My suggestion for your biggest tractor is an AGCO DT 240 or Challenger 665.

Thanks guys, I was thinkin' bout a Challenger MT665B but I dont think 240hp will do what I need done. (like the 45' field cultivator) I was maybe thinking about a small frame NH or CIH or maybe a MT700B

240hp tractor probably could pull 45 ft field cultivator. My dad's cousin was using his Case IH MX 240 on his 42 ft field cultivator.

I decided on a 8770. We may look at upgrading sometime soon.

be sure and post some pics, especially of the 4630, I've spent alot of hours in one and would love to see one on a display. You'll like the 8770, not my favorite Deere 4wd but pretty darn close.
