The other day I was poking around on google trying to figure out where the 4049M is produced and I noticed some unique features that make it different than our 4M models here in the states. 1) Most all 4049M’s seem to have the nicer 4R suspension seat with armrests. I know you can add this to a 4M, but it seems almost standard on the 4049M. 2) I see a lot of 4049M’s with the factory mid scv. I even saw one with the factory mid scv with a 400E loader. Once again, you can put the mid scv on a 4M, but it’s not easy.
Tractordata tells me that the 4049M as well as all 4 Series models come from the Augusta plant. I know all US compact tractors come from Augusta. Is there another compact tractor plant somewhere else that produces Deere compacts for the rest of the world? When you consider how much different the Euro spec machines are from ours and how many options they have that we don’t, it like there has to be another plant but I could be very wrong. Here’s a couple pictures for reference.
