What model today is equivalent to a the 3930 and 3910

They are not really equivalent at all. The 3910 were in the low 40's PTO horsepower, the T4020 is over 50hp.t 4020
That was exactly my point, with a 3910 things work the way they should and it's easy to switch Cat 1 and Cat 2. Try dealing with one of the "modern" New Holland's that come only with fixed Cat 2 balls on the lift arms and top-link and they give you a few bushings to use for everything Cat 1. First off, the width of the ball in the top-link is too wide to fit between the mast of many Cat 1 implements. The balls in the lift arms are thicker also, and sometimes you can't get the lynch pin into the implement so you have to change to longer pins on the implement. I've got a 35+ year old White/Oliver that's easier to switch from Cat 2 to Cat 1 and hook up than the new tractors; it works like the 3910, pop the balls out or use bushings with no problems. On the 3910 you can work the position control while standing behind the tractor and hooking up. Try doing that on one of the new open station tractors; not so easy. I could go on about the location and ease of use of the draft/position controls but I think you get the picture.On my 3910 you just pop the balls out to switch between Cat I or II, it is not a problem or hassle at all, or use the Cat II balls with sleeves for Cat I.
workmaster 45 or 55 is the same from new holland
New Holland would be very happy if that were true.
