I have had all three,a 4230,4440 and a 4250.Seems like most of these tractors came off the assembly line with a QR trans and dual remotes and to a lesser degree a front weight bracket wth or without weights especially on the 40 series.So if a farmer wanted or needed extras would the local dealer add the options or could they be factory ordered kinda like cars and trucks.The reason I ask this is I recently purchased a 4440 with some options.This tractor originally came from Idaho potato country.It has extra long axles,triple remotes and three point lift assist with category three draft arms.Im thinking this tractor was ordered this way for specific row crop work.Also interesting to note that the tractor never had duals
mounted on it and wheels were set in close.I think it's kind of interesting to note stuff like this on tractors and think about how they were used or not used.And to consider how a particular farmers plans may change over the course of owning a tractor and modifiy/change the tractor accordingly.To me it's fun too look at older tractors on auction and note any options they might have.Ok done thinking out loud now.
