Buy the 4840, pocket the extra that would have otherwise been blown on the 6030, or hearing aids for the 45/4620. 6030s are cool, but expensive to work on and wont hold up as well as a 4840, and cab is miserable in comparison.

Sell the 730, replace with 1850 Oliver or 3010-4020 if you have to stay deere.

Sell the 8N, replace with 600 or 800 Ford, S55/550 Oliver or 135 MF.

The 730 and 8N are fun collector tractors, but you'd be better off selling them and getting a much more usable tractor to replace it. The 1850 Oliver should cost the same or less, and the 8N upgrades shouldnt cost much.

JMO, would rather upgrade the two existing and add a 4840 than keep the two existing and get something fancier than a 4840.

4840 is a good value because no 540 PTO and 2wd only and the large size kinda weeds down the potential market considerably so they are usually one of the cheapest sound guards besides a 4630, and they are way better than a 4630.

7010-7080 Allis are good tractors (dont buy a 7000) and due to the mediocre cab, sell fairly cheap. You could have a decent pair of those for what one 4840 will cost.
