Western Iowa		For 80 acres I would probably just find a nice later model 4430 for under 20k and keep the rest of the budget for something else or keep it in the bank. I know it doesn't take much more cash to get a 4840, but hear me out..........

A 4840 is an obvious choice of the 3 you listed, but why would you want all that weight out in the field if you don't need it? Ranks right up there with 250-300hp fwa tractors with 12 row planters on a 320 acre farm. with 0-2% slopes....... I really don't care how someone else spends there money, but it is counterproductive IMO to plant with a heavier tractor than you need. The cost to you will be more than just the cost of the tractor.
