And, the old 4440 uses two 6-V in series instead of 12V so a 6V output
would be nice there...

To someone who started with a Farmall B, the 4440 cannot be considered old :-)

(the 4440 is pretty desirable even now and has held its value well).

Indeed...other than it doesn't have hydroshift it makes ideal-sized
loader tractor or for other light-duty jobs its now bigger brothers take
care of. This one still has 5000 original hours altho the cab interior
needs completely redone.

First I was old enough to handle and that I remember using regularly
were M's. Grandpa had several little Cat 22's for row crop work back in

Our neighbor had an M, we used it to run the threshing machine (through
the 1970's, until my grandfather quit planting oats). The Super C and
the B pulled the wagons with the bundles of grain to the thresher. The
B had the cultivator attachment and was used as such.

Grandpa also had a couple Minneapolis Moline row croppers. Hand clutch;
don't remember the model numbers.

Other Grandpa had mostly Massey Fergusons, and a ford 8n.

Only green was a hay baler.

Nowadays, just a small Kubota and a green lawn tractor and the auctions
on RFD :-)
