@@Doodlesthegreat thats so crazy, saw a docu about a farmer who had serious complaints and issues with Deere cause of the fact that he has always tow his combine to a certified mech to check it. Horrible for everyone who has to make money for a living with it. In Germany where I live, a lot of very old combines from the former GDR are still around, only because they have absolutely no electronics and can be maintained for a good price.
When you make something idiot proof, all you do is create a smarter idiot. Of course it doesn't help that these days stupidity is rewarded with big settlements
At Mecum Auction a few weeks ago. A 1960 440 with Pilot Control, bidded up to $38,000 an still didn't make reserve price. Probably eight times the cost of a new one in 1960.
Many farmers are suing boycotting Deere for not allowing customer to troubleshoot repair new farm and industrial equipment. CAT is just as bad. "Right to repair act" being ignored . Dealer charged me $975 just to come plug in a computer scanner (which no one can buy) . Not good. Deere does not have NOS parts before 1990s either . I can't get parts for my 1994 690e excavator Case and Komatsu both have self diagnostics and sell scanner to owners.
Worked for the IPSD division of CAT. Got the impression they only care about the first user of the equipment. No built-in capability to be able to overhaul engine units when worn-out. At one point they were making more profit on spares and after sales than actually building engines
I heard about this. And it's damn greed. They get away with it because we no longer know about the power of a boycott. If everybody didn't buy anything John Deere, right down to small lawn mowers, then they'd start treating the farmers and others buying that equipment with respect and put a stop to their greed. We need to learn about the power of boycotting again and put it into action. That's the only power we have against these big corporations.
I have a 440 backhoe tractor and a 440 crawler with a 6 way blade, there cool machines being made so early on in john deere industrial lineup, but they really are pitiful power wise compared to machines made just a couple years later I really want to find a trackhoe, thats a 440 track loader with a backhoe
I don't think your dad knows what he's talking about. This equipment wasn't meant to compete with the big Caterpillar, Le Tourneau, or Euclid equipment of the day. It was for smaller operations and it did great. I still use John Deere 2010 industrial tractor on a weekly basis.
The good old days when, apparently, some idiot would drive a digger, without even a cab, to dig a f-ing tunnel through sandstone because he was 'hard'. Has the USA ever cared a wooden cent about their own workers?
Try undergoing an OSHA inspection . "Regulations require 4 inches of separation here, you only have three and seven-eighths. That's a $20,000 fine." Most workplaces are very concerned now, because workplace injuries cost them time and money. Back then..."Bob got hurt. Bill, drive him to the hospital during your lunch break. Tom, you take over for Bob." Now, if a worker does not have and wear all required gear, including hard hats, the worker is penalized by the employer. There are doubtless still shady operators that cut ssfety corners, of course. But reputable firms have to carry insurance on the workers and the equipment. Insurance they want to never use, because it gets more 3xpensive with every use. And foremen hate new workers, so they enforce safety rules just to keep workers who need relatively little supervision healthy and working so their own jobs are easier.
Is it possible to feel nostalgia for a time when you weren't alive?
Anemoia.
Yes these companies helped the entire world to move forward
I know exactly what you mean.
Back when John Deere actually made great equipment that could actually be fixed
The 2010 kept you busy fixing, too.
Yessir
they actually made something worth looking at???
Congrats on your 21 subscribers. What year did you start not being smart enough to fix them?
That's true we were Deere dealers back then
I can't wait till' 1960!
Love seeing my jd350 dozer!! She’s still running and now getting her her steering clutches done!!
You will always be doing steering clutch’s in that
That’s gonna be the next fellows problem she should last many a years now though
Equipment that can be stored for months and still will run. Today you call a mechanic to reload software or other fancy stuff.
Or download hacked firmware from some location in the former Eastern Bloc so you can fix it yourself without having to sell off half the farm.

I love seeing these primitive tractors
Not a ROPS in sight, operators were tough back then!
Yup and just stupid people died. That’s why there’s so many stupid people living today, so many safety things.

Outstanding shipmate. Press on. USS Kitty Hawk CV-63. Jan 1980 to July 1983.
Well done video.
I'm here for the music 🎵
Oh in 60s world was so modern.
oh john deer, when capipiller or anyone else doesn't build it!!
Never heard of the pilot touch before, wondering if any still around.

It was a big failure, and most were converted back to normal controls.
I have a 63 case 430 gas with loader still runs
Anyone notice alot of the trucks appear to be internationals

This must be the year john deere stopped innovating and caring about operator comfort. At least that is what it feels like when you operate a JD380g.
Whine, whine, whine, whine....
I thought pornography wasn't normally allowed on UA-cam 🛠
John Deere yellow?
Industrial colors
@@likeaboss860 ya was just trying to make humor.
Strange how Oliver AC IH made dozers before JD did but only JD survived.
John Deere, "dependable low cost operation"?
johne deere trash 🗑️
My dad said this equipment wasn't worth of Wooden Nickel in the oilfield

I had a 440 Diesel track loader for years, never let me down once and the Detroit 2-53 ran like a top ! Sorry "Dad"
I’m still using my jd350 dozer to forge a road through 5 acres of woods doing great!!

Sure. It was run or die when I started. That weeded out the culls for those of us that wanted to be there.
