Now that's how it's done, walking the tractor brake and setting down the plow never having to throttle down. That's how we roll too. Great job my man,hope everything works out on the transmission for you. God bless 👍
Grew up on a open station 4430 just like that one. We still have and use it. Tiff old tractors! Use to pull everything with it. Even a 4 row tipper bedder. Love your videos Patrick. God is great!
@@johngreer8101 God is great! The thing I love most about the 4430 is the power to weight ratio. Far more power per pound than modern tractors. If you’re pulling something to deep with modern equipment then the motor pulls down, if you’re going to deep with a 4430 you loose traction instead of RPMs.
The resilience of a farmer can never be replaced. They All break and the old saying they dont make em like they used to. Bud of mine with a all green farm he always said those ivt's are nice but high draft loads keep you a powershift or a quad range. Amazing what everything costs now.
I have gotten accused of being anti tech. I do love the cool new gadgets. The precision of rtk autosteer and collection of data is amazing. But they had better start and work at my convenience otherwise they are just expensive lawn ornaments and unfortunately that has been my experience too. I really appreciate your side by side comparison of the major brands in your last few videos. Stay safe and good luck!
I’ve spent many cold fall nights nearly frozen to death on an open station tractor. You just don’t have much time to get grain planted. Fun times. 👍🏼🇺🇸
Back when we grew a lot of wheat the drill didn’t never stopped running for lunch. Someone would run it while the other operator ate and then they would switch back out. Drill had to be moving all the time.
Patrick you just need one of those old weather cabs we put on the tractors when I was young, in the winter. I pulled the heat from the engine to the drivers seat. It would be cold without it on and burn you up with it on. 😂😂
Patrick next time you have to drill hard metal go buy you some expensive carbide bits. Start off with a small bit of, maybe a #40 or 1/8 bit and use some coolant or cutting oil to keep the bit cool . Then step up the hole bigger until you’re hole is the size you need . I forgot , use a slow drill speed too , bit cuts better and won’t burn up bits as fast .
It will be interesting to see what the yield difference is between the deep ripped land and the chisel plowed land next year. You may have unintentionally gotten a test plot comparison to watch. Possibly a money saver. It's not bushels per acre, it's $s per acre that matter, as you well know. I've chiseled with an almost open cab Ford 9600 before. Just enough cab to keep the sun off, but not enough for a comfortable temp or keeping the dust out. 👍👍 To you getting it done!
My grandpa and his dad farmed with an open station tractor. When it was go time they took turns operating so the tractor never stopped for breakfast or lunch, they would just trade out. They put a lot of hours on the tach annually. The old equipment doesn't give up very easily.
Man I hope you can get that 8970 going! I know that open station 4430 had to be a cool ride. Good to see the ole girl putting in some hard work though…
If you need any parts for your equipment on the fence row or 50 year old tractors, come to Pavo and visit T&H Sales and Salvage. Jonathan will fix you right up. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us.
@@mississippifarmer4301 can’t get another spring (the long arm we were trying to drill) so options were 1. point that was slightly shallower or 2. spring with no point that is even shallower.
@@PatrickShivers I can understand al that, but it seems moving it on down the road would have been a better option than letting it sit. I hope you can get it going though because they are cool, old tractors and it should out pull the one you were going to use.
@@ethacker6682 still hooked to peanut picker. I’m helping my brother-in-law harvest his peanuts. When it’s to wet or he doesn’t have some ready to pick I go back to getting my wheat land ready. Yesterday I got the 4960 and the picker serviced up and then ran the 4430 until time to start picking peanuts. Dad ran it while I was servicing and then got back on it when I went to go pick.
I have spent many an hour on a cabless tractor working land in the heat and cold, never has particularly bothered me but you sure hope on these cold evenings when you get off there is something warm waiting at the house. Looks like someone used your plow to root rake some new ground if you managed to snap off one of those shanks. Pretty sure you can still get brand new chisel shanks from Athens Plow, they're still building the same chisels that Noah used after the flood. Got an old 7 leg King Plow myself that I know has been on this same farm since the 60's and it has been over many an acre. Got a hitch on mine, used to have a 14 hole John Deere B drill with a powerlift that we planted small grain with all hooked together.
Patrick, I admire your spunk, but tow that old J-D to a sight for fixing later, Now rent a big tractor from another farmer or dealer and get to ripping !
If I had a hat on I’d take it. Well done sir!

Hello, Patrick! Wise words about old but worthy equipment that "save the day"...
Great video as always. If it get too cold for you just holler and I'll come run it for you lol. When I saw your Dad brake turn I got chills!!

Love watching those old tractors working!!
Love the old stuff, American engineering at its best. Would love to run that open station for a day.

Never heard it called a scratcher , great videos keep them coming

@@carsonharn9246 Dad and I traded off during lunch today on this 4430
I have spent many days on an old open cab 1466 IH pulling a chisel plow just like that.
👍😎🚜🚜🙏🇺🇲🙏
Keep that old iron moving!!🚜
I keep 2 4020's around for the same reason. Might not pull a 12 row planter , but it will pull the old AC 6 row sitting under the shelter.
soon as you said drill that , i was thinking welder . seen this many times

@@jackweeks8099 8970 is a no go. 4430 has been rolling a couple days now
@ well that sucks, but, it is what it is! What would the 4960 think of the v ripper? I’m sure it wouldn’t like it too good.
@ would need a smaller ripper to use 4960. Could hook the chisel to the 49 when I get done picking my brother in law’s peanuts
@ i didn’t know you were still picking his. I figured you couldn’t pull the ripper as deep as you wanted with the 49.
Farmin like 1985 😂
Patrick here in south east Georgia we actually run a chisel plow or a ripper roller attach to the grain drill

Chiesel plow is making the 4430 work.I see it has no Sound Gard Body.
@@generationll most work it’s done in years. We usually just plant some food plots with it, rake hay, and run some augers.
Put it in the ground! You can still see top of the points.
Good job, just pull a Brillon cultpacker behind at the same time and then plant. All done
I don't do much anymore but all my tractor are open that the way I like it so I can listen to what happened
Drilling new holes,the point is gonna sit higher,not going in the ground??
@@mississippifarmer4301 can’t get another spring (the long arm we were trying to drill) so options were 1. point that was slightly shallower or 2. spring with no point that is even shallower.

I guarantee grandpa was smiling
Why was the 8970 just parked and left out in the weather for so long?

Yes sir
Brother I wish I was your neighbor I help ya out!
When welding tempered steel use 7018 rod it doesn't crack as easy or use a stainless rod
@@terrytate6006 thanks for the recommendation
You're dead on!! Keep old tractors and plows because you will need them at some point...
Think of all the farms paid for by 4430's and 1066s.

@@JB-rs3gi planning on working the cows in early December, video will follow
Did you consider not fixing the John Deere?
@@brycekirby1567 no. I would have to replace it immediately with another tractor the same hp as it. cheaper to fix than to replace.
