My favorite to drive was the 4430 because of the A/C and cab, my favorite to work on was the 4640 because of the amount of room offered, but I have to say the 4020 was my all around favorite. It was just wonderful.
All very good tractors. 👍👍
My all time favorite John Deere was our 5400 Forage Harvester. Three row head and a couple of extensions to fill semi trucks. I loved riding with gramps as he overfilled the trucks. 😂 Only used the wagons to open up the corn fields really.
We also had an old Farmhand forage harvester (fitted with a John Deere three row head) and a LOUD Detroit diesel. It was used for corn chopping only (it really was awesome too)... those two and 4 - 6 semi trucks (mostly tri-axle trailers - but the six axles would be out there some too - those were all from East Mfg) and the Steiger Panther PTA back at the farm pushing up and packing silage. Occasionally when it was really muddy the two Steigers would be hooked to the trailers via dollys and dumped on the pad using a truck next to the tractor. That was amazing. In its day it was quite an operation.
Cherished memories... one's I wish I was able to provide for my kids. 😢
My dad bought a new 2020 John Derre and an 8ft disc in 1969. That's what I learned to drive on. Been in love with the 20 and 30 series tractors ever since. Thank for sharing.
The 20 series are hard to beat.
The sound of that 6030 is the sweetest music I have heard in ages. Great vid!👍
😁👍👍
Yessir
They were a beast, but make sure you fuel up at lunch time pulling the big Athens harrow we had behind ours.
Favorite by far is the JD 4020. Spent many hours in one in 1978 while working for a local farmer. Thanks for the great video.
That 6030 and the 7520 with a couple of those 8/16 plows featured in the video would get top billing in my book . You can always tell a great farmer by the color of his Green tractors with Yellow wheels !!!!!
That would be great to see.
We had a 6030 and just loved it.
Hello Stuart, how are you doing. I believe you are staying safe. I'm Patti from California. I'm looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind, thank you.
Thank You for adding this video. I spent many hours in the cab of the 5400 silage cutter with my Dad. It was a great memories that I will always treasure.
It was great memories. Sorry
Thank you, BTP. I was 12 yrs old when these came out.
Its good to go back in time and remember old memories, great Memories. Thanks
Thank you for watching. It is neat to find these classics to film.
@@bigtractorpower would be awesome. Thank you again for reminding my childhood and my Grandparents. Does were the great days. ❤
I love those old john deere tractors! Reminds my of when my grandpa farmed, he would only buy john deere thats all he had on the farm. Great video
😁👍👍
I worked for a local farmer during the summer months in the early 80s and he had a 6030 and a 4840 ! Then in 84 the 6030 got traded for a 4850 and that’s my favorite JD !
Dad liked his 4850 so well he bought a second one. A front wheel assist and a standard front.
I drove both 6030 and 7520 plowing rice fields in Texas. I loved that 7520!
Very cool.
6030 is my dream tractor. Just a massive beast.
I still find my favorite john deere is always the 820 desiel just sounds so good
The era when simple, durable and dependable equipment was built without all the emissions and electronic BS!!!!!!!!
It was a different time. Good solid machines built to last.
Great video. Most of us have saw the advancements in tractors but it was nice to see the old original JD chopper. My have they’ve grown over the past 50 years
I farmed in Minnesota and had a 6030 John Deere I just loved that tractor, had retirement farm sale in 2003 where it sold have been sorry ever since. I since had collected 33 antique tractors I sold them in 2019. I still known the 6030 was my favorite tractor, Best tractor ever made.
The 6030 is a 1970’s power house. It was the last of an era.
Awesome video! I would also appreciate coverage for the 4020 & 4320 Tractors! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Great video! The farmer who used to farm the field behind my house had a 6030 with cab and 38" spaced duals. Very loud tractor you could hear it coming from a couple miles away.
Very cool.
I pulled a lot of silage loads from behind a 5400 to a silo. Really great machine!
Very cool. What type of tractor and silage wagons did you run?
1972 and 1972 nice connection. Only way to get it done is to get it done. Almost 2,000 videos. THAT'S A LOT OF WORK. Thanks for the videos and thanks for the work. Ready for another 1972, ,,, here's to a great 2021 BTP season. Be safe out there.
Thank you for watching. 2,000 videos is almost hear.
Honestly what people might not realize how great that these tractors and chopper would be great for a small dairy farm especially with same engine among tractors and chopper
It was such an exciting time back then seeing the tractors come out nowadays it just seems like the big guys and that's all it is
I like the old John Deere equipment. I am just amazed how you can get all of the information, and video's for all of this great pieces of equipment. Keep your awesome video's coming.
Thank you for watching. I have collected tractor sales literature since the 1970s so I have a good library of original specs. The big challenge is finding these 50 year old machines in good condition and working in the field.
Love these old Deere's! I gotta make some videos on ours but dang that 6030 sounded sweet!
Thank you for watching. The 6030 does have a good sound.
My favorite John Deere is the 3020 Diesel with narrow front end and power shift transmission. I loved driving that tractor.
Great Green Tractor Vlog, thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching.
I love the 1972 Deere models, I have two 1972 4320 tractor and one 1972 4000 tractor 👍👍 Nothing Runs Like A Deere.....
Very nice. I ha e filmed a 4320. I hope to catch a 4000 on the field some time.
Most certainly enjoy your videos and your awesome voice really helps hearing it clearly grew up with a 4020 and still today a good all-around tractor
Thank you for watching. The 4020 is one of the all time greats.
Happy to own a 7520 and a 6030 (and even a 5200 forage harvester ;-) )
Very cool. The 5200 is a rare model. Do you still run your 5200?
@@bigtractorpower bought it as a project, needs some work.
Man that bean stubble where the 6030 was plowing looked hard. You could see the plow bouncing up and down as it broke thru the hard pan.
My favorite JD is the Model A. My grandfather owned one and taught me how to drive it
The A is one of the John Deere greats.
Hello Bob, how are you doing. I believe you are staying safe. I'm Patti from California. I'm looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind, thank you.
Love all those old iron tractors. Can’t wait to see an old school clip on the Farmal/International Harvester tractors..... 560, 806, 1206, 1456....
I have a video that covers 80 years of red tractors from 1939 to 2019 posted at czcams.com/video/QlP2so1LYSE/video.html
Turbocharged 5020 and 105 combine last farm equipment I had the pleasure of using. Joined the navy in 1966 never to return to the farm.
Really nice to see some farm machinery from the year I was born.
Very cool.
My favorite John Deere tractor is the 4450. I just like them. Here’s why. My cousin worked on a very large dairy farm here in Maine before he started his own farm. His boss bought a low hour used 4450 out of Canada. The first person to run it was my cousin. As his job was running and fixing equipment. He topped off the fuel tank and hooked up to the 6 bottom plow and headed out for a day of plowing. Once he dropped the plow and started he immediately knew something was up with this tractor. He just kept giving it another gear and another and another and the rpm just stayed. Rolling coal and plowing in 12th gear like it was nothing. He knew it must of been cranked up pretty good. Then he really knew at 11:30 when he was already out of fuel when he filled it at 6 am 😂. He yelled to his boss on the radio and said “I need the fuel truck”. His boss said “WHAT!!!you just fueled up at 6”. Lol. Well they took it to the local Deere dealer at the time (Hammond-Tilton) in Fairfield Maine and hooked it to the dyno which was rated for 300hp. Well the 4450 buried it like nothing. Everybody was shocked to find it had been cranked up for pulling (like fair pulling lol) it had some aftermarket goodies as well lol. So knowing what would happen if they didn’t (driveline failures) they turned it down to around 175hp and called it good lol. Sorry for the long story lol. But that’s why the 4450 has always stuck out in my mind. I hope you don’t mind such a long comment. I love this channel!!! And I especially love the heavy tillage videos of all brands of tractors. Take care. (Pete Skowhegan, Maine).
Thank you for sharing some 4450 history. Great to read.
bigtractorpower glad you liked the little story. It’s too bad you live so far away. We got some pretty tough conditions up here in Maine for tractors!!! But I really enjoy your videos. I was so shocked when I saw what happened at renner stock farms loosing a barn to fire. I’m just glad no persons were hurt and also glad no tractors were in that barn. 😢
Awesome as always Jason!!! I love our 4440. It's still awesome to drive. Go BTP!!👍👍Hope your feeling better?
I am feeling better every day. Thank you. The 4440 is one of the all time greats.
C. C c. C. CBC c.
Big tractor power always the best in knowledge and class video, it just doesnt get any better. Thanks for your hard work and dedication to bring us the best ! As a Ford guy in my blood there's nothing wrong with the older Deere.
I like Ford. I really want find a 9000 to film.
Great video Jason. gotta love the bellowing of those tractors.
Thank you for watching.
My favorite is the 8630..I was working ground with a 30ft Kraus fc by myself when I was 9 years old in 1980🍺
Nice video again Jason!👍👍
Grandpa had a 4430 that was the only tractor he ever bought new. And that always has and always will be my favorite deere
The 4430 is a solid tractor and the first modern cab tractor.
Class video and very good information about the machinery, my favorite john deere tractor back in the 80s was a two wheel drive 3040
Video # 1,972 hehe, I see it :)
I love it when people restore old machinery to make them look like they did all that time ago when it was new. The JD 7520 articulated is one of my favourite tractors.
The 7520 is a cool tractor.
Our 5400 is semi retired now. We only use it to open corn fields. Replaced it with a FP240. My favorite tractors are probably our 4430 (it will never leave our farm) and our 8300. I do like our 4020 a lot also.
The 4430 is a solid tractor. I am guessing the FP240 as a modern pull type offers more speed than the 5400?
Yes, the 240 has more capacity and the kernel processor and metal detector are definite upgrades. Our 5400 needed some work and we got into the 240 for about the same with the upgrades. The 8300 handles it well.
Very nice old machines, great video
Thank you for watching.
If you want a tractor under 80 horsepower, you can’t beat a 3020 diesel. The handiest larger frame tractor John Deere built back in the day. We also have a ‘71 4320 and she is hay making machine.
😁👍
Simpler times for simpler men
So your saying old farmers are ‘simple’?
Nothing wrong with being simple and wanting to keep things simple
I wouldn’t say simpler when buttons today were levers. Everything done by hand then is automated now. Hardly no one even knows what it’s like to STEER a tractor these days. So no, they definitely were the opposite of simpler.
This is an awesome video. Really cool to see the old machines working. We really like our 55 series tractors and enjoy working them in the field
My Dad sold a 6030 to a customer while working for Carlyle and Anderson JD in Hamilton VA. Not many big tractors like that in Northern VA in those days. It was a beast. No cab and now I know why adding 10K to a 28K tractor!
That's an unique chopping setup👍😉 green classics are always nice to see😁👍
😁👍
I like the 8630 myself, we used one for about 14 or 15 years until it broke a crankshaft. It was only afterwards that somebody told us that you have to keep the hydraulic coupler tight otherwise it will send vibration back through the crankshaft 🤔
Gotta love the classics
😁👍👍
I always loved driving the 5020 on the dairy farm I worked on as a teenager
I got to disk some corn stalks with a 5020 this fall. It is one solid tractor.
Dad worked for a man that bought a 5000,new in 75, had a 4 row stalker head,handles 4 rows of corn with ease, pulling a Richardson dump wagon good times
Ment to say 5400
I really like the 4440 and the 4020
Very good video thanks for the video and your time and effort to do the video
Thank you for watching.
Never seen a harvester set up like that before.
It is a unique set up.
Great to see BTP video 1972 paired with the year 1972 equipment
😁👍👍
4430 was my favorite
I MAY HAVE WORKED ON ONE OF THEM BACK IN THE DAY!!
👍👍
Back in the mid 90's, I was a young mechanic at a John Deere dealer and replaced the engine in a 7520. Replaced with a remanufactured engine due to extensive damage from piston failure that broke the cylinder liner and twisted a connecting rod. Not a job for the faint at heart, splitting these beasts is a chore!
That does not sound like an easy job.
all of the 40 series 20 series and old equipment and I love to see your video about old tractor, you are all the time in my recommendation 😎👌🏻🤘🏻🚜🚜
Thank you for watching.
That was nice👍 I like the 4020
Thank you for watching. The 4020 is one of the all time greats.
My favorite John Deere tractor is the 4020 Diesel row crop and trike models
you know you are getting old when you say those were the good old days!
It does seem that they were brand new just the other day.
Well done on the year vs video number. Great equipment here to see.
😁👍👍
Nice video 😊👌
Thank you for watching.
Finally footage from "the JD Chopper" LOL! The 5200 would also be intering to. Thanks for sharing!! 👍
It would be great to film a 5200. I have been filming for CZcams videos for 10 years. This was the first 5400 I have found. Hopefully a 5200 turns up sometime.
@@bigtractorpower if you ever come to germany I will arrange a visit or in the fall/autumn a field demonstration. I would be proud to help out! Bud to much distance I guess 😞. I personally love that JD 5200❤️, 3 row unit, no hfwd(I was allowed to drive : wat a great, great fun!!! , and a mega friendly owner!! ) helps a lot in this crazy world to stay.
@@bigtractorpower some footage on this canal: "Stark Youngtimer häckseln live"
Parabens 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍💪💪🚜🚜🇧🇷
Well Big Tractor Power feel free to come back anytime... greetings from Sweden..
Horse drawn JD gang plow, 2-12s pulled by 6 mares, plows better than any tractor plow I have used !
Very very cool.
My favorite machine is from 1972 is 3300 combine jogn deere
Loved running our 8820 Titan 2, good old nuts n bolts type combine. First tractor i drove in N America was a 8440, simple, get the job done.
The 8820 was a monster in its day. The 8440 is a tractor I would like to film.
@@bigtractorpower took delivery of my 1987 Allis Chalmers 8550, pretty excited to use it in the spring, put it in my latest video
Those tractors look great when they pull the throttle down and the black smoke rolls.
👍👍
I always enjoyed running a 4020. Field in Michigan
😁👍
My favorite is the 8020
I like the 4020
My favorite tractors from John Deere is the 4440 and the 6030
Both grew tractors.
Probably my favourite is the 2755. My dad traded their 2130 on it in 1987. It was the first tractor I drove.
Great tractor.
nice video
Thank you for watching.
@@bigtractorpower No problem whenever you post it's a good day in my books
Some absolutely braw yokes back in 1972
My favorite tractor or combine made from John Deere is probably the John Deere 6600 my grandpa had one and he was still farming but that's kind of my dream combine
The 6600 is one of the all time greats. It is one of my favorite combines. It was by far the best selling combine in the 1970s.
@@bigtractorpower I had a 7700 turbo for several years it is still being used , still runs good . Sadly I must confess that I did like the New Holland that I had before the 7700 , but it burned up in a fire ,it was a good running 1500
there is a 7520 Deere at the local race track (grand forks ND) it is used to "farm the track* basically pulls a pto powered clod buster to re finish the dirt track.
has the same belt squeal even. good retirement job for it.
Very cool.
These John Deere tractors are incredible. Did you see that this morning Deere just released their new articulated machines on their website?
Yes I have a 9R540 lined up to film and and new 1795 planter with updated commodity tank.
@@bigtractorpower Sweet!
On the 7520, what does the small horizontal connecting piece between the exhaust and air intake/cleaner do? Is it exhaust gas recirculation? I've seen something similar on Oliver 2655 (an s-shaped tube) and wasn't sure of its purpose.
It pulls the dust and chaff out of the precleaner using the exhaust draft
We have a 1972 year model 4020 that has been a faithful tractor for our far for many years.
Very nice. One of the all time greats.
The plow was set correctly. The ground was hard packed. I like seeing actual plowing and like less the plow days type plowing.
My favorite JD and only was a B! We are were are are IH only since grandfathers 10-20 but I loved my B. Hand start. No thrills.
Great good old green iron.
Thank you for watching.
I was there 1972 John P Halpin and sons Henrietta NY. We ran those units on our farming operation bought from the dealership. We did not have a 6030 but did have a 7520 and 7020.
Very very cool. My all time favorite John Deere dealer. It was so cool to drive down W. Henrietta Rd. and see all that green iron out there.
@@bigtractorpower I think Halpin's only ordered one 7520 and it ended up on our farm. Big singles 30.5 32. Definitely cab and air. I was around 19-20 when I operated it. 4 wheel drives only way to work large acreage. We were 4000 acres in the 70s many different crops. Today's farms all corn and soybeans easy.
@@williamhalpin6713 4,000 is allot to cover with just row crop tractors. What crops were you raising? I am guessing kidney beans and sweet corn might have been in the mix.
@@bigtractorpower green peas 450 ac, snap beans, sweet corn, dry shelled corn, soft white wheat, red table beets, dry hay, cattle, oats, pasture, trucking, and of machinery dealership in Henrietta and one in Hall NY. Hall dealership 1968-73 .on some years spinach for Birdseye plant in Fulton NY
@@williamhalpin6713 great crops. Very WNY. Oats are crop you hardly see any more but it seemed like every farm had oats and wheat. Often wheat following the oats in rotation. I did not know about the Hall Store.
Big Tractor Power, my dad and uncle bought a 1986 John Deere 2950 brand new. They used it on their farm and for planting pine trees for a long time. Last I saw it had about 15,000 hours on it. It was a good tractor. I grew up riding on it and using it. Have you heard of John Deere making a self propelled peanut harvester? I had read an article on it a while back. I do like the cotton baler pickers that John Deere makes, which is the CP690 which has become really popular in the Southeast.
Very solid tractor.
Favorite piece of John Deere machinery? Either the 10-speed bikes or snowmobiles. OK, so I'm a town kid and never own any John Deere larger than an Ertl.
FYI on the 6030 you could also get a 619 cid engine which made it available with two different I found this in don Macmillan’s book John Deere tractors and equipment 1960 to 1990
This is false Deere never built any 619 6030 tractors from the factory. The 2 different engines deal is really a little misleading too as the 141hp option offered in 1973 those tractors were really built out of left over 5020 parts and just given 6030 serial numbers. They contain none of the upgraded features that were used on the 6030
JD 2840 was my favorite
Hey Jason, how are you doing, I hope every day is still better than the previous. All the best for you :)
Thank you for watching. My health is improving every day. Thank you.
@@bigtractorpower Awesome, great news! And still a night owl. 😃
I wanted 1 so bad 6030 , 7520 Pure Hp. I had a 1963 5010 list price about $10,000 m I still have the 1963 2010 that my da replacer the R with in 1975 , Still runs good
When did you decide to feature the 1972 model years for your 1,972 video? How did you come up with the idea?
Most of had an epiphany , would be My guess !!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA .
When I filmed the 5400 this past September I thought it would be neat to feature the three new machines that were introduced together using the 531 engine. I knew the 1,972 video would post in the winter when there was no new field action to share so I decided it was a good match.
Nice job Jason! Rantoul.IL????
Yes
My favorite John Deere tractor is the 5020
The 5020 is a nice tractor. I got a chance to disk some corn stalks with a 5020 this fall.
@@bigtractorpower That’s awesome I’ve never got to drive one but would love to someday
