Just saw this one, going back through the subscription. My son in law had his first experience with a Synchro Range last month. When I said I learned to drive a tractor with that transmission, he said that I was OLD! Whippersnapper!😂
That huge spidwr you crawled into on the 3010 had my skin crawling i think it was one of those big black and yellow bastards we get here in PA as well huge
little wax on the hood little armoral in the cab goes a long ways wd tires take out the dry checks wiper blades ect help last longer thanks for shareing your videos god bless
Wow this was an older video. We don't even have the 3020 anymore. We usually clean up the tractors at the end of the season. You know how it goes when they are being worked all the time
I found this gem of yours. Now that it's pretty much winter in Wisconsin now, I changed a silo door and settled in to watch some classic MikeP7810. I always wondered your shifting patterns especially on your 2940 since we have a Waterloo IA version. I see it is pretty much the same but ours being open cab the levers are on the floor. Thanks for showing and sharing. Merry Christmas to you and all of your family.
Hey mike dont worry about those wanted be farmer you and your family know what you want and what you have.lease one thing you are one smart man and you dad know what you can afford.i really love watching your show cause you are one that brakes this g so people can understand what you mean .good luck filling your solos .
I was just going back through older videos. As a newer subscriber I love seeing the equipment you have. You guys must do a pretty decent job of maintenance on those machines, given the age and hours. Great video!
Every farm I ever worked on had at least 1 3020 or 4020, lol. They were like the Energizer bunny- they kept going and going and... Last farm, we used it on the grinder/mixer, and the silo blower. (4020) That tractor had a hell of a bellow when you worked it hard!
I've gotta get up there, lol. If you're going to replace the seat on the 3010, do yourself a favor and get the newer style seat from Shoup, that and the upgraded steps really made a world of difference on my 3010
Mike you have some real nice equipment I’m glad you keep those older tractors in tip top shape BTW I have a 7610 2wd that is on a mixer wagon and I tell you I love the 10 series I’m working on getting rid of my 7400 for a 7810 4wd those are great tractors
My first tractor I drove was the 3010. Then I'd do some small jobs with the 3020 and worked my way up to the 2940. I knew I got an important field job when I got to use the 4055!
7810s are nice, we have one and we mow cotton and corn stalks with it, irrigate with it and put fertilizer our with it and pull a rotary harrow with it
Thanks Joe. This is an old video so the only one we don't have anymore is the 3020, however, I got the 3010 up and running so thats good. It broke my heart to have it sitting there like that
Brenda Bird thank you! I rarely use the 4040 because it's on the spreader most of the time. I asked my brother and he said it was an 82. Good call on the year!
Really different from how we are here in norway, me and my brother runs a large co op and we have 32 tractors right now, and we change all of our tractors after max 2 years.
mikep7810 in our opinion its the best tractor on the market, but its quite expensive. We are considering getting some more john deere but need a proper demo ob them first
My dad started me on our old 1456 IH We always have our tractors cranked up if you know what I mean. But he sat me right their with the tractor and disc.
@@mikep7810 Thanks for the reply. I knew someone who farmed near Munnsville and another near Sherburne. Upstate New York is so pretty!! Farmers are special people to me, I grew up on a farm..
mikep7810 makes sense my grandpa used his 4040 to chop when he chopped at his place and the 4230 went on the blower and at my great grandpas place the 4230 chopped and the 4040 blew my grandpa was taller so he could see off the 4040 better compared to my great grandpa them ole 4040’s and 4230’s don’t care about no blower neither! Do you have any quad ranges?
Yes the 4040 has the quad range. We use to chop with the 4055 when we had a new Holland 900. I remember when I was a kid and my dad chopped with the 2940 and used the 3020 to haul the wagons. Times have definitely changed!
That's a nice fleet of tractors you have there. Take care of them and they will take care of you for years to come. Just curious, have you ever run any red tractors
My dad tested one out when I was real young. I don't remember it. I've driven a few blue ones in my time and my dad was given a farmall super C but other then the super C i cant remember any other red ones.
Mark Hoogendyk that's a good question. I have no clue to be honest with you. We got the tractor around 2005 so I'm not sure what was done with it before then. Good catch!
Both my parents grew up on farms in Sussex county. My moms brother still farms on the family farm she grew up on. There are other videos I have of that farm
mikep7810 I do go to empire, I figured you were somewhat nearby because I noticed the empire tractor stickers. Maybe I'll make a trip out that way for spring tillage.
Noel Stevenson good catch on the sticker. There is an empire tractor in Cortland we deal with. If I'm not mistaken I think our discbine came from the Batavia shop.
Have a question for you why is your all your equipment so darn dirty looks like it to be harder to keep it maintained you can’t tell Verizon week or anything like that with it being so dirty just a neat clean freak I guess myself I believe in keeping my equipment clean just wondered why you guys don’t you have a great day enjoy your videos
I don't know what you mean about Verizon? We use our tractors, so they get dirty. I'm not gonna shine up the tractors to make a UA-cam video. Do you expect me to pressure wash the tractor every night I get out of the field? Once we are done using a tractor for a while we will clean it up. As far as maintenance goes, I think we take care and do good maintenance on our equipment. I would take our tractors over any tractor the same model with the same hours.
mikep7810 Every piece equipment you got into you apologize how dirty it was so I just wondered why all of them were so dirty and you answered i don’t expect you to shine them up to do a UA-cam video appreciate the information that you give just was wondering I see a lot of other farmers are pressure washing their equipment a lot so I just wondered why yours was not but you answer the question and so don’t apologize for having dirty equipment if you use it
No worries you didn't offend me. I like it when people reach out and comment or ask questions. I appreciate the question and the subscription. I just didn't want you to think we were some run down operation with no regards for our equipment. We don't have the newest stuff but we do take pride in what we have. I apologize if I seemed harsh or snippy on my reply
Kronkus36 Thanks for the heads up. It is a nice tractor. I'm a fan of Wes and subscribed to his channel. Now that we have the 4555 the need isn't there right now. There are some other things higher on the priority list. Thanks again for the heads up.
Keith Mitthun end of the season and through the winter we do all the maintenance on the tractors and clean them up. I'm not stopping half way through a field job and cleaning the tractor
Van Crawford yes imagine that. With all the equipment we have on the farm (I say we however my parents at majority owner of the farm) there was a piece of equipment that I wasn't sure the exact year of. HUM
Van Crawford it is what it is. It's an 82 by the way. My brother runs this tractor a lot. I don't use this one that much. I'd rather be in one of the 55 series tractors or even the 2940. My dad and I are going to be harvesting corn tomorrow and I don't know what year our 4420 combine is so you can get me on that one too.
It's probably between a 1978-1982 give or take a couple years. Have yall got much corn left to run and has it snowed any yet in your part of the world???

They are really great tractors. We traded in the 3020 but still have a 3010
I grew up in granddaddy’s 4040 just like that we traded it off on a 7410 That brings back old memories buddy sure does

mikep7810 same here except my first was a 4030 then 2940 and for big fieldwork the 4440 and now I’m really special when I use the 4640.
You always felt important when you got to drive the big tractor!! lol
you have good selection of tractors i started on our farm with a david brown implematic 880 at 7 year old
That's cool! I like the tractors on our farm. Its a good mix
7810s are nice, we have one and we mow cotton and corn stalks with it, irrigate with it and put fertilizer our with it and pull a rotary harrow with it
That's awesome. I'm hoping someday we'll have one here. Would go good with our 4555 and 4055
Nice line of tractor s

Nice tractors...great lookin
Country Born85 thank you
Very good sir,. Glad to see that not only I am a John Deere farmer. You take good care of your equipment
North east Ohio farmer thanks. We try to take care of them. The 3010 has been put on the back burner for a little bit
mikep7810 well I hope you get to work on it soon. Hope you enjoying my videos
North east Ohio farmer I am enjoying them. I like that 7810 in your last video
north east ohio farmer: were planing on trading all of the deeres and newholland tractors in for all new KUBOTA M series tractor

Thats pretty cool to run it like that. Less equipment repairs because they are always new
mikep7810 yeah and we Get so much hours on them so quick. Recived 4 New fendt yesterday
@@ronkeking97 I sat in a fendt at a farm expo show back in February. Pretty sharp tractor. I wouldnt mind trying one in the field for a day

My dad bought our 4455 the day I was born and when he put it on a dyno it maxed the dyno out at 198
Thats awesome. Don't ever sell that tractor

Great channel young man!

Quick question wondering if you would answer whereabouts are you farming in New York?
Not too far from Cortland
@@mikep7810 Thanks for the reply. I knew someone who farmed near Munnsville and another near Sherburne. Upstate New York is so pretty!! Farmers are special people to me, I grew up on a farm..
@@jerryi8754 Cool. I agree, New York is such a beautiful state. I've been to Sherburne before
What most usually goes on the blower 4040? I used my dads 2940 on a 66 John Deere blower and never had any issues.
For high moisture corn we put the 2940 on the blower and for corn silage and haylage we put the 4040 on the blower.
mikep7810 makes sense my grandpa used his 4040 to chop when he chopped at his place and the 4230 went on the blower and at my great grandpas place the 4230 chopped and the 4040 blew my grandpa was taller so he could see off the 4040 better compared to my great grandpa them ole 4040’s and 4230’s don’t care about no blower neither!

great video and nice line of tractors thanks for showing us. Did you chop any corn yet?
Not yet. We are gonna start shortly
Is that the original cab on the 4040? Thought all 40 series had green in the bottom half of the cabs.
Mark Hoogendyk that's a good question. I have no clue to be honest with you. We got the tractor around 2005 so I'm not sure what was done with it before then. Good catch!
The first tractor I ever drove was also a 3010 but it was the neighbors
They are great tractors. I spent a lot of hours on ours when i was younger
Where did your dad farm in new Jersey that's where I farmed in Burlington County
Both my parents grew up on farms in Sussex county. My moms brother still farms on the family farm she grew up on. There are other videos I have of that farm
Where are you located ? I'm in the Rochester area. Would love to come check out the farm and equipment.
Noel Stevenson we are down by Binghamton. Do you go to empire farm days in the summer or the farm show in Syracuse in February?

Noel Stevenson good catch on the sticker. There is an empire tractor in Cortland we deal with. If I'm not mistaken I think our discbine came from the Batavia shop.
Noel Stevenson tillage season would be cool. There is a pretty decent auction that the farm bureau puts on every April if you like equipment

Is that a fp230 chopper
Its a fp240
Have you guys ever thought of getting a 4760
Not really, we have the 4555. We could use another 100 - 110 hp tractor
Whats wrong with the 3010?
Brad Ducharme nothing major. Needs new batteries and a new generator. A new seat wouldn't hurt it either. I was driving it after this video was shot
And where you guys at?
Brad Ducharme about an hour south of Syracuse in the Binghamton area
