The US branch of the family's drilling tractor back in 1997. They ran their operation with 2 4440s and a 4450 at the time, plus an older one I'm not sure of the model number which topped the lawns, did fencing and ran augers. Running at least one 8030 series now.

It's actually a sun shade that fits outside the window. For some reason the one for the other side was taken off. IIRC tractor did have aircon. They are in Southwest Kansas which is semi desert and flat as a pancake and 33 degrees when I was there at this time of year.

Ah that makes sense, keep the sun off in the first place.

Had no experience of these 40 series Deeres, what was it about them that made them so desirable? You all seem to drool over them!

All the above with oodles of character, more comfort than most other tractors of the era, not entirely without their problems as most with machinery there is weak points but even high hour ones drive as if they will go forever
