So nice wes. Cant wait to see them on your farm. When the 2 arrive on your farm you should line up all the JDs you have from smallest to biggest and do a little video montage. It would be so nice to see all that green lined up side by side. I bet Mr. Tim wont be able to sleep until they arrive lol
Wes your videos are never half long enough to for-fill my fix of your interesting journey. great to see your hard work paying of and expanding your business hats of to u wes u have an inspirational drive and u know what you want out of life 👌🏼 you definitely seem a lot happier and stress free than this time last year all thanks to the John Deere wind rower and the big pack lol it's all an interesting learning curve and thanks wes for sharing your life with us OLF family 😊
I think somewhere in the computer menu you can switch from KPH to MPH, Brits don't think in KPH on the roads but lots of field work like spraying , fert spreading , and other stuff they go by KPH. And of course the 7530's in Europe are more than likely built in Germany, it's the small frame JD where as the 7930 is a large frame .
In 1978 my parents and I went on a Successful Farming European tour by bus seeing farms, big churches and castles. One day was a boat ride in the Rhine River. Another day was a tour through a John Deere tractor factory and I don’t remember which country it was in. The factory made tractors for Europe with rounded cabs but there was one country that the tractors had to have a square cab with an escape hatch in the roof. Part way through the factory some big guy on the assembly line who didn’t speak English raised his voice and waved for me to come over. He put his hands in a thing full of hot oil covered balls for bearings and put a huge hand full in my hands with the oil dripping on the floor. Being sometimes unsure of myself I didn’t know what to do and I put them in my right front pocket in which the oil soaked through the pocket and was burning the skin on my right leg. I don’t remember where we got rid of the balls but my mom was upset that my pants were permanently oil stained. The skin on my leg burned for a while if not into the next day.
going to be neat seeing how them tractors turn out this side the pond are they new enough to need the def here and not have that set up what can you do to deal with that
selling the 4960 would be regretted everyday if the 8530 replaces the 8120 on baler then sell it more money from it anyway. the 4960 doesnt cost you anything to keep if you dont use her much plus tim may not forgive you for selling it
Nice tractors you bought. I think the paint comes the aluminum because of the higher moisture in the air and maybe the salt in the air too. Can't wait to see all cleaned up and back at the farm.
Two nice tractors looking forward to seeing them once home. Hope you enjoyed your times with us in the UK your welcome back anytime. Sorry about the rain! We do have sunshine here!!!! Yes we really do lol interested to know what you thought of English beer . Great video looking forward to the next one
Bob, my wife and I spent three weeks in England this September and October, one in London and two in the country. Not meaning to step on your question to Wes but wanted to contribute my thoughts on English beer. I enjoyed all the brews across the land! Hard to decided which was best. Also enjoyed pasty and traditional pies. The bacon is amazing! Bacon buddies are great! Had traditional cream tea with friends near Stroud. Enjoyed the warm hospitality showed us by all the great people of England! A special thanks to the Londoners who noticed our London Pass and gave us their seats on the tube! Another wonderful experience was the construction worker in London who kindly gave us a list of pubs to visit that were off the main tourist path! Looking forward to hearing more about OLF's trip! Mind the Gap!
Ramblin Man If your pasty wasnt from cornwall im afraid 1. its not a proper pasty and 2. you cant rate your pasty because the ones not made in cornwall are always crap!
Will you have to change out the three point pull arms to convert from the Euro hook to the US ball system on the ends or will a quick hitch attach to the hook system?
good purchases there wes, glad you didn't buy a 7930 i think you would have been disappointed with it. the 7530 is a super all rounder as a lot of contractors use them for baling. to answer your point regarding the cut out's in the weight carrier on the 8530, that is done because most people put the 900 or 1100kg weight block on the front but to do so those notches need to be cut as the weight is narrower than the carrier. also the big 7000's and the 8000's don't have cab suspension as they have deere's active seat which on the road is a really lovely smooth ride. hope you have many problem free seasons with those two machines.
we have a 7530Premium very nice tractor. nice with the loader but is a little rough when comparing it to TLS or cab suspension. the ivt is nice. also used to have a 8530 with ils. very smooth riding.
West central Minnesota we are getting ready for a big ass blizzard tonight. snowplow is on the bronco it's backed in garage so I can plow my way out. got a big pot of chili going. 11/17/16 So there you go.
Nice purchases Wes, I'm sure they will do you well. That P.T.O. rocker switch you weren't sure about is to activate the remote P.T.O. start and stop buttons on the rear fender. The cable at 8.30 is for the pick up hitch release which has been removed for some reason. You can see one on the first tractor at 15 seconds in. If I am right then the red lever in the first tractor you saw was for the trailer brake release when you want to disconnect a trailer with the tractor brake applied.
I agree with you on the 4960. All those 50,55 and 60 series tractors are bullet proof but it took mother Deere way too long to find out what road gear is. If you can stay in the field all day they are great tractors.
Thays a basic cab for a 30 series. We got a 7310 and it was amazing inside, full auto with perfect seat,cab suspension. It was a great update from the 6215
2 good tractors!!! i would keep the 8120. i have an 81 and its awesome they are good tractors. i also have an 8330 powershift its a good tractor. you are gona love the ivt and suspension wes!!!
Hi Wes if you are going to convert your hitches on the trailers to pick up hitch eyes, Can you buy them locally?. Both my tractors here in Canada have pickup hitches. it's real hard to non existent to get the proper hitch eyes from dealers here off the shelf. Pintle hitch eyes we get here aren't quite the right size, but the big one will work in a pinch. one dealer says he can order them and ship from England like I can, but shipping is about twice or more the part cost by the time it gets here. I wanted one for a rock trailer project i'm building, I got lucky one of my Irish customers had a good used eye,he gave me from when he emigrated and shipped his stuff over. If you haven't already asked for them in England and can't get them local, it might be worth getting a few shipped in the tractor toolboxes/cabs when they ship them. They would cost you about $40 each to buy like this. You got Some nice looking tractors by the way. Looks like it was pretty cold over there compared to home. The climates way damper/colder feeling, than what we usually get here in Canada in the winter when it's -10oc or colder .
Nice tractors Wes! the 7530 is a good load lugger on the road lightwaight but powerfull and comfy.you will love our pickup hitches but make sure you have the correct trailer ring hitch on. a thin ring can jump out if htch is worn on a four weel trailer. hope you both enjoyed your trip to the England. Cheers
glad you wised up and are keeping the 8120 haha. If the new 85 blows something major and is out for a couple weeks it would be put a major hurt on you. Now you got 2 tractors to run the baler.
onelonelyfarmer I would like to hope you liked England. even if out weather is shocking and different to yours we can have our days of heat.... sometimes anyway. i dont k ow what county you was in (I think lincolnshire beacause the a1) but I really do hope you enjoyed and would be happy to come back. 😊😊
What makes buying tractors in the UK so much cheaper than the US? Exchange rates? So, even after shipping, import duties, and travel expenses it's still cheaper? You're smart to do this, but at the same time it's sad that you have to go overseas to get good prices on equipment.
Rumor has it that there is a huge black economy of the Russian mob stealing tractors and selling them in western Europe. Maybe someone here knows if that's true. Knocks about 30% off the top they say, making it viable for shipping. Shipping prices are good now also. It could be exchange rate, but I really have no clue about either.
Good choices on the tractors! The paint on our 7630 step is doing the exact same thing. Just curious if that 8530 has an IVT tranny, because once you work with one for awhile, you wont wanna go back. At least that's my experience! 👍
the 8530 is missing a quick hitch casting make sure they put one on they are expensive last one I bought was about £400! or you have to take the pin out every time you shove your hitch out. the 7530 will not disappoint you good tractor
Looks like some good buys Wes. I hate to see the 4960 go down the road, but at some point you gotta replace them. Someone will get a good tractor with that 4960. Those new ones will haul ass and look like they should really ride nice in the field.
nice tractors Wes hope they do you fine I'm from scotland and love a trip to sharmans for a look plenty to see at this time of year cant wsit to see them on the farm
Are you going to fill us in on what you spent in the future? I'm curious how much you saved by going to Europe. It might be something I have to consider in the future.
B Winford They're considerably cheaper across the pond. There isn't much difference in the Deeres here and there. I believe the larger ones are even still made here in the USA.
Have you ever looked at Valtra tractors before? Great tractors made in Finland that can handle some hours. They sell them in England too. I think you could have checked those out too.
When I first seen the picture for the Video I was thinking what did Wes get a Cat Challenger. but glad you got a little bigger tractor for the Krone Bailer.
I think it might be the road salt in the uk reacting with the aluminum when the paint gets scratched... my van had aluminum hinges and they did the same...
You noticed the neked aluminum in England said you could fix it easy enough but the poor 7530 & 8530 are still shivering in NJ what can I say ¥outing pays for my sarchasm Thanx from Krapramento sorry about the wet hay we get a day or 2 of blue skies and back to the brown; wearing the mask makes the air taste better
Nice Wes! We have 3 7530 on my contractoroperation in Sweden one of them is from England think you will be rell happy whid them, the europen hitch is relly nice,
Bring me back one or two!
How Farms Work no lol
make it three u know his dad and brother would takem
How Farms Work hello
Hii
So nice wes. Cant wait to see them on your farm. When the 2 arrive on your farm you should line up all the JDs you have from smallest to biggest and do a little video montage. It would be so nice to see all that green lined up side by side. I bet Mr. Tim wont be able to sleep until they arrive lol
I have a feeling Tim is going to buy the 4960 from Wes, since he loves that tractor.
Fred Youpa I'd be very surprised if Tim had enough money for it to be worth it. If
the_real_matt Tim can probably take out a loan, not sure how much though.
Fred Youpa
well... if Tim's tractor gets upgraded to a newer one, I don't think he'll be as upset
Fred Youpa I just meant that relative to how much money he has, it's probably not justifiable to him to spend a significant chunk of it.
7530 is a excellent choice! front link is from a really good company in Holland!
Wes your videos are never half long enough to for-fill my fix of your interesting journey. great to see your hard work paying of and expanding your business hats of to u wes u have an inspirational drive and u know what you want out of life 👌🏼 you definitely seem a lot happier and stress free than this time last year all thanks to the John Deere wind rower and the big pack lol it's all an interesting learning curve and thanks wes for sharing your life with us OLF family 😊
This is the video I found your channel with….and loved your videos ever since…..watching it again in 2022 may

wes great buy on the 8530. she looks great. cant wait to see the smoke roll. good job..
Really interested in knowing if you really saved money buying them in England and then the cost of export vs buying the equivalent tractors in the US.
going to be neat seeing how them tractors turn out this side the pond are they new enough to need the def here and not have that set up what can you do to deal with that
Wow the first video I saw and subscribed......watching it again December 2020 .......nice
Just like a kid in a candy store except the candy cost a lot of money
selling the 4960 would be regretted everyday if the 8530 replaces the 8120 on baler then sell it more money from it anyway. the 4960 doesnt cost you anything to keep if you dont use her much plus tim may not forgive you for selling it
Glad you had Theresa with you! She's pretty perceptive. She is also just pretty!
Congrats on the two purchases Wes. I hope they give lots of service.
Nice tractors you bought. I think the paint comes the aluminum because of the higher moisture in the air and maybe the salt in the air too. Can't wait to see all cleaned up and back at the farm.
Two nice tractors looking forward to seeing them once home. Hope you enjoyed your times with us in the UK your welcome back anytime. Sorry about the rain! We do have sunshine here!!!! Yes we really do lol interested to know what you thought of English beer . Great video looking forward to the next one

Ramblin Man If your pasty wasnt from cornwall im afraid 1. its not a proper pasty and 2. you cant rate your pasty because the ones not made in cornwall are always crap!
Ali, well I will have to make sure I try one in Cornwall! This is the kind of information I like! Thanks for your comment :-)
nice looking tractors wes hope you have good luck with them thanks for showing
Aluminum corrodes, paint lets go. What I didn't like about England, rains all the time. I don't recall ever seeing an Englishman with a suntan
William Dowell I have a tan and from England
William Dowell the aluminium is bolted to steel so it oxidises just like a Land Rover and the salt we use on our roads doesn't help also
Hey Owen how was your holiday in Spain, if you got a tan L.O.L.
Owen Crouch I told you what would happen if you kept using that cheap sun tan lotion
Will you have to change out the three point pull arms to convert from the Euro hook to the US ball system on the ends or will a quick hitch attach to the hook system?
My neighbor just sold her 2007 JD 8530 with 3,630 hours for 165K FOB. The green/yellow paint must add to the resale value...

We bought a 7230 premium made in America for hay with a loader and we loved it.
West central Minnesota we are getting ready for a big ass blizzard tonight. snowplow is on the bronco it's backed in garage so I can plow my way out. got a big pot of chili going. 11/17/16
So there you go.

If I am right then the red lever in the first tractor you saw was for the trailer brake release when you want to disconnect a trailer with the tractor brake applied.
You wont go far wrong with those, 85's are monsters and those 7530's are pocket rockets. Congrats!
Wow. Two great looking machines Wes they should be great additions to the fleet!
I agree with you on the 4960. All those 50,55 and 60 series tractors are bullet proof but it took mother Deere way too long to find out what road gear is. If you can stay in the field all day they are great tractors.
Nice finds! 4960, 4450? go, 4430 lifetime keeper. 4230 and 4450 should stay nice tractors keep em.
Very nice. Looking forward to their delivery in the USA
7530 is a very nice tractor to drive, its my main tractor at work. Just wish it had 7810 engine.
Thays a basic cab for a 30 series. We got a 7310 and it was amazing inside, full auto with perfect seat,cab suspension. It was a great update from the 6215
Since you have a front linkage tractor are you more persuaded into getting triple mowers?
2 good tractors!!! i would keep the 8120. i have an 81 and its awesome they are good tractors. i also have an 8330 powershift its a good tractor. you are gona love the ivt and suspension wes!!!
he is....
Looking very nice John Deer tractors Wes, good for the farm work 🚜🚜
Good purchase on the 7530 Wes! Our 7430 is cranking out 215hp with ivt and will take on any task required.

Excited to see the 8530 on the baler in next season.
Come back home well.

hope you both enjoyed your trip to the England. Cheers
Ya bought great Deeres and your lady has a nice chassis too ! you lucky guy ! ;)
The 8530 is a great tractor, big enough to use, but also small enough to use on our narrow roads in England
Nice, glad you were able to find something.
what's the best hay equipment for a very low budget but good quality
I can't wait to see the follow up videos!
glad you wised up and are keeping the 8120 haha. If the new 85 blows something major and is out for a couple weeks it would be put a major hurt on you. Now you got 2 tractors to run the baler.
Congratulations Wes.! Great looking tractors!
onelonelyfarmer I would like to hope you liked England. even if out weather is shocking and different to yours we can have our days of heat.... sometimes anyway. i dont k ow what county you was in (I think lincolnshire beacause the a1) but I really do hope you enjoyed and would be happy to come back. 😊😊
I am going to miss the 4960, but damn Wes, you bought two great tractors. That 8530 is a 300+ horsepower tractor.
Damn, two new tractors! Fun times ahead!

Congrats Wes. I am happy for you. It really seems like you have upgraded your equipment in the last few years.
Well done Wes. Can't wait to see them on the Pandy Farm.
Please video when you tell Tim the 4960 has to go. He will cry. lol
Wes those telescopic hitches are fantastic,you will grow to love them,Greetings from Ireland
Good choices on the tractors! The paint on our 7630 step is doing the exact same thing. Just curious if that 8530 has an IVT tranny, because once you work with one for awhile, you wont wanna go back. At least that's my experience! 👍
Congratulations, I hope that you are pleased with your ultimate purchases when you get them home eventually.
Best of luck with the new tractors I am glad you found them and I am looking forward to new videos I hope they serve you good for many years to come
very nice wes newest one i drove was 8400 how is 8530 to run i mean i have drove newer 4wd jd articulated ones but not row crop
Those are a couple of nice tractors you purchased!
Which Sharmans did you visit? I'm surprised you didn't look around a few of the JCBs they have in stock as well after you trying one
You got two very nice tractors. Bargins i must say, it did make me laugh when you spoke about the 7530, being so common here. Enjoy them :D
Congrats on buying those tractors, can´t wait to see them in action.
Nice that Teresa is less camera shy now.
Good luck with your 7530, we have 4 of them and they keep great value here in the netherlands.
the 8530 is missing a quick hitch casting make sure they put one on they are expensive last one I bought was about £400! or you have to take the pin out every time you shove your hitch out. the 7530 will not disappoint you good tractor
Have you thought about buying a larger stack wagon to pair with the 8120? Or is it not really a concern
Nice one Wes, always liked the look of the 8030 series! Should have a bit more grunt for the Krone
Welcome home, Glad you had a good trip.
Gona be great to see them working :) The Kph to Mph is a simple computer switch
On our farm in germany we have a jd 6430, 6215R, and a 7930 awesome tractors
Well done Wes u can't go wrong with British spec tractors
Looks like some good buys Wes. I hate to see the 4960 go down the road, but at some point you gotta replace them. Someone will get a good tractor with that 4960. Those new ones will haul ass and look like they should really ride nice in the field.
Does anyone perhaps know's if Wes checked and made sure that the two tractors were serviced regularly?
Jan Kotze I'm sure he would have and he is also a mechanic so he could tell
Thanks Jake, you are correct, thanks for the reply.
nice tractors Wes hope they do you fine I'm from scotland and love a trip to sharmans for a look plenty to see at this time of year cant wsit to see them on the farm
Are you going to fill us in on what you spent in the future? I'm curious how much you saved by going to Europe. It might be something I have to consider in the future.
Wes are you looking for any more tractors here in the US.
that's a dromone hitch made in Ireland in County meath just down the road from me
Andy Kane that's a sauterman hitch. they stopped using dromone back in 2002
john cummins there supplying still to acco john
Andy Kane same
Is the exchange rate beneficial? Not a European tractor fan.
B Winford They're considerably cheaper across the pond. There isn't much difference in the Deeres here and there. I believe the larger ones are even still made here in the USA.
Waterloo Iowa and then shipped over.
I have noticed the price difference but was unsure if that was the only reason.
Right up the street, probably by more than several members of my family.
how did you enjoy the drive in the jcb.i was amazed at how fast you guys were going
When are the England tractors getting in?
Have you ever looked at Valtra tractors before? Great tractors made in Finland that can handle some hours. They sell them in England too. I think you could have checked those out too.
That 7930 pto switch that you were confused about was to enable the fender pto switch. Kph to mph is easily adjusted on these tractors.
Can't wait to see that Krone behind that 8530
When I first seen the picture for the Video I was thinking what did Wes get a Cat Challenger. but glad you got a little bigger tractor for the Krone Bailer.
Good to see your trip went well.
I think it might be the road salt in the uk reacting with the aluminum when the paint gets scratched... my van had aluminum hinges and they did the same...
Congratulations on your purchase OLF
Very nice Wes, hope you got a good deal
nice looking tractors wes
Wes you're a great individual. But if I win the lottery I'm going to blow it all. You make me miss agriculture
They say the only way to make a small fortune farming, is to start with a large fortune. lol
Noel Hohberger Who knew you could have so much fun losing so much money!
Wouldn't want it any other way lol
Mac102004 Farms Thats right, couldn't see myself being anything else.
Nice wess, Can't wait to see it running.
Can't wait to see them on the farm
You noticed the neked aluminum in England said you could fix it easy enough but the poor 7530 & 8530 are still shivering in NJ what can I say ¥outing pays for my sarchasm
Thanx from Krapramento sorry about the wet hay we get a day or 2 of blue skies and back to the brown; wearing the mask makes the air taste better
should have got more 7530's they are great tractors
Nice Wes! We have 3 7530 on my contractoroperation in Sweden one of them is from England think you will be rell happy whid them, the europen hitch is relly nice,
Just like a kid in a candy store. Nice!
LOL can't wait for you to get them home so you can take us for a ride
Good Show old boy .
why not one of the new serie tractor 6210R for example instade of the 7430 ore what number was?
