Farmer Jerry says

“The 4440! Now we're in the Sound-Gard era. Getting in that quiet cab with the air conditioning running while pulling a heavy load... man, we thought we were spoiled.”

About this model

Original 2000 Precision Classics release

The John Deere 4440 was the heart of the Iron Horses generation, covering the 1978-1982 lineup that introduced the Sound-Gard cab, giving operators the first truly weatherproof, low-noise environment in a John Deere row-crop tractor. Rated at 130 PTO horsepower, the 4440 became one of the best-selling tractors of its era on Midwest grain farms. This 2000 Precision Classics 1:16 replica details the landmark Sound-Gard body, wide-front axle, and dual rear tires that defined the look of large-frame farming in the early 1980s.
