**Requested by WalrusAircraft**This is my second tractor built from a request and I think it's even better than the first. This is a 1976 John Deere 4430. I apologize if you don't like John Deere, but I do and I'm the builder. If you want something else, request it. There are some others on the way, don't worry. Anyway, after finagling out an answer as to whether or not he wanted a cab, I finished the tractor, and here it is. I couldn't add the yellow stripe on the side, but it looks all right without. I also had to compromise on cockpit detail to add the cab.

This was a $23,000 6-cylinder tractor built in, you guessed it, 1976. It had 46 gallons of fuel and 11 gallons of hydraulic fluid. It had 105 drawbar horsepower and 126 PTO horsepower. The wheelbase was 106.6 inches and it weighed 9732-15060 pounds. It was produced for 5 years, from 1973 to 1977.

VTOL 100% to start. It has three gears. VTOL engages first gear, ACT1 engages second gear, and ACT1 & 2 engage third gear. It gets 3-4 miles per hour in 1st, 5-6 miles per hour in 2nd, and up to 30 miles per hour in third. I don't know how that happened, but you may need to hold the pitch lever down to help reduce bouncing. It is really difficult to drive safely this fast, so be careful. Try not to drive downhill in third. Use yaw to steer. Enjoy!
