pros and cons of building a 4440 vs 4055 February 08, 2016 06:07AM
looking at building a 11,000# 3000rpm 18mph tractor. Was looking to build a 4440 but have found a 4055 prospect. what would be the Pros and Cons of this be?
Thanks in advance.

the 4055 would have a lot better power plant 7.6 liter with the 55 seriers head and the chassis would be lighter for more movable weight

MAKE SURE THE 4055 IS NOT A POWERSHIFT OR YOU WILL BE FINDING A DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION

I would agree with the other two post it's a no brainer use the 4055

Re: pros and cons of building a 4440 vs 4055 February 09, 2016 12:55AM
Find a Mexican 4055. Lighter and syncro. transmission.

Why not start out with a 4010- 4020 rear end and build from there. Your options are wide open. Put whatever sheet metal and motor you want it. Just my 2 cents.

Re: pros and cons of building a 4440 vs 4055 February 09, 2016 05:18AM
yes they would both be quad ranges. wanted to use the 2 speed for different speeds.

I'm sure [me] meant to say 4455 they didn't make a 4055 in a mexican and yes you can put a 2 speed in a mexican 4455 even if it's a synco transmission but a mexican 4455 didn't come with the good R86427 head on it. Good luck with choice.

A powershift will work if you know what to do to it

Re: pros and cons of building a 4440 vs 4055 February 09, 2016 12:57PM
55 series is much better. Definitely don't buy a powershift.

can anyone give advise on pulling a 4440 powershift in a farm stock class

Re: pros and cons of building a 4440 vs 4055 July 10, 2019 02:00AM
Can you please give me some advise, Bob

Re: pros and cons of building a 4440 vs 4055 February 20, 2016 07:07PM
Better check but pretty sure a 4055 doesn't have a 466 in it.

Re: pros and cons of building a 4440 vs 4055 February 20, 2016 11:26PM
yes,a 4055 is a 466.

Re: pros and cons of building a 4440 vs 4055 July 12, 2019 04:24AM
I believe they could of had a 359 turbo also?

Re: pros and cons of building a 4440 vs 4055 February 21, 2016 12:05AM
actually depends on the year of the 4055 neighbor has one with the 359 turboed another neighbor has a 466 n/a so cake and eat it too

Re: pros and cons of building a 4440 vs 4055 February 21, 2016 12:36AM
George, you're thinking of the 4050.

Re: pros and cons of building a 4440 vs 4055 February 21, 2016 03:02AM
I agree. Here is some info from tractordata on the 4050.

maybe so they all look like a jacka$$ with antlers to me

Re: pros and cons of building a 4440 vs 4055 February 21, 2016 12:38AM
I think your neighbors have 4050 tractors, they had the 5.9 with a turbo or a na 7.6 . 4055's have a turbo charged 7.6 in them.

Re: pros and cons of building a 4440 vs 4055 February 21, 2016 01:29AM
Save your money and just buy a 6030 at that weight. You'll win more and everyone will hate you. But that can be fun too !

Re: pros and cons of building a 4440 vs 4055 March 14, 2019 02:42AM
6030's are thee best looking "STRONG - BULL " LOOKING UNIT EVER MADE in MHO. Some older Allis tractors look mean too,looks and power to the ground is what watching is all about. Indoor pulls are crap cuz no smoke and not much noise.A 660 IH can be awesome too,with wheatland fenders. Spring - come on down.

Re: pros and cons of building a 4440 vs 4055 July 11, 2019 12:17PM
We are having tranny issues with a wet clutch setup so if I were to do over it would be a dry clutch tractor. Can't beat a 6030. You can build power till the cows come home.
