I've got a 4440 with the quad shift and an 886 with the TA. Although they aren't but a couple of years apart that 4440 is light years ahead. I know that IH had one in the plans but were in financial straights, but it makes me wonder what they could have had in the 86 series if they hadn't gone under. Don't get me wrong, the 886 is my favorite tractor for some reason, but only having one gear to split (with the TA) without stopping to shift (like the JD with 1-4 gears shift on the move in one letter range) is a pain. When it gets right down to it you usually stay within a gear or two anyway, and having a loader in the 886 is much easier. Going between 2 high and 2 reverse is simple. The 4440 would take a little more movement. The reverses in B range are a bit fast but the forward gears in A range are too slow, so then you are moving range and gear to load bales and feed.
