This is what I can make of it.

If it has a C after the number it is a cab model.
Just a number on the tractor, it is a basic tractor.
R series tractors are more deluxe.
U series tractors even more deluxe and newest model. I really want to see one of these in person.

Sorry that I don't know more, but I am just a guy that has been looking at them also. Hopefully one of the dealers that visit here will give us more info.

The first 2 numbers are the horsepower rating. For example, a 4344 is a 43 hp tractor. The last two I can only partly tell you. A tractor ending in 44 is a HST model, whereas a tractor ending in 40 is a regular shift tractor.

So, a 4344 is a 43 hp tractor with HST tranny.

I believe that all the R series have 44 at the end of their numbering and if it is an HST model, it ends in HST, like an R4944 or a R4944HST. Montana Tractors Tractors-Agricultural from Montana Tractors Can't remember to bet on, but that is what is on the website.
