John Deere 4430 | Tractor Review

The John Deere 4430 is a large agricultural tractor manufactured by JD during the seventies for 4 years from 1973 until 1977. It is part of the 4030 series of tractors that included the smaller John Deere 4230 and the larger John Deere 4630. This powerful tractor isn’ t normally seen on smaller farms, but is a lot more common on larger farms that required a strong tractor with the pulling power of the  the JD 4430. Obviously nowadays, JD produce even more powerful tractors, but at the time it was a true workhorse. It’s John Deere designed and built engine is a 6 cylinder, 6.6 liter, turbocharged beast, capable of producing 126 hp through it’s PTO. To properly fill it, it requires 16.1 liters of oil.

It hasn’t got an air cooling system. Instead it’s liquid cooled and requires 28.4 liters of coolant to properly maintain a reasonable temperature without overheating. It has a category 2, 3 point hitch that has a lift capacity of 2063 kg (4550 lbs). If you were to fully fill the fuel tank from empty, then you need to put 174.1 liters (46 US gallons) of diesel in the fuel tank.

When operating normally, the John Deere 4430 weighs in at 5148 kg (11,350 lbs) but this increases dramatically if you are to fully ballast it. If you do, then it’s weight will increase to 6831 kg (15,061 lbs). It’s quite a long tractor, measuring 4.08 m (161 inches) in length while it has a wheelbase of 2.7 m (90 inches). This all adds up to quite a big tractor indeed. When you were originally purchasing this model, you had a choice of whether or not you wanted a cab. With a cab, it measures 3.17 m (125 inches) in height, but without one (and hence without even a rollbar for protection, it measures 2.76 m (109 inches) in height. All in all, the JD 4430 is a very impressive tractor. These tractors, if well maintained are still to be found operating on farms to this day.
