you can just shift up, without clutching, and you never think about being in the right range.
