I've said for years that Deere equipment can't be that bad, if they were they wouldn't sell so many. But no one can build something as infallible as the Deere guys believe. The real strength of The Company is their marketing.
Fun fact: The Allis 7000 series cab was about 10db quieter then the soundguard when they both came out in 73. Albeit a small cab. If its paid for and working.....its a good tractor
I used to be that “Deere guy” when I was a kid but especially the last 10ish years I’ve become way less biased. We just always had Deere stuff on the farm I grew up around. Also being a Deere mechanic I see things Deere did well and not so well. They all have their good and their bad, no matter what color it is. In all honesty, I want some of every brand
Great video. You certainly know your brands and models. I’m first and foremost an IH guy but have a soft spot for antiques of all brands. On my little farm I’ve switched over to using Oliver. Like you, if I had deep pockets I’d have sheds full of tractors of all colors!
I’m not a farmer,I watch all your videos,you have huge knowledge and I love the way you say it as it is.Keep them coming and keep farming the old skilled way rather than sit back and watch a screen👍🏴🇬🇧
I'm going to get you a boat ore to stir the pot with. I enjoy your talk vids as I always learn something. I was raised on a Super 88, 1800B, and 1850, as well as IH 460, 350Utility, and 606. We presently farm with JD 4440, 4230, White 185 FWA and the old IH 460 which was totally restored about 15 years ago. As you can see we have a rainbow of equipment. All have their place in the operation. Keep them coming kiddo.
I’m an IH guy but, I like all tractors. I would love to have an Oliver 66 or 77 someday! I don’t understand people who think whatever they run is the only option and you have to agree with them.
Love the video. Not because of the bashing, but because of all the information you give out. I do have say there were parts that were hilarious. Liked the way you started it. With the wealth of knowledge you share, I could listen to you for hours. And anyone who gets upset because you take some time for yourself, they can suck on an egg. You deserve a break from everything, so I hope you have a great time and I'll still be here waiting when you get back.
One of my grandpa’s farmed with Allis Chalmers tractors, that’s why I like & own some. But I own other brands as well. I own A/C 1952 CA & 1960 D-15, 1947 Case VAC, 1/2 of a 1949 JD MT (the other half is owned by my wife), & a 1957 Massey Harris 333 with a front end loader. I like the look of the 1960s models of Cases, 730 etc. So I like all tractors regardless of brand. Tractors are neat machines & do great work for us humans. Thank The Lord we don’t have to use horses anymore!
An allis 8000 series would look good on your farm haha. Grew up with one around the farm and always enjoyed riding in the big cab. Could here the turbo 426 allis even through the muffler. Nothing looks better than those series of tractors. Really good solid tractors.
I agree with the vast majority of what you said. It was well thought out and explained so people could understand. While I do run a JD combine (because I couldn't find an Oliver or White locally, I do prefer Oliver tractors for the same reasons you stated. If someone else likes another color, I say "go for it". Doesn't affect me one bit. I know what "I" like and no one will change my mind. Good video.
I started watching your videos years ago before I started my own videos…. BECAUSE of the talking videos….. I enjoy the heck out of your outlook on stuff….
It sounds like I may be in the minority here but I actually like the sound guard cabs and I don’t know why maybe it’s just that they’re different. I grew up riding in a Allis Chalmers 70 to 80 and then my dad a Ford of similar vintage with a loader on it and then he sold both of those tractors and bought a Ford 8240 which I spent a lot of time in and I cab it was actually comfortable. I can’t tell you how many times I hit my head on the side window. My uncle owned a John Deere 4440 and then later on I think he owned a 7000 series deer with a loader on it.Growing up my dad always said that John Deere was just over priced green paint and that you could get the same tractor in a different color they would do the same job for a lot less.
Great video! Im a John Deere guy but not the Deere guy like youre talking about. My dream tractor is a Case 2390! They just looked mean and they were a beast in the field, followed by a spirit of 76. Im currently looking for a Farmall M that my grandpa owned. I agree with ya, I grew up running 10 and 20 series Deeres and my dealer is close and accessible. Great insight
Nice video Ethan, I was kind of caught off guard when you mentioned Ertl in Dyersville. Our local Agco, Deere, and Case IH dealer that we deal with are there, and when I was younger I would go to Ertl and get the little 1/64 IH tractors. But I never thought anyone thought anything of the town, you proved me wrong!
I grew up around IH. My grandpa had a 1256(cab), wht stripe 1066(cab), narrow front diesel 806. Loved those tractors. He later got a JD 4640 to replace the 1256. Used to farm for my ex father in law who had a Massey 2655(cab) and an Oliver 1955(cab) loved both of them to! Only complaint was the Perkins was so freaking loud you couldn't run with the windows open lol...... only JD I ever really loved the look of was the 5020, just always looked like muscle tractor to me! Great video, didn't mind the talking at all!
I agree with everything you said. I’m an IH guy but there’s at least one of every color that I like. We have red, orange, and both kinds of green. I actually just bought an Oliver 60 (my first Oliver) a couple days ago. Fun little tractor. Thanks for another video and keep up the good work!
I grew up on a G 1000 Vista and have one sitting in the shed still to this day with a locked up main bearing. There is no sound comparable to that tractor I love that thing, Excellent choice I hope to see you get one someday
All makes have pros and cons. I run alot of colors of equipment and want to fix all of it at one time or another with dynamite but thats just life on a farm. As for working on deere front hydraulic pumps i've found pulling the radiator the best way for me. Good travels and enjoy your time off.
Well said man, I’ll run anything no matter the color. On my list is a JD unstyled A I’d like a ford 9n as well for odd jobs and to do my food plots. My list of tractors could go on forever lol
I'm a John deere guy, two cylinder guy. I love how different they are and the sound is my favorite. However, an 88 diesel and 770 oliver are on my lists, a 300-350 400-450 farmall is on my list of someday tractors. I'm working on getting a 620 deere now tho lol. I like all brands. Just like the 2 cylinders more lol
I used to work for an old tobacco farmer and I'm pretty sure his big Oliver was a 1955 turbo though I think I'm not sure on that but that tractor sounded great and it was Green
Very good video. I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on other makes. I’ve always just wanted Olivers and that’s what I have. Hope you two have a great three day vacation with no videos and less stress .
The biggest thing I wish oliver would have done that could have carried on into the whites would have been if they would have put a foot throttle on the 00/50 or 55 series. That would have made a world of difference and if anything bigger then a 1600 would have ran the free floating collar like the 2050 and 2150 had. Keep up the good work boss👍
Funny you talking about the IH tractors. We had a 706,806 and 2 1086’s one had a western interior also which I liked. Loved em all… we had a 504 that wasn’t that bad everybody slams them, and multiple H’s and M’s and A’s early on… I don’t rag on anybodys favorite tractors and always try to keep an open mind, but I have ran across some real D bag Deere people… enjoyed the discussion keep up the great work OFB.💪🏻🇺🇸💪🏻
I didn't walk out the door. I did enjoy this vidio, and have enjoyed all of the getting the combine ready vidios. You and Shelly have a great vacation, you both deserve it.
30:40 yep, on the ledge on the 1086 cab my dad had me riding on it when I was little, and just last week I had a female friend of mine riding back there baling hay with me lol, thanks for that little round down memory lane
I’ve got a 4755 deere (love it) but I’ve also got a 1070 case, and have been around many other case/IH/deere tractors….. I still think case had the best cab of the 70-80s by a mile….
I’m an Oliver guy, always been an Oliver guy. Having said that back in the 60s and 70s when everyone moldboard plowed I always wished our 1850 had differential lock. That’s what made the 4020 and the 4430 with sound-gard cab drove it home. I think that’s when Oliver lost its edge.
Indeed buddy I like all transfers I do lot my work with my 1952 farmer M Or my 1944 LA case I'm old school Lot easy to work on them be safe out there your buddy from Nebraska
I always wondered why Deere offered only Syncro Range on the 4320. I wondered why PowerShift was not offered. We used Deere on our dairy farm: 2010, 3020, several 4020's, two 4320's. Corporations do a lot of nasty stuff. My father had Olivers in the late 1940's to 1950's. Dad said he moved from Oliver to Deere, only because Oliver parts were hard to get in Northern NYS. I guess Deere had better dealers. After my parents got out of dairy farming in the downturn of 1974-195, I went off to college to study engineering. Today, I personally prefer the engineering of Olivers. But I guess Deere has survived because of their strength in marketing and dealers. Many 4020's were sold. In Northern NYS, we had an ongoing debate of JD 4020 vs IH 806.
Ethan, great videos comments are spot on. Your comment about there’s the door, ya forgot the second part, don’t let it hit you in the ass on the way out. Keep it up. Lee
Should matter what you farm with as long as it gets the job done we owned Allis Chamlers but another good video enjoyed it have a good and safe vacation too
good for you and Shelly Please do it more and tell us less. Your a young man and your woman is very important. Spend time with family and your woman. I'm sorry I don't know marital status and keep a to your self
Enjoy your weekend without messing with any videos will be okay 👍. The only tractors I've ever drove when I was a kid growing up was Oliver 770, 77, a great uncle was in Alice Chalmers so I drove D17. At work they have a smaller John Deere tractors with the snow blower on the front for snow removal. I did notice where the one lever to control the shoot was you had to reach way behind you're back to operate the shoot.
Greatings from Clintonville, Wisconsin. The place where Deere killed the Wagner tractor. You are right on with your remarks! Four Wheel Drive (FWD) had the tractor and lost it to Deere.
I’m a open minded Deere guy. Our farm was also mostly red growing up. Had a 7120 and 9150 I spent a lot of hours in. Your Deere meme reminds me of the newer Case IH kids with thinking the quad trac was built/designed by Jesus himself! I think if you want cutting edge now, Agco Fendt seems to be leading in most areas. Where I live now though Deere is my closest dealer (if I was still farming).
I couldn’t agree more with your last comment about Deeres being a PITA to work on. Already had to do 3 hydraulic pumps, one on our 400(2020 industrial) backhoe, one on our 2510 and one on one of our 4020s unfortunately. And trying to get to the back bolt on a 4020 24v starter requires nothing short of a miracle to get out much less putting it back in. And forget trying to work inside the dash column, I sincerely hope you never have to do anything with the little pto actuator shaft on an 8 speed powershift if your boss has any. You need a stick magnet, 2 screwdrivers and a wrench to get the nuts put on after the washers fell of for the 5th time. It’s never taken me longer to screw 2 nuts on to a threaded part. After all that our old Farmall C and Cub feel like a dream to work on. I’d love to have a 77/Super 77/700 Diesel to rake and tedd hay with for the fuel economy and to spice things up. My dad thinks I’m nuts but the gearing looks perfect for those applications and there’s nothing like a smooth straight 6 to me.
My farm doesn't discriminate. As long as it's made in America. There's nothing more disappointing than a Czech or Italian Fiat P.O.S. Great job on video...
To me JD guys are just like Chevrolet guys. I like Chevrolet, but they haven’t done everything right. I have a John Deere in my bio picture, but it was gifted to me by my grandpa. If I could farm (I would give my sack to be able too) I would have whatever I could afford. All farm equipment companies have done good things and bad things. Good video 👍
Grew up with John Deere so I like them the best but being honest I like most all older tractor manufacturers. I’d collect em all really. I like to see the differences and pros and cons of them all. More fun to look at different colors than just one. Totally get where your coming from tho. They all have their good and bad differences.
I am like you Eathan as long as I am on a tractor I am a happy camper. I have been on Massey John Deere David Brown Oliver IH it never mattered what color it was it was a tractor and I enjoyed being on it.
I recall that the deere people came up with the saying in their dealer sales videos calling other makes (Off Brand Tractors.) That got deere fans using that same phrase to talk shit and start a fights back in the 90s,
enjoyed your "tractor talk"! Observation: I wear hearing aids and at times it is somewhat difficult to discern what is being said. Have you considered a microphone you could wear on your collar that would reduce the echo or exterior noise (like when you are in the combine...)?
Years back i worked for a cherry farmer. He had older John Deer tractors and heavy equipment. So I became kinda a John Deer fan. Then I started looking for my first diesel sub compact tractor. Did research on John Deer found out the only thing really John Deer on them was the color. I checked out ather brands and got a deal on a Mahindra. I am very happy with it. Been thinking about getting another bigger tractor. I started looking at Oliver tractors and wanting to know more about them I found your videos. You do a great job on your videos. Please keep it up.
You are correct the ford 9600 is a mean looking tractor. Ford made some hidden gems of tractors from 1960 to 1975 ? IH 806 an honorable mention and i always thought the D 21 was a sweet look
That’s all of my fucking neighbours if you don’t have john Deere your not farming. I told them fuck off I love Cockshutt and that’s what I have. I love oliver too but it’s hard to find them in Canada where I am. John Deere is fine but it’s too expensive for the budget right now. I love all brands of farm equipment but Cockshutt and Oliver is where my heart is
I grew up working on a farm with 20 plus Oliver and White. So like you Oliver and white is what I know. But I do have a Deere 4620 and 5525 farmall h,m,400D. Someday I will have Oliver's and White. I watch all your videos love your content.
Every manufacturer has its pluses and minuses. I’ve worked on them all and run them all. I enjoy and hate every single color depending on what I’m doing/fixing!!
Love this guy, he don't take nor give a quarter. 😆 I hate half ass fixes myself. I've seen so much ag equipment that has had stupid b******* done to it. Because of laziness or ignorance or both.
I aint too sure here but deere put side consoles on the 20 series tractors in 71? I can’t remember now or if that was just a “row crop” optioned tractor. The 4020 got the name because they were fuckin near bullet proof on a literal level. Im not a “deere guy” but i do like them tractors. ( in my opinion the 4440 was the best tractor they built). The levers seem fine to me on the soundgard but most of that stuff is personal preference. Also what made the “soundgard” tractors great wasnt the cab. The hydraulics were second to none the best, the motors were amazing, the transmissions were stout, and looked good. All just my opinion but thats me. I hate that stupid whiplash 8 speed powershift as well lol. The quad ranges were the best transmissions you could ask for.
Interesting talk vid👍I grew up IH n MF combines until CaseIH 2188. Our family have run Caterpillar, Oliver but have soft spot for AC especially neighbour run Gleaner. Don’t get me wrong I like JD GPS but most frustrating thing was when JD celebrate 100 years they NEVER mention Chamberlain tractors that were built in Australia which JD brought out. Chamberlain tractors were ok depending model, Perkins engine, later JD engine. Rare part non existent AC 9000 would be nice but you want Australian American style with Nuess German engine 86 series.
We farm with most with white tractors have 20 white n Oliver's. What I grew up with had a good dealer agco now still good people. Lots of ih deere ac , one neighbor was family was green to the bone , now there new Holland cheaper and better service. We have a deere combine n planter they do us well . I just bought a 2-185 with front assist seams to run well , the ugly it set outside all its life cosmetically UGLY lol needs seals tires cab kit ect it's a project like your 2-105 keeps me busy in the winter time and bought it cheap . Sorry wrote a book have a good vacation n relax. From turkey creek farms be safe n thankful
I'm with you on being a muscle tractor guy. The are sweet. My dad is a John Deere guy, my uncle is a IH guy, n they are dedicated. Myself I'm all over the board. I have a 9600 Ford, 4630 and 4020 Deere's I love all three. I've run all colors and once you use a tractor n get use to it then you can make judgement. I like white's but the shifting is goofy to me but I'd love a 2-180, and a IH 1468. I've been looking at Oliver 880s cuz I think the look nice but never ran one so idk how they are use. While I did say I love my 4020 it should be on 38" rubber and the powershift could be better.
Farmall 806 Oliver 5 bottom hydraulic reset plow. I am an Oliver guy but spent a lot of my teenage years on this rig. Smooth engine, plenty of weight but kinda clunky trans.
My buddy’s intending to bring his Ford 9600 and 5 bottom to the next 100 Years of Horsepower (Renner.)I think I’m gonna get it out in the demo field as well
The Harvester your probably thinking of is either the 1255 xl or 1455 xl. I run Internationals for the most part (I have a growing collection of 1206s, I think there's six plus a few parts tractors), I have a couple Olivet 1955s (for a project), I don't really care for Deere but a 435 would be fun.
😂 oh man I love listening to you talk about some of the stuff. You hit the nail on the head with the John Deere guys. Also I am extremely offended and hurt that you will not be filming your vacation and I plan to complain about it on the Internet😂😂
I would love an international 1455xl !! I would love TW Ford. MB Trac any model I would love to have also. I'm still attached to certain Soundgard cab JD models. Would like to have a white 6125 model . Used to be a JD all the way type of guy but over the last 15 years I've become a Meh whatever kind of a guy. They all do the job , they all have ups and downs.
good video. keep it up. the sts rotorey i was told ,was stole from versatile. j.d. was buying versatile in the 70's or early 80's . they hald off with loads of paperwork and blue prints. then backed out of buying the company and sat on it for years what i don't like now is we have two big jd and two big (case ih new holland) that control western minnesota and eastern south dakota.. i plant with a g1000 vista and a 8 row ih 800 early riser planter. i have a m670 supper gas that i put together a few years ago and i have a m670 diesel that is waiting to go in the shop .it's got bad baring in the motor. also a a4t1600 that i lost oil pressure on . it's hurt i'm hopping to redo this winter.hopping to find a external oil pump setup for it i guess that was a big problem for the 585 motor. have fun this weekend. will be looking for your next video
Deere tried a rotary back in 1957 the XCC-1 “Experimental Centrifugal combine”. They didn’t like how it performed in damp and muddy conditions and shelved the program. New Holland got wind of it and started their own experiments and development. While their secret combine was sitting in a shed on a farm the IH engineers snuck into the shed and completely documented the design and rushed back to their offices to rush their axial flow into production. New Holland sued and won over corporate espionage and the judge ruled IH to wait till New Holland released their combine first. Deere just waited like they always do and ran the walker machine as long as possible. The 9000 machines should have been a rotary machine in my opinion. Or at least had a option for either system like they finally did in the 60 series.
My main two horses are an Oliver 1850 and Farmall 856 narrow front. Both great tractors, couldnt choose one over the other. After running Minnes, ACs, Fords, Deeres, Cases, Farmalls and Olivers, All from the 60s/70s, I cannot see what all the fuss about the 4020 is. About the only one I liked less was the Case 930.
Ain't no flies on you young man. Must be your alma mater who my youngest daughter shares with you. By the way my 52 to30 quadrant lever is easy to reach. And enjoy that trip with that young lady. She is a cutie
Nothing wrong with talking vids. If a guy listens he might actually learn something.
I've said for years that Deere equipment can't be that bad, if they were they wouldn't sell so many. But no one can build something as infallible as the Deere guys believe. The real strength of The Company is their marketing.
Fun fact: The Allis 7000 series cab was about 10db quieter then the soundguard when they both came out in 73. Albeit a small cab. If its paid for and working.....its a good tractor
That doesn’t surprise me I spent a fair amount of time and in a 7000 series Allis Chalmers I don’t remember it being that bad
I used to be that “Deere guy” when I was a kid but especially the last 10ish years I’ve become way less biased. We just always had Deere stuff on the farm I grew up around. Also being a Deere mechanic I see things Deere did well and not so well. They all have their good and their bad, no matter what color it is. In all honesty, I want some of every brand
Every machine has points of ," That's a pretty cool idea", or more commonly " What were they on when they designed that????"
Great video. You certainly know your brands and models. I’m first and foremost an IH guy but have a soft spot for antiques of all brands. On my little farm I’ve switched over to using Oliver. Like you, if I had deep pockets I’d have sheds full of tractors of all colors!

You make the best farming videos by far because you show everything from spring preparation to harvest preparation. Great job!
I’m an IH guy but, I like all tractors. I would love to have an Oliver 66 or 77 someday! I don’t understand people who think whatever they run is the only option and you have to agree with them.

Oh heck yea a case tractor (I’m a huge case guy, but I bought a 4755 deere for the farming but I’ve got a 1070 and we’ve had many other cases)
Can confirm, that case 504 is a beautiful sound under load, we got 6 varieties on our farm
Nice video Ethan, I was kind of caught off guard when you mentioned Ertl in Dyersville. Our local Agco, Deere, and Case IH dealer that we deal with are there, and when I was younger I would go to Ertl and get the little 1/64 IH tractors.

Nice new tires on the back of that Oliver I'm a John Deere guy but I'd like green anything green
I grew up around IH. My grandpa had a 1256(cab), wht stripe 1066(cab), narrow front diesel 806. Loved those tractors. He later got a JD 4640 to replace the 1256. Used to farm for my ex father in law who had a Massey 2655(cab) and an Oliver 1955(cab) loved both of them to! Only complaint was the Perkins was so freaking loud you couldn't run with the windows open lol...... only JD I ever really loved the look of was the 5020, just always looked like muscle tractor to me! Great video, didn't mind the talking at all!
A 5020 is in my bucket list of a want to buy some day.
I agree with everything you said. I’m an IH guy but there’s at least one of every color that I like. We have red, orange, and both kinds of green. I actually just bought an Oliver 60 (my first Oliver) a couple days ago. Fun little tractor. Thanks for another video and keep up the good work!
It’s hard working for a Deere dealership and feeling the exact same way you do haha
I grew up on a G 1000 Vista and have one sitting in the shed still to this day with a locked up main bearing. There is no sound comparable to that tractor I love that thing, Excellent choice I hope to see you get one someday
Ethan you are by far my favorite UA-camr of all time because for the simple fact you don’t give a shit about what people think
All makes have pros and cons. I run alot of colors of equipment and want to fix all of it at one time or another with dynamite but thats just life on a farm. As for working on deere front hydraulic pumps i've found pulling the radiator the best way for me. Good travels and enjoy your time off.
Raised driving a JD 4020 and 4630. The first thing I learned to drive was a Oliver 550 diesel. Best small tractor ever and Oliver is my favorite
Hope your vacation time off was relaxing and refreshing, enjoying all the videos on combine repairs. Take care and enjoy life.
We rented a 1466 w 6-18" and plowed about 350 acres back in the late 70s - definitely a nice tractor
I love your talking videos I learn so much. Never stop.
Everything is ALWAYS so clean and organized.
Well said man, I’ll run anything no matter the color. On my list is a JD unstyled A I’d like a ford 9n as well for odd jobs and to do my food plots. My list of tractors could go on forever lol
I'm a John deere guy, two cylinder guy. I love how different they are and the sound is my favorite. However, an 88 diesel and 770 oliver are on my lists, a 300-350 400-450 farmall is on my list of someday tractors. I'm working on getting a 620 deere now tho lol. I like all brands. Just like the 2 cylinders more lol
I used to work for an old tobacco farmer and I'm pretty sure his big Oliver was a 1955 turbo though I think I'm not sure on that but that tractor sounded great and it was Green
Very good video. I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on other makes. I’ve always just wanted Olivers and that’s what I have. Hope you two have a great three day vacation with no videos and less stress .
Luv your content, hope you and the Mrs have an amazing weekend 👍
The biggest thing I wish oliver would have done that could have carried on into the whites would have been if they would have put a foot throttle on the 00/50 or 55 series. That would have made a world of difference and if anything bigger then a 1600 would have ran the free floating collar like the 2050 and 2150 had. Keep up the good work boss👍
Those 1455XL’s are really sweet. They look like tanks and sound awesome
Funny you talking about the IH tractors. We had a 706,806 and 2 1086’s one had a western interior also which I liked. Loved em all… we had a 504 that wasn’t that bad everybody slams them, and multiple H’s and M’s and A’s early on… I don’t rag on anybodys favorite tractors and always try to keep an open mind, but I have ran across some real D bag Deere people… enjoyed the discussion keep up the great work OFB.💪🏻🇺🇸💪🏻
I didn't walk out the door. I did enjoy this vidio, and have enjoyed all of the getting the combine ready vidios. You and Shelly have a great vacation, you both deserve it.
30:40 yep, on the ledge on the 1086 cab my dad had me riding on it when I was little, and just last week I had a female friend of mine riding back there baling hay with me lol, thanks for that little round down memory lane
I'm in awe! Great rant. Have a great vacation.
I’ve got a 4755 deere (love it) but I’ve also got a 1070 case, and have been around many other case/IH/deere tractors….. I still think case had the best cab of the 70-80s by a mile….
I’m an Oliver guy, always been an Oliver guy. Having said that back in the 60s and 70s when everyone moldboard plowed I always wished our 1850 had differential lock. That’s what made the 4020 and the 4430 with sound-gard cab drove it home. I think that’s when Oliver lost its edge.
Good stuff man , I agree all makes have there pro's and cons. Enjoyed it.👍👍👍👍
Indeed buddy I like all transfers I do lot my work with my 1952 farmer M Or my 1944 LA case I'm old school Lot easy to work on them be safe out there your buddy from Nebraska
I'm and Oliver boy as well, talk all you want!
I always wondered why Deere offered only Syncro Range on the 4320. I wondered why PowerShift
was not offered. We used Deere on our dairy farm: 2010, 3020, several 4020's, two 4320's.
Corporations do a lot of nasty stuff. My father had Olivers in the late 1940's to 1950's. Dad
said he moved from Oliver to Deere, only because Oliver parts were hard to get in Northern NYS.
I guess Deere had better dealers. After my parents got out of dairy farming in the downturn
of 1974-195, I went off to college to study engineering. Today, I personally prefer the engineering
of Olivers. But I guess Deere has survived because of their strength in marketing and dealers.
Many 4020's were sold. In Northern NYS, we had an ongoing debate of JD 4020 vs IH 806.
Ethan, great videos comments are spot on. Your comment about there’s the door, ya forgot the second part, don’t let it hit you in the ass on the way out. Keep it up. Lee
Amen to telling it like it is & thank U for this video my friend.
Should matter what you farm with as long as it gets the job done we owned Allis Chamlers but another good video enjoyed it have a good and safe vacation too
good for you and Shelly Please do it more and tell us less. Your a young man and your woman is very important.
Spend time with family and your woman. I'm sorry I don't know marital status and keep a to your self
Enjoy your weekend without messing with any videos will be okay 👍. The only tractors I've ever drove when I was a kid growing up was Oliver 770, 77, a great uncle was in Alice Chalmers so I drove D17.
At work they have a smaller John Deere tractors with the snow blower on the front for snow removal. I did notice where the one lever to control the shoot was you had to reach way behind you're back to operate the shoot.
Greatings from Clintonville, Wisconsin. The place where Deere killed the Wagner tractor. You are right on with your remarks! Four Wheel Drive (FWD) had the tractor and lost it to Deere.
I’m a open minded Deere guy. Our farm was also mostly red growing up. Had a 7120 and 9150 I spent a lot of hours in.
Your Deere meme reminds me of the newer Case IH kids with thinking the quad trac was built/designed by Jesus himself!
I think if you want cutting edge now, Agco Fendt seems to be leading in most areas.
Where I live now though Deere is my closest dealer (if I was still farming).
I couldn’t agree more with your last comment about Deeres being a PITA to work on. Already had to do 3 hydraulic pumps, one on our 400(2020 industrial) backhoe, one on our 2510 and one on one of our 4020s unfortunately. And trying to get to the back bolt on a 4020 24v starter requires nothing short of a miracle to get out much less putting it back in. And forget trying to work inside the dash column, I sincerely hope you never have to do anything with the little pto actuator shaft on an 8 speed powershift if your boss has any. You need a stick magnet, 2 screwdrivers and a wrench to get the nuts put on after the washers fell of for the 5th time. It’s never taken me longer to screw 2 nuts on to a threaded part. After all that our old Farmall C and Cub feel like a dream to work on. I’d love to have a 77/Super 77/700 Diesel to rake and tedd hay with for the fuel economy and to spice things up. My dad thinks I’m nuts but the gearing looks perfect for those applications and there’s nothing like a smooth straight 6 to me.
My farm doesn't discriminate. As long as it's made in America. There's nothing more disappointing than a Czech or Italian Fiat P.O.S. Great job on video...
Great video . You’re right on with your info. Have always been a case guy and Allis too.👍
To me JD guys are just like Chevrolet guys. I like Chevrolet, but they haven’t done everything right. I have a John Deere in my bio picture, but it was gifted to me by my grandpa. If I could farm (I would give my sack to be able too) I would have whatever I could afford. All farm equipment companies have done good things and bad things. Good video 👍
I like all tractors, my favorites being Caterpillars and Centaurs. My dream tractor being an RD8 or 1H series D8.
Grew up with John Deere so I like them the best but being honest I like most all older tractor manufacturers. I’d collect em all really. I like to see the differences and pros and cons of them all. More fun to look at different colors than just one. Totally get where your coming from tho. They all have their good and bad differences.
I am like you Eathan as long as I am on a tractor I am a happy camper. I have been on Massey John Deere David Brown Oliver IH it never mattered what color it was it was a tractor and I enjoyed being on it.
U r righ on u are Oliver man I a case ji that right j d tractor junk drive by any farm all u see hood up. U are spot on.
I would really like to own a farmall 1206 they are a great tractor
Pretty much nailed it Bud!
That's one reason I watch your vid's Farm Boy, You are You!!
He is right! Absolutely!
U are spot on
I recall that the deere people came up with the saying in their dealer sales videos calling other makes (Off Brand Tractors.) That got deere fans using that same phrase to talk shit and start a fights back in the 90s,
Best video so far, keep it up!
Good choice of tractor wish list
enjoyed your "tractor talk"! Observation: I wear hearing aids and at times it is somewhat difficult to discern what is being said. Have you considered a microphone you could wear on your collar that would reduce the echo or exterior noise (like when you are in the combine...)?
Love the video. Being true to yourself. I’m a Red guy, but Oliver would be a tractor I would use.
Great video thank you for sharing 👍wish you a great weekend 😀😀
Years back i worked for a cherry farmer. He had older John Deer tractors and heavy equipment. So I became kinda a John Deer fan. Then I started looking for my first diesel sub compact tractor. Did research on John Deer found out the only thing really John Deer on them was the color. I checked out ather brands and got a deal on a Mahindra. I am very happy with it. Been thinking about getting another bigger tractor. I started looking at Oliver tractors and wanting to know more about them I found your videos. You do a great job on your videos. Please keep it up.
Yes yours too just like the one you are setting on. The first cab on a 4020 was like a barrel , you could not hear for an hour.
You are correct the ford 9600 is a mean looking tractor. Ford made some hidden gems of tractors from 1960 to 1975 ? IH 806 an honorable mention and i always thought the D 21 was a sweet look
Great video. Ever tractor had a it's intended purpose.
That’s all of my fucking neighbours if you don’t have john Deere your not farming. I told them fuck off I love Cockshutt and that’s what I have. I love oliver too but it’s hard to find them in Canada where I am. John Deere is fine but it’s too expensive for the budget right now. I love all brands of farm equipment but Cockshutt and Oliver is where my heart is
I grew up working on a farm with 20 plus Oliver and White. So like you Oliver and white is what I know. But I do have a Deere 4620 and 5525 farmall h,m,400D. Someday I will have Oliver's and White. I watch all your videos love your content.
Every manufacturer has its pluses and minuses. I’ve worked on them all and run them all. I enjoy and hate every single color depending on what I’m doing/fixing!!
It's good to talk that's how you learn
Love this guy, he don't take nor give a quarter. 😆 I hate half ass fixes myself. I've seen so much ag equipment that has had stupid b******* done to it. Because of laziness or ignorance or both.
I aint too sure here but deere put side consoles on the 20 series tractors in 71? I can’t remember now or if that was just a “row crop” optioned tractor. The 4020 got the name because they were fuckin near bullet proof on a literal level. Im not a “deere guy” but i do like them tractors. ( in my opinion the 4440 was the best tractor they built). The levers seem fine to me on the soundgard but most of that stuff is personal preference. Also what made the “soundgard” tractors great wasnt the cab. The hydraulics were second to none the best, the motors were amazing, the transmissions were stout, and looked good. All just my opinion but thats me. I hate that stupid whiplash 8 speed powershift as well lol. The quad ranges were the best transmissions you could ask for.
Interesting talk vid👍I grew up IH n MF combines until CaseIH 2188. Our family have run Caterpillar, Oliver but have soft spot for AC especially neighbour run Gleaner. Don’t get me wrong I like JD GPS but most frustrating thing was when JD celebrate 100 years they NEVER mention Chamberlain tractors that were built in Australia which JD brought out. Chamberlain tractors were ok depending model, Perkins engine, later JD engine. Rare part non existent AC 9000 would be nice but you want Australian American style with Nuess German engine 86 series.
LOL, "you bring one more home and nobody notices"
We farm with most with white tractors have 20 white n Oliver's. What I grew up with had a good dealer agco now still good people. Lots of ih deere ac , one neighbor was family was green to the bone , now there new Holland cheaper and better service. We have a deere combine n planter they do us well . I just bought a 2-185 with front assist seams to run well , the ugly it set outside all its life cosmetically UGLY lol needs seals tires cab kit ect it's a project like your 2-105 keeps me busy in the winter time and bought it cheap . Sorry wrote a book have a good vacation n relax. From turkey creek farms be safe n thankful
One guy was telling me bout a 2 135 White he had, the big ol 4800 Hercules, would just lay it's ears back and PULL
@@dalekrueger1175 we have a 2150 with a Hercules as well as 2-135 n 2-155 they were known as the quite diesel 472 Cid I believe
Sorry the Hercules is 478 Cid
I'm with you on being a muscle tractor guy. The are sweet. My dad is a John Deere guy, my uncle is a IH guy, n they are dedicated. Myself I'm all over the board. I have a 9600 Ford, 4630 and 4020 Deere's I love all three. I've run all colors and once you use a tractor n get use to it then you can make judgement. I like white's but the shifting is goofy to me but I'd love a 2-180, and a IH 1468. I've been looking at Oliver 880s cuz I think the look nice but never ran one so idk how they are use. While I did say I love my 4020 it should be on 38" rubber and the powershift could be better.
You have to get a David Brown!!
Gotta love the sound of a 1455xl.
Console tractors started in 69 IH started in 62 63 with the 806
Farmall 806 Oliver 5 bottom hydraulic reset plow. I am an Oliver guy but spent a lot of my teenage years on this rig. Smooth engine, plenty of weight but kinda clunky trans.
My buddy’s intending to bring his Ford 9600 and 5 bottom to the next 100 Years of Horsepower (Renner.)I think I’m gonna get it out in the demo field as well
The Harvester your probably thinking of is either the 1255 xl or 1455 xl. I run Internationals for the most part (I have a growing collection of 1206s, I think there's six plus a few parts tractors), I have a couple Olivet 1955s (for a project), I don't really care for Deere but a 435 would be fun.
😂 oh man I love listening to you talk about some of the stuff. You hit the nail on the head with the John Deere guys. Also I am extremely offended and hurt that you will not be filming your vacation and I plan to complain about it on the Internet😂😂
I would love an international 1455xl !! I would love TW Ford. MB Trac any model I would love to have also. I'm still attached to certain Soundgard cab JD models. Would like to have a white 6125 model . Used to be a JD all the way type of guy but over the last 15 years I've become a Meh whatever kind of a guy. They all do the job , they all have ups and downs.
good video. keep it up. the sts rotorey i was told ,was stole from versatile. j.d. was buying versatile in the 70's or early 80's . they hald off with loads of paperwork and blue prints. then backed out of buying the company and sat on it for years what i don't like now is we have two big jd and two big (case ih new holland) that control western minnesota and eastern south dakota.. i plant with a g1000 vista and a 8 row ih 800 early riser planter. i have a m670 supper gas that i put together a few years ago and i have a m670 diesel that is waiting to go in the shop .it's got bad baring in the motor. also a a4t1600 that i lost oil pressure on . it's hurt i'm hopping to redo this winter.hopping to find a external oil pump setup for it i guess that was a big problem for the 585 motor. have fun this weekend. will be looking for your next video
Deere tried a rotary back in 1957 the XCC-1 “Experimental Centrifugal combine”. They didn’t like how it performed in damp and muddy conditions and shelved the program. New Holland got wind of it and started their own experiments and development. While their secret combine was sitting in a shed on a farm the IH engineers snuck into the shed and completely documented the design and rushed back to their offices to rush their axial flow into production. New Holland sued and won over corporate espionage and the judge ruled IH to wait till New Holland released their combine first.
Deere just waited like they always do and ran the walker machine as long as possible. The 9000 machines should have been a rotary machine in my opinion.
Or at least had a option for either system like they finally did in the 60 series.
My main two horses are an Oliver 1850 and Farmall 856 narrow front. Both great tractors, couldnt choose one over the other. After running Minnes, ACs, Fords, Deeres, Cases, Farmalls and Olivers, All from the 60s/70s, I cannot see what all the fuss about the 4020 is. About the only one I liked less was the Case 930.
Like the old boy used to say "They're all good when they're new. Mostly" lol.. I'm still partial to my old MF 184-4 diesel, wish I had never sold it.
Ain't no flies on you young man. Must be your alma mater who my youngest daughter shares with you. By the way my 52 to30 quadrant lever is easy to reach. And enjoy that trip with that young lady. She is a cutie
Well, Christmas time is coming up soon and he just gave us his Christmas list. Now who's going to play Santa Claus???
Nothing like an Allis Chalmers tearing it up in the feild 😉
