I don't know if your wanting to buy or start a discussion but from an economical point why don't you just get (3) 1086's that are nearer the equivalent of the 4440 but a 1/3 the cost and see what will pull more. I don't bleed green or red but, I don't believe in wasting money either because that is truly bleeding green..... ....

Most 1086s I've seen are running about 1/2 the price of a 4440 in similar condition, not 1/3. And then of course you'd need 3 operators to go in those 3 1086s. They don't drive themselves, so how 3 tractors could outwork 1 is kind of a moot point in my opinion, if you don't have the labor to operate them. The 4440 has better hydraulics, easier wheel spacing adjustment, a better hitch, a better cab, better controls (try shifting with your left hand and reaching behind you to turn on the PTO in an 86 some time), a bigger engine, two transmission options to the one for the 1086, a nearly indestructible wet-type Perma-Clutch in the Quad-Range tractors, and many other advantages. In all fairness to the 1086, they were and are good tractors, but were little more than an updated 1066. The lack of a full powershift really hurt IH.
