I know people will think I'm crazy but I'd pay a couple hundred dollars to be there working a old deere I've got a 70 two cylinder but no land where I live in Elizabethton tn there is a housing boom and they are buying all the land what I miss most about farming was the fellowship of other's working for a common good we had several of these type tractors. With a tear in my eye thanks for bringing back the wonderful memories.
I grew up on a farm in South Africa with a mc cormick W6 and a John Deere 70 ...were amazing machines in my childhood...brings back alot of good memories.
Good video.older iron doing what was intended and doing it very well.limbered up.not sitting in the weeds.hard to see good equipment rusting away.that is a waste.Thank You Sir.
Nice looking 4020. Our family purchased the last one sold by our local dealership in 1972. I spent a couple of summers working for a man that had a JD 4000 with the Powershift option. I found out a few years ago that there were very few of them made with that option as the 4000 was a cross between the 3020 (rear end) and 4020 (engine) and marketed as a less expensive option to the 4020, most of them came with the synchromesh transmission. I wish I could find that tractor now.
Great Video, amazing tractors, love the green & yellow machines, but all of them bring back great memories. I am refurbishing a JD 950, but It is only 35 years old, just a young one. No better day than riding or working in my tractor. Thanks for a fun video.
@@safetywitness1899 we converted ours over to normal 12v systems ages ago. We have a 4010 and 2 4020s, all diesel. One of our 4020s has over 27,000 hours and has never had anything but new clutches, alternators, starters, and maybe a hydraulic pump or two. It's been turned up to 160hp since day one too. The other two are not turbocharged and have at least 15,000 hours and no major work either. Our 4630 has been dead reliable too- 14,000 hrs turned up to 240hp. But my 59 530 is still my favorite tractor :)
No doubt it has been one of the best ever but I cannot understand why thy used that strange electrical system. In theory it works but most people have enough trouble dealing with standard 12-volt setups. Too many owners just don't understand that it was 24-volt ungrounded starting and then then half the 12-volt was negative ground and the other was 12-volt positive ground. That did create its fair share of problems. Apparently, many of them were converted to 12- volt. My 2002Ford Excursion has a two battery 12-volt setup and it has been the greatest. I'm stilly using one of the original batteries and it is only 18years old.
@@safetywitness1899 yeah, ours still have twin batteries but they are setup just like your 7.3. Converting them over was easy enough. They only have a few wires on them. Dad did the 4020s ages ago, I did the 4010 when we inherited it from my mom's father. The kits come with everything you need, it took an afternoon. As to why they did it that way originally, I don't know. Maybe batteries weren't so hot back then? Most cars had standardized by then so who knows.
@@safetywitness1899 Don't know what you mean by "24-volt ungrounded starting"? How can you have a completed circuit if there is no ground? It either has to have positive ground or negative ground otherwise you have no completed circuit. If you are feeding 24 volts to the starter it has to ground through the starter or somewhere. Any schematics on line for this setup? I'm curious now!
Those are nice tractors and still doing the work needed to produce the food America and the world need. I have a John Deere 790 tractor, and a 3032E tractor and love them both, but they still have not been working like the ones here.
Beautiful soil! Surprised to see JD three bottom one way plows. I plowed with a completely manual one back in 1972. It had no hydraulic assist. Still did a good job. I miss the IH H models, too.
I grew up on John Deere. Dad had a 720 diesel, 3020 and 4020 and then traded in the 3020 for a new 2940 4x4 and had a John Deere 3 point hitch corn chopper. Could chop corn when the big guys were getting stuck!! Used a farmall H for the silo blower which he later traded for a 3020 power shift.
I enjoy seeing them old tractors cuz to me they're not that old. I was just wondering how deep their actually plowing looks me like let 7 maybe 8 in. I live in North Eastern Colorado and I know for a fact that not one of those tractors could pull as many bottoms as shown. We had red tractors and the neighbors had green and 806 or 4020 could pull over 3 bottoms. Also we had 14 in. cut 12 to 14 inches deep. Theses were rollover type. Believe me I can speak from experience no way could we pull 5 or 6 bottoms. I really enjoy watching the old tractors, it brings back memories. THANKS
I spent a large portion of my teen age years on a 70, 730, an 4020. One summer I figured I could have driven around the World on the 4020 if I'd have pointed it in one direction. I remember my Dad saying that the first tractor that he drove that had rubber tires instead of the old iron lug wheels.
Ther are some good looking John Deeres! Love that John Deere music too. Putt putt. Not a big fan of red tractors even though were doing a good job plowing. The dirt looks like what we have here in Indiana.
So I am very curious Dan. My grandfather was Willard Beske whe farmed in Fergus Falls in Buse township. Wondering if you know how you are related. You post some very good stuff.
Mike, My Great Grandfather was Adolph Beske. Adolph's older brother, Albert, had a son named Willard Albert John Beske who was born in 1914, died in 1976. Their Father, Karl (Carl Beske), was born on April 14, 1851, in Germany. Carl was one of the individuals who helped start the German Lutheran Church in Elizabeth. I believe he is buried there, too. Willard and my Grand Father, Rolland, would have been Cousins. Willard's daughter, Karin Ann, married Eugene Zahnow. I think they are your parents? I see they had 3 kids, Michael, Lore, and Rebecca. Is that you? I bet it is. If so, then we are certainly related. My Dad has a book called Our Beske Family Heritage 1884-1987 where I found this information, with the help of my Dad's guidance. You and my Dad are probably some level of Cousins as both your Grand Fathers were 1st cousins. I'll have to ask my Dad who put this book together and where he got it. Have you ever seen it?
I guess the young men have not learn that do not tied the rope to the seat spring. Make something and bolt in to the tractor then tied the rope to it don’t let something come unhooked and jerk the spring off the seat and you also. Just saying.
I miss the smell of freshly turned soil. In Michigan in the 60's there would be hundreds of blackbirds and red-winged blackbirds attacking the worms, grubs, etc in freshly turned soil.
Two batteries are connected in series and grounded between positive and negative connection, Thus you have a negative grounded battery circuit and a positive grounded battery circuit. In effect the starter circuit is not grounded. It is basically like your 120/240 volt ac setup except it is DC and you have a positive grounded 12-volt circuit and a negative grounded 12-volt circuit. It's not good because some people don't understand what they are dealing with
In general, the more sandier the ground the more rocks you have in Northwest Ohio. Where the last glacier left its till, you’ll turn up more rocks. Where the water melt lates before it drained you don’t turn up any rocks.
That field was wheat. Beautiful ground for sure. My Cousin also grows corn and soy beans. Sugar beets and sunflower is also grown in that area which is the north eastern part of Minnesota near Fargo/Moorhead.
Didn't like seeing that either. Didn't look like there were any rocks there but if that plow hit one hard you know what happens when that hitch lets go! That girl would go flying.
Great looking tractors. Got a question on the tricle gear 530. You have a piece of sheet metal between the engine and the fuel bowl, have you had problems with the fuel boiling in the fuel bowl? Seen it happen on my 530...bubbles coming up from the bottom of the fuel bowl when everything got heat soaked, but it still ran good. Didnt know if thats why the one in the video had that happen. Thanks for the video.
It can be an objective, Donald. In our case, the plows normally don't have all the coulters which flips and buries the stubble. Stubble that shows helps reduce soil erosion in windy conditions, so that is a good thing. After we plow the field, my cousin will take his modern farm equipment and field cultivate the field to further till and mix in the stubble. Hope this explanation makes sense.
I know people will think I'm crazy but I'd pay a couple hundred dollars to be there working a old deere I've got a 70 two cylinder but no land where I live in Elizabethton tn there is a housing boom and they are buying all the land what I miss most about farming was the fellowship of other's working for a common good we had several of these type tractors.

Red and green tractors working together!
For all the Tractor's and Plows Everything is Running Good and Your Plows are Set Correctly
The soil looks so rich!

Great to see those old M s putting in some solid work and all those stuff old Johnny poppers are so stiff great vid
Good video.older iron doing what was intended and doing it very well.limbered up.not sitting in the weeds.hard to see good equipment rusting away.that is a waste.Thank You Sir.
Lovely footage ,black loam and all those poppers .that 730 diesel is about as powerful as the two cylinders got , thanks for ploughing on
The 830 was the big daddy at 83hp.
Some cool old iron, those old ""Jonny poppers"" are very amazing
We own a 1959 630 narrow front
I hope to see more videos like this. Young guys like me didn't get to see this growing up. Keep up the good work!!!

Thank you for sharing. I have just been reminiscing a lot lately, and this is part of it. God Bless from Phoenix. Russ
Thanks for sharing video great to see some working machines that don’t cost quarter million dollars and up these tractors are doing the job
Them some beautiful old John Deere's I have an old G I restored to and we use it on the farm every day. Love seeing the old Deere's working

Felicidades, que buen video todos los tractores en excelentes condiciones.
Felicitaciones a quien hizo este video!!!... Me encantoooo!!!!!
The classic 30 Series John Deere tractors are still the best looking two cylinder JD tractors!
Nice to see those old timers ⏱, nice video my father used to bring one home.
We had a 730 pulled 5 bottoms with it
Nice video, awesome tractors
9:02 is when another musical moment starts
Excelente trabajo amigos. El mejor arado es del tractor 530
Great sounding 4020 rolling coal.
I absolutely LOVE this 4020. It was pure joy for me to operate this beauty. I hope to see it this year when we plow.
Perfect video,very Nice colour
I have driven all the different tractors shown. All were good for their time. I still have my 1972 4020 Diesel. Best one of the bunch!
The electrical system (24-volt starting and part 12-volt negative ground and other part 12-volt positive ground was a nightmare for many owners.

That’s some beautiful soil!
Great hearing those twin cylinders. I put many, many hours on a JD 620 pulling 3-14's in the 60's.
I noted this also. Soil looks rich.
I spent a large portion of my teen age years on a 70, 730, an 4020. One summer I figured I could have driven around the World on the 4020 if I'd have pointed it in one direction. I remember my Dad saying that the first tractor that he drove that had rubber tires instead of the old iron lug wheels.
The American farmer, sunup to sundown year round, the food for our tables.
Unsung hero’s, just the way they like it.
C'mon Man...! You want a Chrome straight pipe outta the top of those Johnny Poppers...! And our 530 had no Fenders...!
Old tractors never die. They just plow.
i am From India (State Punjab) and i Love to see American Farmers and Ploughing
Thanks, Hell Boy!
I spent allot hours growing up on a JD 620 gas pulling a 3 bottom plow on farm in Upstate NY.
I too spent a lot of hours on a 620. The farmer I worked for had 4 mounted plows. pulled the front up alot.
Need to have "Bulletproof" by Godsmack quietly playing in the background whilst these classic JDs are running!!
Ther are some good looking John Deeres! Love that John Deere music too. Putt putt. Not a big fan of red tractors even though were doing a good job plowing. The dirt looks like what we have here in Indiana.

That 4020 sounds great. Really getting some work done there! Nice video! Would like to see a Case 930 or Allis Chalmers D series. Or even WD45.
Xcelent video and machinary
1:58 is when the music starts
That is rolling over some soil.
Have a 70 standard diesel and 730 standard diesel and a 730 wide front Pony start diesel 3020 and 4020 diesel love my toys
in one year, How many kinds of crops do you plant ?? And How many kinds of equipment do you have ??
We have a farm in Iowa and we have a B,A,70 gas, a 4020 and a case SC
If it's not green it's not to be seen yall it is what it is yall the jd man 🚜👍👌
nice looking dirt

Pretty easy pulling soil if a 530 can pull that 3 bottom
It's sad to see one piece of equipment off of Idle What a way to send the vintage out
I miss the smell of freshly turned soil. In Michigan in the 60's there would be hundreds of blackbirds and red-winged blackbirds attacking the worms, grubs, etc in freshly turned soil.
Going to look at a 5020 jd dont know if I can get I but iam going to try 😁😉
Hi Dan nice machines I like Jd for me but they are all great what are you guys going to plant there next thanks
Is it just me, or are rain caps satisfying???

pretty pink tractor
I can smell it. Spent a lot of time turning ground on an old Farmall M.
Let’s see them turn over prairie or old pasture land
What nice land you have. Do you have any stones at all? I'm jealous, here in New England the plows are tripped as much as they are plowing.
Very very few stones. My cousin who farms this land does a nice job of keeping his fields clear of rocks.
In general, the more sandier the ground the more rocks you have in Northwest Ohio. Where the last glacier left its till, you’ll turn up more rocks. Where the water melt lates before it drained you don’t turn up any rocks.
Nice plowing one thing if you not got a john deere tractor at lest you got a deere plow.
Where s the 50 and the 60 at
7:15 that one needs some love :) what y'all grow? wheat?
That field was wheat. Beautiful ground for sure. My Cousin also grows corn and soy beans. Sugar beets and sunflower is also grown in that area which is the north eastern part of Minnesota near Fargo/Moorhead.
@@hitterdalplowing1987 Believe that would be northwestern part of Minnesota.
My father used to loose it if a child sits on the mudguard .... because by the time u see her fall its always to late.
Didn't like seeing that either. Didn't look like there were any rocks there but if that plow hit one hard you know what happens when that hitch lets go! That girl would go flying.
No john deere 830?
That gear noise on the 630 sent me back to the mid 70's. What would this 630 be worth?
The gear whine is what I distinctly remember about Grandpa's "Jonny Pop""!!
We still own a 1959 narrow front 630
The red tractors need to stay in the barn they just get in the way of the good stuff

Very interesting but the objective in ploughing is to Bury the stubble surely 🤔
It can be an objective, Donald. In our case, the plows normally don't have all the coulters which flips and buries the stubble. Stubble that shows helps reduce soil erosion in windy conditions, so that is a good thing. After we plow the field, my cousin will take his modern farm equipment and field cultivate the field to further till and mix in the stubble. Hope this explanation makes sense.
