I have a 4430 powershift , bought it new in 1976 . Also have a 3020 , 4020 and 4840 all powershift , personally I wouldn't have anything else . We also had 4020 sybcro's and a good running 4640 quad that I got new in 1981 .The 4640 quad range was used for the grain cart , 13 knife 3pt NH3 bar , ran C1&2 , now try shifting to C3 with 750bu behind you , try backing up to a NH3 tank in C reverse , maybe some are better operators than we are but it is next ro impossible , to go to alower reverse you got to go back to A range to do it right . Neighbor and I co-own a round baler , he has a 4440 quad , bale in A4 , to go to reverse you go to 1-2 , grind to R , my 4430 Powershift slip her in R , no grinding etc . My old '64 3020D powershift , 148 loader , foot throttle , forward and reverse just like a reverser , don't use the pedal most of the time . Yes the powershift is jerky at times , but overall I think it is better overall . In the 4640 I used B2 & C2 90% of the time , those two gears are almost identical to 4th and 5th in 4840 Powershift . The 4640 I had I sold to a neighbor and bought another neighbor's 1982 4840 at his auction . The 4840 on a 750 grain cart , start in a low gear and keep shifting up or down . I'll second the statement somebody else made about powershift and clean oil , also the system pressure must be kept at the maximum so the clutches don't slip .
