They are some of the best tractors ever made, at one time we had 7 4430’s in use on our hay and cattle farm in Western Ky.

I have many hours in a 4430 John Deere. That was the first tractor I drove when I started working for my Uncle in 1978. He bought the tractor new; I need to find out the year he purchased the tractor. He has passed, but his sons still own the tractor. This video brings me back to some great memories. Thank you for making the video. Great job, and Thank you for all of your😀 videos.

It amazes me that the 4430 and 4630 were our big tractors growing up, bought new, they are still here, but the 44 has been moved to the feed wagon and the 46 is now on the mower conditioner. Practically the 2 smallest tractors we still use.

Also the john deere kicker is bad to come out underneath the bale before it drops out of the chamber if you're downhill of have the gate opening too fast so you wind up with the kicker on the wrong side of the bale.
