I have a 400 and you have to turn the wheel a million times to get the front wheels to turn. I looked at a 420 and the turning radius seemed like it was tighter, but I dont know if it was only because the steering ratio is much quicker. I will check on that for ya:00000057:
Need some 400 information
I'm looking for a project tractor, and a 400 could be a possibility. From what I remember, it seemed to me that the 400 turning radius was not as tight as the 420 or 430's I used a long time ago.
Tractor data lists turning radius for 420/430 at 2.2 feet but no info on the 400.
Does anyone have a manual or spec sheet for a 400 that would be willing to look it up ?
Also I'd like to know if the later (79-82 ? ) 400 had tighter turning than the '75 -78 models ?
Were there any other changes from early to late 400's that you guys can think of besides the stripe and number color on the side of the hood ?
It's been a long time since my experience with these and I'd appreciate your help. Thanks

The 420,430 also have hand hydro control knob and right and left braking capabilities. The 400 didn't come with the posi-track button buy the right foot heel.

Took tractor out today, I marked the ground next to my left rear tire outside edge, I then turned steering wheel to the left all the way then proceeded to drive in a circle. that circle measured 8 feet across. Keep in mind that my tires are set wide,weights,chains and snow blower. Dont know if that will help you in your decision or not
