Sounds good. Love to hear those 2 cylinders work. Sounded like there was a couple spots of heavier soil in that field. Nice looking tractor!
So many keyboard experts here. Very nice tractor. Love the clam shells
I just bought a pristine 1959 John Deer 730 Diesel It will be used for disking CRP land and mature tractor plowing sessions!
Nice...have fun with it!
Farmed with a 730 in western n dak fun time smoked real good when pulling the hills
Thanks for the video eSPeeScotty, nice to see them ol tractors at work still, and that 4 bottom plow will get the job done pretty quick.
2 of the four colters are not set right!
wonderfull old Poppin Johnny just love the sound of them.
The diesels are more of a Johnny thudder
Don't listen to none of these jackass's comments not many of them have anything good to say. Sir that is one beautiful 720. I have a G I restored and use dam near every day. Thanks for the great video Sir
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Nothing like the sound of a popping Johnny
Yes, such awesome machines. Beautiful sounds from those 2-bangers.
It's a beautiful thing.
We had a 720 diesel with a pony start on a 830 3 bottom roll over plow in the early 1960's
Awesome video, that tractor sounds awesome.
Thank you. I was really liking this one too.
These were some hard pulling old tractors for their size.
The good 'ol days !!!!!
Good one, SCotty! Makes you wonder what one of the old things would do with a turbo on it!
Dang was it close to lunch time ??? He was ripping right along lol 😆
Sweet JD 👍
the pigeons are neat pecking around
This ranch was rather big at one time,mostly producing citrus.Once encroachment of the city of Glendale took over,the city saved a fair chunk of the HQ area and turned it into the Park you see.
Yes, I wish I could've seen this area back in those days. As you know, it isn't like that anymore...not even close.
Sounds good.
that old girl handling that plow wonderfully. if i could get my 520 freshened up i might be able handle my 3 bottom that good
John deere 3 polnt hook up
That 720 is getting quite a workout.
She sure was. I bet if it were dark, you'd see the exhaust manifold glowing cherry red.
Good tractor for farming
I bet many would agree with you.
Esos JD de dos cilindros eran indestructibles
nothing better
One gear to high. That plow seems to scour well.
Lugging to much will dilute the oil with unburned fuel by slipping past piston rings. Oil sump to full could seep into combustion chambers overnight. Hydro lock on startup could break crankshaft.
Bullshit. Ran a 70 all my early years pulling 5 16s and disking with a 12 foot. Lugged a lot. My dad would stomp you for turning a tractor up to max. You wound it up and pulled it back just a touch.He just died at 93. Old John is still under the barn. It will still drag the 5 bottom. Those tractors were make to get work done. Not be worked on.
What a lot folks forget is that these guys are hobbiest not real farmers for the most part.They know little of productivity and are just playing with their toys.Chill let them have fun
Ikr growing up I had a wd45 d17 and an IH 806 we plowed and cut hay
They’re not hobbyist, they’re retired farmers that were successful. They spend big money on buying tractors and plows of this vintage and fix them up. They bring them out to pull floats at parades in their communities. They are great people to talk to. Salt of the earth. They love to reminisce.
@@observant98 I'm betting this guy is a hobbyist. This might be his Daddy's tractor he restored. But, I'm sure his Daddy wouldn't like his tractor operating out of it's capability.
sounds like a big type writer
Nothing sounds as nice as a 2 cyl John Deere! They were very torquey. When my Grandpa and Grandpa traded in their 830 diesel, they weren't very pleased with the newer style Deere that replaced it.
I was at another tractor show today and saw a '42 D and a '48 G, both gas, and man, those big brutes had a very bass-like boom that I could feel in my guts! I caught a couple of old diesel R's too, and the torque from their engines almost lifted the front tires whenever the clutch was engaged.
When I was in high school, I worked for a farmer friend in the summers of '58 and '59, plowed two fields of wheat stubble, about 40 acres each with a D John Deere, probably a '47 or so with electric start. It pulled three bottoms and when it would hit a vein of clay-like soil, it would lift the front wheels just a tad off of the surface.
830 was a pulling tractor. The 4010 that was it's replacement was about 75% of the tractor that the 830 was..
dam fine Ole girl got a freind here in Idaho with a twin to her good Ole girls!!
If I was that guy on the 720 I'd tell whoever is messing up his furrow to get the hell outta there!!!
trabalhar no preparo do é muito bom mas não tenho mais oportunidade .
se você reduzir uma marcha o trator trabalhara mais potência de sobra ?
muito bom este trator trabalhando com o arado pesado
They do actual farming in Arizona? LOL
These tractors/plows are little cute toys compared with what my friends are using out in there Iowa fields. LOL
Yeah, these can't hold a candle to the beasts that run the fields today. These were impressive in their day though.
My dad didn't have anything quite that small, but the ones he had were tough, and growing up with them, I learned to like them
Randall Cornelius- I get a monthly farming magazine that I don't read but go my favorite little piece called, "My Favorite Tractor." Each month fetchers someone's story and pic. usually of some old tractor they've refurbished, or their granddads tractor that's still running etc.
I don't farm but man do I love the machinery out there in those fields..... (not to mention the guys driving them...lol)
Aww, you sound like my kind of woman... My dad has been gone for nine years now. I sure do miss him. I have a collection of the ones he had on the farm, in memory of him.
Elsbeth Humphrey I have a JD B from Arizona it worked down in a canyon in the 50s great tractor I think we need to do a overhaul on it though
too big of a hurry, don't know why,,,steering and clutch linkages need lots of work. Makes me think other parts have not been maintained either.
Do you think people are longing for the ol days?
For sure! 👍
Aye, isn't it wonderful? 4-F on a 2 cyl, where have we gone wrong - 3-F Reversible on a 6cylinder and now many are going BACK from a big-6 to a Huge 3 or 4. Ah the days of hearing what you were doing! - enclosed in all that plastic foam fume filled "safety cab" full of strobing displays. .... Just gimme a home where the Deere can go roam and the Masseys stay red in the store.... ahh those days of yore
Making her Smoke but she is doing a great job of Plowing
Grew up and live not too far from there
Would not need smaller plough if he bothered to service air cleaner!
I’ve spent months plowing.... I don’t recall anyone coming out to watch me.
I'd sure watch some plowing action.
might be better on the tractor if we find a lower gear
That is what a 2 cylinder jd us supposed to sound like when it is pulling hard. I spent a lot of time as a kid plowing and disking on a 620. I kept thinking I needed to shift down but dad corrected me and told me to let it chug.
You aren't showing the flywheel on the left side of the tractor! The 2 piston popper wouldn't do squat without that flywheel. Or maybe that's the flywheel on the right side of the operator there. Huh. I remember a much bigger flywheel on the left side of the tractor. Maybe that's another flywheel on the right side of the operator there too, that smaller flywheel.
Show the left side of the tractor; we don't see that. You can kind of see it at the 6:02 mark.
We had two of those tractors when I was growing up at 14 years old in the early 70's. Ran forever on a tank of diesel. The flywheels are what do it. Flywheels store energy, kind of like mechanical batteries/capacitors.
Why don't they use flywheels anymore? Because with flywheels you have less moving parts, less maintenance and lest fuel cost.
You tell me we're not in a tyranny. A tyranny of lack of truth and knowledge. Time to change that, to get rid of ignorance.
"There is no darkness equal to ignorance."..... Now why did the "false teachings of Israel" keep that out of the bible?
26:27 "There is no eye equal to wisdom, no darkness equal to ignorance, no
power equal to the power of the spirit, and no terror equal to poverty
of consciousness.
26:28 "There is no higher happiness than wisdom, no better friend than
knowledge, and no other savior than the power of the spirit.
26:29 "Those who have intelligence may grasp my speech so they will be
wise and knowing."
----
If you doubt what I say, don't "Judge not"', because "judging not" is abdicating your personal
responsibility to determine right from wrong. "Judging not" is a false judgment.
7:1 "Judge not falsely, lest you be falsely judged."
And if you are mourning that you have been fed lies and half truths (lies) all your life, then know
the truth and be comforted....
"The truth and knowledge will set you free."
5:4 "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall thus recognize truth and
be comforted."

The flywheel is on the left and covered because it's an electric start with gear teeth on it. Yes the flywheel gives torque for power. As for the right side it's the clutch which can also run a belt. Maybe you should talk it over with Semjasa when it/he beams you up on a UFO with Eduard Albert Meier and you can hash over the contradictions of the book of Enoch with Sitchin and flat vs hollow earth while you smoke each others bale.
Damn, it's a plowing vid, grow up!
he's leaving a big gap between passes
ToddtheWadd
he should've split the field a bit perhaps
That's not too big a gap in our part of the country that would be what our normal land would be sized at most of our fields were either a 1/4 or 1/2 mile wide or long.
I like old tractors but let me tell you that 730 couldn't pull that 4 bottom plow if they put it in the ground.
What I'm saying that gentleman might be plowing 5 to 6 inches deep in a sandy loamy ground.
I grew up on a farm in northeast Colorado a long the south Platte river and that heavy black soil. The neighbors had a 730 and 2 bottoms was all it wanted, but that was 8 to 10 inches deep.
My dad always said if the neighbors would drop that plow in the ground they couldn't tell everyone how fast they would cover the ground so fast.
He would have said the guy in this video was just out there chicken scratching!
Para mí ese es un 730 no creo q exista un 720
O deer no turbo
Don't oh mean "O Deere"? 😉
My Dad would have given me what for, for starting a field by throwing the furrow out of the field.
No

Exhaust smoke is to much, remove a plow,drop a speed or check engine,
Or maybe he has it turned up
Seems like he's trying to put on a show. He's plowing in 3rd and she's struggling. If you plowed for days like this, that baby would be blowing head gaskets. It's plenty strong, just let it work.
Too high gear or engine its not in briliant condition :)
What's wrong with it
He's probably got it a little deep
Way to much plow for 720.
Do you you even know if it's a 4 bottom 12, 14, 16, 18? or the difference? How about long or shorts?
It’s doing just fine.The type of motor makes it sound like it is struggling,but it isn’t
Charles Scoggins bull shit!!
must be 14". With no hills and no heavy clay it could be 16". We had one that dynoed 76 hp
I have the exact same plow with a rubber tire. My 720 pulls it just fine. I think this guy is trying to put on a show though. He's plowing in 3rd. That's why it's struggling. Plow in 2nd, if it's hard, 1st. Any tractor this age wouldn't last all day driving like this.
Over load
A little bit
