SC WI | Maybe not the most comfortable tractors to run anymore but love the looks of a large open station (without ROPS) tractor especially ones you wouldn't typically think of CASE 90/94 series, Allis 70**, 30/40 series Deere's. Remember a farm I used to work at in high school had a 4440 on 18.4-42's with he cab cut off, that tractor was a thing of beauty. Anyone have any rare open stations? converted or not.

Pierce county WI | So when I was a kid, at the elementary school, or Jr high school library there was a book about farm equipment published in the 70s. There was a picture of a 1086 open station moldboard plowing with a 720 plow? A dairy farmer I know had bought a brand new 886 with a rops and he said that you couldn't get an 86 series bigger than a 786 without a rops and canopy or cab. I knew I had seen that book in the late 80s or early 90s. If I remember right, a neighbor's boy checked that book out of the library to settle the bet. They did offer a 1086 open station right?
As far as Deere open station, there was a 4240 sold new in our area that was an open station synchro. Also 4040s. I was told that you couldn't get a 4440 without a rops. However, a guy we used to tractor pull with says his dad's open station 4440 puller was factory open station. Is that true? A friend of mine has a 4250 that they sawzalled the 4 post off. That looks like a neat tractor. The Mexican 4455s with the 2 post look pretty badass too. |

NC Kansas | Guy around here I think was able to order a new JD 7600 open station, not that rare but seemed odd to me. Doesn’t garvo have an open station 7200? |
|
| |
|
SE MN | IIRC, Garvo's is a 7600. |
|

NW KS/ SC ID | I have a 7030 Allis that started life as an open station, and I am threatening to convert it back. Year-a-Round cabs are probably awesome snowblowing and a few other tasks compared to open station, but boy, they sure suck compared to an Allis Accousta Cab. |

SW Minnesota | We have a 7210 open station. My dad bought it new and we even did the Gold Key Tour and saw it being built.

NW Washington | I remember a wheat farmer in N. Idaho who farmed with steel track D-7 Cats without cabs. He said cabs and wheel tractors made him sick.
He was known for doing things his way and not like the neighbors. |

Stratford WI | Buddy has an Allis 7060 open station. Looks pretty cool. |
|
| |
|
| There are 2 4430 open station units with 5 miles of me.
One has a 466 intercooled engine in it.

NE Ohio | I love my 4430, its a '74 powershift. It even made it in some engagement pictures. Its one tractor that will never leave the farm. I seem to be getting a lot of tractors with that title...

NW Tennessee | There is an open station 4430 near me, but I can assure you it looks absolutely nothing like that! |
|
| |
|
S.Dakota | John Deere made factory open station 4050's and 4250's in 1983 and 1984 model years. I am looking for a 4250 open station powershift if anyone has one. |

| Nice looking tractor, I would be very happy to have that 7210 on my farm, currently have a 3020 and 2520, love having a couple of open station tractors on the farm. That 7210 is basically the same size as a 4020, isn't it? The reason I ask is you hear all the time, "If Deere would build a 4020 they would sell a million of them." Well it turns out you could always buy a modern 4020 but Deere didn't sell a ton of them, I guess people chose cabs and FWA. |

S.E. South Dakota | I can see getting a auger or yard tractor with out a cab. If you are going to the field all day why do you want to sit in dust all day? |
|

|
Fruita CO | There was an open station 4430 around a dairy here for years, & it didn't look like that one either. Only one that was ever sold out of here. Somehow it always looked bigger than the ones with cabs. That is a nice tractor... |

God's Country, Iowa | I believe you could get the 40 series Deere's with a narrow front. Imagine a 4640 tricycle!! |

That's what I say. Going down the road is even worse at times. |

South Texas | Don't own one, but always thought the rarest were the JD 4650, 4755, 4760, etc. Quite a few south of here, in the valley. Couldn't have been that many built in the scheme of things. Pretty neat looking. |

I'm pretty sure that option was only available for the 4040 & 4240 (& maybe the 4440). |

SW Minnesota | Yeah, the 7210 is rated at 95 hp so that would be exactly the same size as a 4020. But I have owned both tractors at one time or another and as nice as a 4020 is, I much prefer this 7210. More hydraulic capacity, more gears to choose from and I would argue the torque curve on this engine is a lot better than the 4020. |

| Neighbor bought a pair of 4555 deers out of Mexico that were open station with 8 speed transmissions if I remember correct
|
|
| |
|
WC Iowa | probably 4455's.
|
|
| |
|
South Texas | No, probably 4555s like he said. Quite a few large frame open stations down there. |

Open station tractors you wouldnt think of
