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.
