When was the John Deere 4230 tractor made?

When a Deere executive handed down the order in 1967 that it was time to create a replacement for the 4020—possibly the most successful and popular tractor that Deere ever built—it’s an easy bet that there were a number of groans from the engineering department.

What kind of transmission does a John Deere tractor have?

To further satisfy customers, Deere also developed a new transmission for its new line of tractors. The new Quad-Range transmission gave operators 16 speeds from which to choose. Internally, the Quad-Range was basically a Syncro-Range transmission with a two-speed planetary unit installed ahead of it.

What kind of body does a John Deere tread tractor have?

The standard tread tractors were little more than row crop tractors with particular wheel and axle options and both the row crop and standard had the options of Sound-Gard, four post-Roll-Gard or an open station. A Sound-Gard body was not available for the Hi-Crop tractor, possibly out of fear of making it too top-heavy.

Is there a low profile John Deere tractor?

A two post-Roll-Gard was an option for that tractor. The Low Profile was only available with an open station. Putting a structure of any sort over a Low Profile tractor would be counterproductive, as they were designed to have a low center of gravity and to leave plenty of clearance overhead.
