The 1010 was a Dubuque built model, same tractor as the 430 upright 2 cylinder that came before, just upgraded with a four cylinder. Deere didn't see the need to put a lot into this model as it was a stop gap to make the transition complete and the smaller tractor was a declining market at the time. 3010 4010 were good machines other than the bolt on PTO stub, really had to watch and keep the bolts tight and some farmers didn't make sure that the gear shift was engaged properly and destroyed the system by either jamming the shift collar, stripping the shift splines or bending the shift pin, total tear down to fix, the 20 series changeable shaft was a HUGE improvement. HOWEVER the 2010 ,that was a sweet running tractor but as our dealer told me when I worked there in high school, Deere hired the engineers in charge of it from Massey, total cluster, different from anything before or since from Deere. I know because Dad and I farmed with all of them, still have warm spot for the 2010, learned to do a lot of farming on the thing, that and an 88 Oliver, but another day
The worst john Deere tractor the 10 series almost bankrupted JD the entire engineer core that produced the series where fired from the engine to the differential was garbage
Should have another channel called littletractorpower lol. Nice find.
If it’s rolling in a field I want to film it.
We have a 1010 tricycle. It's a fun little tractor. Great channel!
Very cool. Thank you for watching.
I did a 100 years of John Deere Tractors paper for my senior paper and did a whole section on the New Generation Tractors.
That is neat. What is your favorite John Deere tractor?
Nice! We have one of these along with a 2020!
Very cool.
My grandfather, who owned a small farm in Jasper County, SC, thought me how to drive in the early 1970s on John Deere 1010!

I happen to have a 1010 crawler, for the size that it is it's a little beast, but it does have some attitude problems regarding starting.
awesome love vintage tractors
I can dig it nothing wrong with a little tractor power if there are 50 K of them out there maybe this will scratch my classic tractor itch
We had one.not worth a shit! It was a diesel never start in cold weather.
Reliable old iron.
They were built to last.
What are they worth now?
Muito bom
1010 was built at Dubuque not Waterloo.
Thank you. That was a mess up.
Cool tractor but long axles would have been nice for row crop versatility.
interman 77 this particular tractor is considered a "Single Row Utility" They made several different variants of the 1010.
It's has adjustable wheels. Why do you need long axles?
jlsmith6310 The adjustments in the rim only allow limited range unlike long axles.
and he still has his first tyres lol
I think just on the front left. All the rest look pretty good.
That's back when men were men! The lady is handing it pretty well too. You'd get a good workout riding that little guy.
You will take forever to get the job done
Back then it would have been good for a small farm or a second or third tractor on a bigger farm.
bigtractorpower O yes

Ehh, the 1010 was a bad apple indeed, idk about the rest tho.
The 2 cylinder models previous to the 10 series are what would have bankrupted John Deere.
