This is a good question and one I've thought about but didn't get a chance ask yet. I assume because it has less capacities, i.e. 3pt lift, hydr. pump, etc.. For instance. The rear PTO lift is like 870lbs @ 24" for the 790 and 2200lbs @ 24" for the 4300 and possibly for the 4200 too. ....

I am sort of perplexed also. I have a 1993 jd970 and I am sort of partial to that model. At the time the specs showed 2000# lift capacity two feet behind the links. Why does the newer 990 show only 1500# with 7 more hp? The 4400 is comparable to mine in horsepower but I couldn't get as big of tires with a 4400.
Is that just the way it is? was the 4000 line design criteria changed to match a competitors line? Maybe lift capacity ratings were changed from raw hydraulic ability to a combination of tractor stability on different grades? That would explain the perceived lower center of gravity on the 4000s and the movement of the gas tank to the middle of the tractor from the rear where mine is. Dont know, I should worry more about how I am going to pay for my next JD. ....
