This four-wheel-drive workhorse is built to tackle the toughest jobs with unwavering reliability and impressive power.

Unleash the Cummins V8 Power

At the heart of the 440 lies a robust Cummins 555C V8 turbocharged diesel engine, displacing 9.1 liters. This powerhouse delivers a commanding 218 horsepower, ensuring you have ample grunt for deep plowing and heavy-duty operations. The liquid-cooled, 8-cylinder, 32-valve design, coupled with a 17:1 compression ratio, promises efficient and durable performance under demanding conditions.

Navigate your fields with ease thanks to the Eaton transmission, featuring a versatile 10 forward and 2 reverse gears. The cerametallic dry disc clutch ensures smooth power delivery and longevity. Power is efficiently transferred to the ground through outboard planetary final drives, a testament to the 440's robust mechanical design.

Operator Comfort and Control

The 440 prioritizes operator comfort and control. A standard cab provides a commanding view, with air-conditioning available as an option for those long working days. Hydraulic disc brakes offer reliable stopping power, while the articulated hydraulic power steering makes maneuvering this substantial machine surprisingly agile.

Hydraulics and Dimensions: Ready for Any Task

Equipped with an open-center hydraulic system, the 440 boasts a pump flow of 21 gpm and can operate at 2000 psi, supported by 3 valves to handle a variety of implements. With a substantial weight of 20,230 lbs and impressive dimensions including a length of 228 inches, this tractor is built to provide stability and traction, further enhanced by its 23.1-26 agricultural tires all around.
