I grew up riding on the armrest of a 4755 first tractor I learned to drive spent many hours behind the wheel of it after these old 2 wheel drives will always have a special place in my heart
The exact same here I rode with dad discing then I got old enough that I started discing running wagons and grain carts I loved that tractor now that I’m farmin my own I will buy another 47 55 or 60
Love to see more videos of equipment from this era
Older equipment always does the best job.
I am French and passionate about agricultural machinery, you post very good vidéos on machines and tractors we have never seen in France like this 4955 2 wheels drive.
Thanks for the time that you pass to built these videos. Great
At seven minutes it was clear how the JD 4955 just make it back in time at the combine to unload, big two wheel drive tractors have just a look of it's own, thanks for posting this great video
The combine tank is often right on the brink of being over full each time the cart is unloading. Lots of racing to the combine.
This tractor is a pure' gold!
Thank you for watching.
Love the 2wd tractors. really nice video as always!
2wd HHP tractors sure do stand out.
Another great. Harvesting video. The 4955 wasn’t even sweating when it was pulling a full grain cart.
It’s a tough tractor. Thank you for watching and commenting so often. It is appreciated.
They are such reliable workhorses !!
Brilliant video,nice to see a two wheel drive tractor doing some heavy pulling
It was neat that find a 2wd 495. Thank you for watching.
Another great video!! I love the 4955 it's one of my favorite tractors. Along with the 4440
I am a 4440 fan too.
Machinery good condition, nice farmland. Another fine BTP presentation.
Thank you for watching.
Nice to see a little older tractor. We here in Sweden have a bm 650 that we restored not so long Ago. keep up the great work man always puts a smile on My face when i see a New video
Thank you for watching. Congrats on the tractor restoration.
My current neighbor has one of these. Well, maybe, I haven't seen it in the field in 2 years though it was not being used very much for the last 4 or 5 and they did pick up a much newer JD(the long slopey hood series from just a few years ago) so maybe they traded it in now. I grew up going to school/good friends with his son, he picked it up in the mid 90's as a big tractor for his growing dairy farm. Specifically to pull a new, very large, pull type Gehl forage chopper. I know MFWD was considered superior for a long time now, but it was really not needed for running big PTO type work at harvest time. That's why you can find so many 2wd versions of tractors from JD and Case going into the 80's and even early 90's, not everyone was buying big tractors to use for pulling tillage tools and it was a significant cost savings for the time to skip the MWFD, not to mention maint. costs and tires over the life of the tractor.
Nowdays things like forage harvesting has become quite specialized so the vast majority of farms either upgraded to the newer self propelled units or hire it in.
The 2wds are neat to find. The last big 2wd was the 8225R.
this is one of the coolest lookin 2wd tractors ever and with the duals on it just sets it off, cheers 🏴
Love that you keep finding these. So many memories.
It’s fun finding the classics. I filmed a 2wd 4560 this fall as well.
Simple tractor not a lot of electronics to worry about. There are quiet a few big 2wd tractors around my area in south georgia. Awesome job!
Cool. It seems that the 2wds are popular in peanut and cotton country.
I leaned how to drive stick shift in Our 4430. I would not trade those memories for the world
Everybody spread the word and let's get Bigtractorpower to the 100k mark! He's close!
Thank you. I appreciate your support and enthusiasm. The channel is inching toward the big 100K mark.
Enjoyed that video I like those old tractors like that
2wd models like the 4955 are always neat to find.
we ran a mfwd 4960 for at least 2 decades until we updated tractors to an 8130. Loved running that tractor had a lot of horsepower and wish we could have kept that tractor as a backup if nothing else but we decided to sell it when we bought the newer one.
What jobs did you do with your 4960?
bigtractorpower it was mainly a tillage tractor as we don’t own our own harvest equipment but in the last year we had it we put green star in it and were able to plant wheat with it. I also used it a ton keeping our county roads in better shape then our county did at the time
Thank you BTP. Two wheel drive tractors is a small farmers choice. All the 4955 i see are front wheel assist nice to see one without it.
I like finding the big 2wds. I have a 2wd 4560 filmed this fall as well.
You are right.
There is something about turning around at the ends and seeing that big front ribbed rubber guide your way.
@Leonard Carr yep. The original Zero Turn machine.
The farm I work on has an 8220 two wheel drive I’m not sure how rare the 2 wheel drive 8000 series were but I like it when mowing stalks you can just hit the brakes and turn right around
Wow that’s neat. A 2wd 8220 is on the rare side. I am a big fan of 2wds 8220s.
The 55 and 60s were the last series to offer 2wd for every model. The 8000s could only have 2wd on the 8100 and 8200. The 8120 and 8220 could be 2wd. After that only the 8130, 8225R and 8235R could be ordered as a 2wd. The 8235R was the last HHP 2wd. The current 8245R is only available at fwa.
Great video I love these older deere tractors. I'll take anything that ends with 40 50 55 60 over anything that ends with R any day
All good tractors. I filmed a 2wd 4560 in corn harvest this year as well.
Deere dealers saw the 4955 in Palm Springs in January 1989.4955 set some Nebraska Tractor test records.Up until 1999 Deere made a 200hp row crop tractor
The 4955 is a modern classic.
Thanks for the video. Every time I see a combine I think of last week video with the Claas that machine was eating some corn up.
man nice to see some green equipment been combining corn with my distant cousins all day they have all red equipment first time being in a combine and even driving it for a little while
Thank you for watching. What did you think of the red combine?
I really don't know considering it was the first one i'd been up close to but once you have the basic controls down its pretty simple
That’s a cool tractor to see. Did not know you could get a 2wd 4955.
Awesome video 👍. Love the Green.✌🚜🇺🇸🚜
It’s nice classic Deere. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Much enjoyed your filming of this operation. TYFS
Thank you for watching. It was fun to get to film this classic.
We had a 4755 2wd up till 2013 when we bought a 7200R that 47 never ever got stuck 2wd and it easily pulled our disc grain cart and two 450 DMI wagons. The 7R does all this better but it sucks as a silage chopper doesn’t turn as sharp and for some reason can’t handle it aswell
I like the ole two wheel drive tractors like the 30 40 55 series. In my opinion
Me too. 👍
Very good video. Thanks
Thank you for watching
Awesome video we run a 4640 and a 6030 on our grain carts
Wow. Very cool. I want to film a 6030.
The front of the tractor looked like the front of my JD 111 Lawnmower, lol, but its cool to see the old guys working... And the tractor too, lol, awesome video my friend, gets me more excited for fs19! I thought i had Notifications on for you, well i do now!
That cart is in good shape for its age
👍
I've seen quite a few John Deere combines on your channel. One thing that stands out to me is the unloading auger has a 90° elbow where it swings out. How does the grain around that elbow? My limited knowledge of augers tells me that they can't bend inside the tube. Thanks Big Tractor Power
Dan, there are some things in this world we have no alternative than to use witchcraft on!
Nice tractor and great information. I wish that you could also give the weight in tonnes as a lot of your subscriber's are in Europe where bushels are not commonly used. Keep up the great vids.
Thank you for watching. I will have to look at a conversion cart on the numbers.
buenas tardes me gustan los videos pero.....me gustaria que siguieran todo el proceso que sigue hasta la siguiente preparacion de la tierra para la siguiente siembra, buenos videos sigan asi.
Realy nice catch!!
Great video also great equipment
Thank you for watching.
Awesome Video I Like!!
It was a nice classic to get to film.
Old American horsepower is hard to beat
👍
We have a 4555 like that
Very cool. I have always liked the 4555.
Windows open? The AC must not be working right? I wouldnt want all that dust if I could avoid it.
The air went out as I was filming. You will notice some clips have the windows closed. The air was plugged up with dirt and they cleaned it out and got the air going. Then it quit again. They will do a good service after harvest. The other tractors on the farm are working on tillage.
I’m still wondering how you could keep your windows open when it’s so dusty combining

My uncle has the same grain cart and pulls it with a case ih 7230 magnum.
Very cool. I just filmed a 7230 on a J&M grain cart.
Good information 💪👍
Thank you for watching.
Nice!
Thank you for watching and commenting.
We always got by with 2 wd.
All we ever had and we farmed some steep hills
Can someone explain the difference between front wheel assist and 4wd? I know 4wd tractors usually pivot turn but other than that what is the difference?
Great question. I will make a video to answer that.
hmmm this farm looks awefully familiar... maybe its not but something isn't right :P
Muy bueno che
How many bushels is this particular cart
640 bu.
Add dirt road what ifs please
???
Like.
Wait a minute...i thought the 4955 had the exhaust out the cab side? Not the hood.
junglist Shawn only in Europe where Deere did not lauched the 60 series. There was 2 versions of 55 series in Europe, first with the exhaust and air cleaner on the hood just like the american 55 series and then the 55 series with the engine air intake inside the hood and the exhaust on the right hand side cab post wich was equivalent to the american 60 series. 60 series Deere in the US and second version of 55 series in Europe I think where introduched with intercooler and Tier 1 emmision level.
👍👍👍👍
Jesus has a great summary. This winter I will do a 30,40,50,60 series this winter.
bigtractorpower thanks Jay!
I assume a 640, holds 640 bushels???
Yes. 600 bu 40 series.
Should probably get one more grain cart. Unless their going move the trucks closer to him as he goes further down the field.
He would not like that wagon if it was full i'll tell u that !!!!!!!!!!! just say'en !!!!!!!!!! and hope it don't rain!!!!!!
Needs more front weights and front tires with more tread.
Tread doesnt matter on tires that dont have torque applied to them
It does for steering...watch the video again and you’ll see the front tires skidding when the wheels are turned tight.
They're gonna skid when you turn pulling that cart, not much you can do except use your brakes to help
Never had wheels skid when pulling a heavy loaded cart so must be a front weight issue.
Dang newer combine and can’t fix the he ac in the tractor.
The AC went out in the field. If you look in certain clips the air is working and the windows are closed. They fixed the air by cleaning out the filters but they needed to keep rolling.
4955 engine sounds mean
👍
