Overview

Manufacturer

John DeereReference

SpeedMatch option allows a maximum speed to be set and full pedal travel used to achive that speed. LoadMatch option prevents the tractor from stalling during heavy loads. The MotionMatch option enables the acceleration rate to be set to fast or slow.Reference

The 430H was also available with an all-fuel engine or LP-gas engine. All 430V tractors were built with gasoline engines.Reference
