That blue and white knob controls how much wheel slip to allow before engaging the draft control which will lift the 3 pt hitch to slightly raise the plow out of the ground.
This serie of "how to operate" is fantastic! For people who are not familiar with this (like me), it's hard to find information like the one you provide. ;) Keep the vids coming, they are awesome!
Good job on this video. I'm sure a lot of people that have never operated a tractor learned quite a bit! One thing that I believe might be of interest to the general non-farming public, is how much the tractor weighs, how much PTO horsepower it has and the difference between PTO horsepower and drawbar horsepower. Also, the non-farming people might be interested to know that ballast is used for extra traction. Thanks again.
Except it had the left hand reverser/shuttle so the ranges were the same as that but the other gear selector was just 1-4 no forwards and reverse just numbers. I think park was in the ABCD ranges
Awesome. ive operated vintage stuff. a massey 135, a case 14 a few other pieces such as that. this overall is similar BUT far more advanced. if that makes any sense. cept on mine I cant change gears w/o stopping first.
The little lever next to the seat with the flip-up button is the 3 point hitch, forward is lower, all the way back is raised. The other levers, the SCV's (remote hydraulics that have hoses that plug into the back of the tractor) control various functions depending on what implement you're pulling and how you have it hooked up. For instance, on a spreader one lever might control opening and closing the gate, and the other set of hoses might operate the floor slats. The same levers might move the twine tubes on a round baler and open and close the rear gate on a round baler, or swing the hay mower left or right and raise or lower the mower cutterbar. On a rake one set of SCV's might raise and lower the rake, and the other fold and unfold the rake. All depends on what you hook to it and how you hook it up (for instance you can swap the sets of hoses around and now the lever that say folded the hay rake might raise/lower it now, and the lever that raised and lowered it before might fold and unfold it. Usually guys have a preference for how they hook stuff up so that the lever closest to them gets used the most (say to raise and lower a mower at every corner) and one farther away does something that is used less often (like folding/unfolding). If you pull a pair of implements, like say a disk and a crumbler basket, you'd typically have 3 or even 4 sets of hoses... generally you'd want the raise/lower of the disk and basket on the front levers or ones closest to you, and the fold/unfold hoses hooked to the SCV's controlled by the levers behind the front ones, or further away, since you only use those when you unfold when you get into the field to start working, and then when you're done to fold everything up to go down the road, where the raise/lower you use each time you get to the end of the field.

The lightning bolt thing is to warm the tractor up(warms the glow plugs)you hold it there for a few seconds and then rotate it all the way and it'll start easier
I realize your question is old. However, I have a 7400. I don't think mine makes any different or growling noise around the transmission area. That I've picked up on
I'm from a farming family but I'm a girl and my dad said its a boys job so I never got to drive a tractor even though Iv always wanted to be a farmer. I'm going to do a tractor test soon with a Johndeere 6400, do you put the clutch down when you move the gears to A B C & D but the numbers you can move without using the clutch? I would love to prove my dad wrong by passing the test, thank you :)
Wow that sucks what is your Dad from the Stone Age or something?? Some of the best equipment operators are girls/women! I've heard several guys on the Hay Talk forums mention they prefer to hire girls or women because they don't abuse the equipment and are more conscientious operators than boys or young men. My daughter's 12 I've had her driving the tractor (with me riding with her) since she was about 6. She's been driving the pickup and trailer around the farm for about that long too. She's MUCH better at it than her boy cousins! Tell your Dad to join the 21st century already LOL:) Later! OL J R :)
I've hit one brake when thinking I was hitting both,. It gets your attention quick
Yes, I forgot to include that. The tractor will shift itself if you do not use the clutch from going from neutral to first in any range.
That's what I thought. 👍

Great video man! I'm starting a farm job in a few weeks and this really refreshed my memory.
Yes I agree with you. I love the accelerator pedal.
I think we used to have one of these but most of my childhood was spent in a 7410. Very similar.
Except it had the left hand reverser/shuttle so the ranges were the same as that but the other gear selector was just 1-4 no forwards and reverse just numbers. I think park was in the ABCD ranges
Troy Peel yes that sounds right,a couple weeks ago i learned how to run a John Deere 7410 it's pretty simple and fun it had a power shift
Can i put the reverse or drive forvard first and then put t in a gear?
ok question what would it be if it wont go into reverse like it gose in it but it wont start backing up what could it be reply asap
could u make a 76 how to drive video
How many hours?

Around 60
I'm looking at a 7400 right now... just wondering what it looks like
can you make video where you show how the hydraulics levers works, and what each lever do? :)

How does the hitch work?
What's different about the power quad transmission?
i think like powershift?! maybe.. so that means u dont use clutch from 1-6 gear but u use clutch 1 to n or park or to 1 reverse. i think not sure tho
Automatic
So as you lift up the clutch do you press down on the foot throttle?
no it will start moving by itself and you can then push the throttle :D
The lightning bolt thing is to warm the tractor up(warms the glow plugs)you hold it there for a few seconds and then rotate it all the way and it'll start easier
The lightning bolt thing is the accessory position
Hi could you do a video on the 6600 if not do you have any advice on driving it
we have a jd 6600 with a front loader
could u make a 76 drive vid like how to
On a 7410 do u have to push in the clutch to put it in reverse??
no in the series 10 you dont need to push in the clutch
the lightning bolt figure on the key ignition panel is the accessories part it turns on the radio and other things
Curious, does your 7400 make a growling noise near the back (transmission area) when idling?
I realize your question is old. However, I have a 7400. I don't think mine makes any different or growling noise around the transmission area. That I've picked up on
Make a vid with the loader on?
When it comes time for you to buy or sell your equipment. Call Lide Equipment.
I've never driven a tractor older than a 8210.... on our 8245r, and 7230r its 12.5mph

+???? M Tulloch Yes you're right on. Have to use the clutch to shift the ranges but don't have to use it to shift between 1 2 3 and 4.
You have to tests for tractors? Over here in northen Ireland you just apply for license and you get it

Another great video! Can you shift without pressing the clutch with a powershift?
Also pretty sure i still have a VHS on the 7000 series tractors
Auto turns on/off at 12.5 mph. On the newer tractors at least.
how many cows do you milk?
auto 4wd is when you lower the 3 point hitc it ingade the 4wd automaticly
nice video
hey can u make a video on how to operate a john deere 7200
I would, but we don't have a 7200, and I don't know anyone who has one either :(
oh thats okay can u make a full video of harvesting corn or something
Yeah, I've got the footage. Just haven't had the time.
yeah these types of tractors are very easy
h said pretty simple right? like 12 times in the making of this video.
I'm 12
I’m 13
What no a/c but cruise control.lol
could u make a 76 drive vid like how to
