Uh, no it's not. The 4440 was an updated 4430 with the addition of the 6466 engine and some stronger components and more iron in the chassis. And the addition of the hydracushion seat. If the new IH was a favorable comparison against 5 year-old Deeres, then the 50-series Deere was certainly a favorable comparison to the 88s when the 50s came out a scant 2 years later, wouldn't you say? So did IH compare the 86s to the 30-series Deeres? Probably so. But, I can see IH wanting to test 5 year old competitor's iron against their latest and greatest. Unfortunately, they didn't introduce the various series simultaneously, because if they had, the 50-series Deere would have buried the 88s so deep they never would have gotten out of the hole. 86-series or 88-series, IH never had a tractor that would run with a 4840 or 4850. And if you doubt that, go find yourself a 1586, throw two 300 gallon saddle tanks on it, a 12-row 30-inch MOUNTED planter on the back and lets hit the fields.
