That has to be the greatest rowcrop tractor ever made.That cab was a lifesaver during peanut harvest.Most farmers in my area were loyal to Ford but the 4430 changed that in the 70's.
The 4430 was a game changer for sure.
I’ve always loved listening to the engines in these old tractors. And loved smelling the burnt diesel
The commercial I got before watching this wonderful video was about some jackass trying to sell me an electric powered Mercedes. Electric power is a good thing, but does it really matter after the next volcano eruption? CO2, it's what plants breathes.
@@larascasse9264 Google has absolutely ruined the viewing experience on this platform. I can remember when none if that crap existed. There are 1 and 2 hour long music complilations that are interupted by ads and some of them you have to manually move it forward to keep the compilation going. I tried to watch a movie on here the other night and I kid you not there was an ad interupting a 91 minute movie EVERY 2 MINUTES!! Whover at CZcams went for this needs to have their butt drop kicked into lunar orbit.

That 4430 brings back soooo many childhood memories!
Really amazing the way these tractors have held their value over the years.
I bought a 4430 3 years ago easily the favorite tractor I own.
how many hours did it have?
Had 12k when I bought it just went over 15
I just got mine home yesterday! Cold started it for the first time this morning. Recorded it and uploaded it lol. Ran my batwing on it today. I never wanna step foot in my 1086 again lol
We have a 4440, 4755. Both run our 52' & 80' Westfield augers. Our 4440 also runs our Bush Hog 15' rotary mower. They do other odd jobs as well. Still going STRONG!! Great video Jason! GO BTP💪
My grandpa has a pristine 4430 with duals and front concrete weights. Spent countless hours with him as a young boy it. He bought it brand new back in 1972 with Quad-Range transmission and does almost everything with it; plowing, spreading fertilizer, baling, and seeding.
Very cool.
4430 great tractor also love the 4440
So glad we still have our 4430 good reliable tractor
👍👍
grew up using this tractor. it was our do all tractor.
Very cool.
Thanks, always enjoy watching these machines at work....
Thank you for watching.
Farm I worked on had a 4230 with roll bar and 8 gear synchronized, a 4430 and a 4630 both with cabs and quad range. We mainly used the 4230 to pull a six row planter and six row cultivat
I ran 4430 and 4640 on ex in-laws farm for years. Great tractors.
The 4430s were my favorite
Dad had a 4240. Awesome tractor. Haulex a lot of shelled corn with that tractor.
Great to see the old girl out working. I love these old Deere the best. The first one I ran was an old 4230.ean a bunch after that up to a 4960.then worked for a farmef that has a 7810 he used in the field and a 7800 he used for a farmhand in the yard.
He’s a little rough on the poor old girl...jeez what a cowboy pulling into the field!
Reminds me of an idiot I work with...treats our equipment just like that or worse.
He owns the tractor. It was running fine. A little smoke makes a good video clip 😁
@@velvetfog8815 ya, getting the mud off before I go out on a public road sure makes me an idiot doesn't it
@@coltonkinney9071 learn to read...the comment was about the way you pulled into the field...not pulling out
@@bigtractorpower no offense meant to you....smoke is good. The 4430 one of all time favorites. Keep up the good work. My comment was regarding the manner in which he entered the field....but as you say, he owns it and can treat it as he sees fit.
We run a 4440 for tillage and a 4450 on a feed wagon. Great horses for work
😁👍👍
We have a 4630 with a chrome straight pipe like that one that we pull a hx20 mower with as well.
I work with that batwing on a jd6410... great mower
I see the benefit of mow the corn stalk so it doesn't accumulate under the plow. Thanks, I learn something new.
Back in the 60’s you often saw a flail mower with a disk in tow to mulch stalks ahead the plow.
@@bigtractorpower Thank you big tractor power.
The farm where my Dad worked in Devon ( UK ) got a 4230 Quad range to replace their 4020 after trying a Ford 8600 which they hated, especially the noisy Hara cab. The 4230 cost £7000 which would have bought a small farm at the time. The tractor in the vid has 4 rib front tyres but strangely the 4230 came from the factory with single ribs which wore out in a couple of months. The rears were Firestone gum dipped low angles which were a disaster on wet grass but a pair of Goodyears fixed that !
Hey bro your coo I love classic tractors an combines
Nice video thanks for getting mud off tire tires before getting on the road ole tractor sounds good,happy farming
😁👍👍. You win a gold star ⭐️ for seeing he was knocking the mud off. A few other viewers were getting upset thinking he was hot rodding it.
@@bigtractorpower I try to run mud off my tractor tires to before I hit the road if I can
What a beast
I enjoyed the video big tractor👍❤️
He wouldn’t last long working for me running equipment like that!
Gotta show a little off for the camera man! Haha.
Says every keyboard warrior...
Getting the mud off the tires before getting on the road, watch the tires when it goes by
Colton owns the tractor. I think it was running fine the way he wanted it to.
good thing he doesn’t work for you... so don’t worry about it
I was working on the assembly line in July 1972 when the very first 30 series were being being built. My job was to charge the AC system, check for leaks and set the throttle speed. I was just out of high school.
Wow very cool history. Thank you for sharing. It must have been an exciting time with such a modern tractor going I to production.
@@bigtractorpower There certainly was a lot happening at John Deere in the 1970's
we run a 4450 power shift on our sprayer and hauling wagons and on the grain buggy sometimes.
Very nice.
The 4430 is a lovely machine😁👍
Great video. I can see definitely why they will mow it down first. I'd hate to have my plow plug up like that. Way to time consuming if u had to unplug it all the time. Thanks for the video.
Plugging of the plow is/was so irritating. I recall numerous times, growing up, pulling a 3-14 pull type plow and plugging it so bad all three wheels were off the ground. Guess it was time for a break.
Oldie-goldie! Big thumbs up! :)
😁👍
Awesome video 👍👍I used to drive a 4430 on a farm
I imagine he was trying to blow some of the excess fodder off the machine before he folded it up.
We have a 1977 4430 we bought in the early 80's from the original owner.
It is still our primary tractor. Back in the day it was a big tractor now it's too small for most farming operations around us. We originally mold board plowed with a720 5/18 international plow then transitioned to disc chisel then no till. We were dairy so the tractor pulled a john deere 3970 chopper,logged slot of hours pumping manure and did all tillage. Now transitioned to broilers in 2015 so it hauls litter with a 22 ft litter spreader and pulls a 1590 john deere no till drill. It has the power shift transmission. It had a major overhaul at 7200 hours,still has original paint . Has been an excellent tractor and still remains the only tractor we own with a cab so of course as I get older I find myself using it more even for lighter work. Thanks for all the videos they are greatly appreciated. We are in farm country in Lebanon county Pennsylvania.
Thank you for watching and sharing your 4430 history. Yes he was running fast to knock mud off the tires before heading out on the road.
We have a 4230 and 2- 4430s and a 4630 along with a 8440 and we can't say anything wrong about any of them, we enjoy farming with the older equipment and are hoping to restore them to like new condition.
I like the auxiliary lighting on the front, those look like some old KC lights I used to have. Probably light the night up I'm sure.
😁👍
my friend has a 4240.. good little tractor..
You know I haven’t seen any coverage of the ol’ JD staple, the 4020.
Good stuff, use to run the old stock cutter every now again back in the day behind our reliable 806. Notice how nice and clean that farm house looked in the back drop... Farmer Pride!
Thank you for watching. Big Tractor Power has a video on a deluxe 4020 with powershift, cab and 4wd posted at czcams.com/video/kxmUaztSqL4/video.html
I don’t care if he’s a hired man or owns his own equipment. Wow.... he bout rolled the tractor coming into the field and then he couldn’t stop to unfold the mower. Take care of your equipment!! He gives some us farmers a bad name.
He owns the tractor. The county greater clipped out the driveway so he bumped a bit on the way in. At the completion of the field he does the loop fast to knock the mud off the tire so he doesn’t track any of it up on the road. The field got mowed and plowed and the tractors running great.
Our farm runs a 4440 which pulls a 1200 gallon fast sprayer. We have a 4050 four post canopy that we use as a feed tractor on our knight kuhn tmr wagon. We have a rare 4250 open station that we use as a mowing tractor on our hx15 batwing. Last, but not least, we have a 4450 with the sound guard cab that is our bean planting tractor that pulls our kinze 3600 and also acts as our baling tractor for our 459 round baler.
Great line up. I like 4 post ROPs models allot.
I have honestly never ever seen that but it makes sense sure beats are stopping in and tangling the plough
It’s no fun plugging a plow.
Some rake and bale the stocks for fodder or bedding as well. My cousins do (with a straight piped 4430 no less)
Green Giant in Le Sueur Mn had a 4430 tractor for planting the Company Farm's with Sweet Corn 🌽🌽
I ran a early 4430 with a 158 loader tractor is repowered with a engine out of a 7700 john deere combine
I bought a model year 1982 JD 4040 to use on a 10’ rotary cutter, but mostly for fun. Timeless design.
😁😁👍
Cool video
Planted with a 4430 (Quad-Range) and 8-row 7100 planter and pulled a 5 bottom breaking plow and several other things we could . It was a pretty good little tractor but I liked the 4630 (Quad-Range) pulled a 25' john deere I think it was a 230? Sure do miss them days but love me some of that green paint though ! Enjoyed it .
😁👍👍👍
2:05 ´Merica!!
We sometimes run an HX15 mower like this one with our turned up 4255, it runs it really well
😁👍👍. The 4255 is a nice tractor.
@@bigtractorpower Yes it is
Drove one of these raking hay. But spent alot of time in a 4630
Love that smell. Got to go feed the herd so I can smell that diesel burning. Just can't beat the sound of that engine pulling.
I’ve had a 4430 for 4 years since I turned 16 and they just don’t look the same with a cab
Wow sounded very crackly and the corn stocks were also lol
We run a John Deere 2950 with SoundGard. It pulls a John Deere 375 round roller and a John Deere 336 square baler, among other things.
Awesome
Are beasts are two Case 7140s, they both pull wagons , and one pulls the planter and the other pulls the cultivator.
The 7140 is a great tractor.
Iv done that with our 8 foot mower like that john deere., but a corn stalk shredder works better than using a mower. Thats a awesome setup though.
Dam that stairt crome pipe is music to the ears I remember a man that had a 4440 and a 4450 four wheel drive as a kid by the name of Mike Haynes out of Jackson TN and had both of them turned up all they would go with crome pipes
Other than historic exhibition purposes does anyone regularly use moldboard plows? Where I am originally from in Indiana the last time I remember seeing a local farmer using a moldboard plows for regular operations was maybe the early 80s. Most everyone there chissel plows now .... I think. Just wondered. .
What is fool doin' racin' around the field??
Throwing mud off the tires before getting on the road.
Strange video. Seemed like a lot of random and wasted effort at "mowing". Then the racing around at the end to top it off.
@@davidphillips6571 Didn't see any mud in that field.
@@darkwood777 look at the tires
@@darkwood777 People who don't know shit should be quiet.
Thats what me and dad have is the 4630 with duels but its an open cab
The 4430 is a really nice tractor, I have a shop manual for one of these. 👍
You can tell its a kid running it. He needs to calm down.
Getting mud off the tires, so you can calm down
Colton who replied is the owner of the 4430 and operator in this video. I trust he is running the way he wants too.
@@bigtractorpower i am sure he is, and I was just writing about what I saw. Looked like he was rough on the machine is all. As you say he can do what he wants.
Seems like he could run a little faster across the field.
😆
Some of those oldies are turning 30-40,000hrs these days
And they keep going and going. They really built tractors to last back then.
👍👍
Would a vt do the same job as the moldboard plow in dealing with the stalks?
Yes many farms run a vertical tillage tool over corn stalks in the fall ahead of a mulch ripper to help decomposition of the stalks.
I have a 4240 excellent tractor 6,700 hr 🌽🚜👍
Very nice. I have a 4240 video on the way with a 300 corn picker.
We have been trying to do this on our fields with our 4230 but man it will not stop raining
It sure has been a wet fall.
@@bigtractorpower crazy wet in Indiana
mind if I use your footage for a school project? wont make any money of it and will leave your logo on
The nicest 4430 belongs to a guy by Seymour Wi.
1 owner
Yes indeed.
@@bigtractorpower lol, not mine I'm not a John Deere fan
my papaw has a John Deere 4030
😁👍👍
@@bigtractorpower he has it on a M&W 4500 round baler
Still use a 444o and 4455 to bake and swath !!
Very cool.
Its not a real tractor unless it pops a little black smoke out the exhaust when you hit the throttle..............or a lot. Thanks for the real tractor video.
Where in central illinois, that's where I live
Champaign area.
Hey a corn mower? That’s something I have never heard off. By the way why do they mow the corn stalks?
I explain and show in the video why they are mowing the stalks up. The video shows the mower working and plow running after it and what happens to the plow in in mowed stalks.
Okay now I get it sorry never got to hear that part
Why not install a chopper on your harvester? It would save a hell of alot of time and fuel and do a better job than what that mower does. How long would it take to mow a 500 acre paddock like this? Why not just go no-till and save even more time and money ? Each to their own though I guess. That 4430 Johny’s main competitors would’ve been the 1070 or 1270 Case, the 1066 Inter and the 1150 Massey. The JD sound gaurd cabs were far better than any of the others. But the Inters were far better looking than all of them. If it aint red, yada, yada, yada.🤣
I did a lot of moleboard ploughing, if there was a lot of rubbish (residue) to bury, I had a 4 metre flail topper mounted on the front 3 point linkage & 1000 pto, my plough was 5 furrows, reversable, ploughing 12 inch deep and 18 inch furrow width, my tractor was a JD 6920 cvt, this was in the UK.
Very nice set up. The 6920 is a cool tractor. Unfortunately it was not sold in North America. The 7520 was sold here in that size.
@@bigtractorpower 7520&7530 were sold in UK, we I got a new 7530, it was a heap of #+8t, I got back on my 69, it had 15000+ hours on the clock when cvt give up working, to replace cvt would cost more than the tractor was worth.
Like 🚜🚜🚜🚜👏👏👏👍👍🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thank you for watching.
Why do they do the btp
I do not not understand the question?
@@bigtractorpower why do they do that sorry
I WOULD dump the tractor n as stock chopper then buy a corn header with a chopper on it.
Trade our 1977 4430 powershift FWA with loader for a 2006 Case MXM 190 FWD loader. Very big mistake the Case MXM was worked on more than any tractor we had. Miss the 4430 luckily the neighboring farm bought it so it isn't to far out of sight.
They do not build tractors like they used to. I know of a situation where a farmer traded an IH 1456 on a Case IH 140A Farmall. The Dealer advised him not to do that saying that even though they have the same horsepower they were not the same tractor The dealer advised him not to do that saying that even though they were not the same tractor.
I enjoy your videos, but commercial breaks every 2-3 minutes make them very hard to watch.
The 4430 tractors are junk the updated 4440 unit was a 100 percent better. Engine was hard to get started n transmission n final drive always failed prematurity. Buy the 4440 you will happier.
He would never drive any of my tractors
It is his tractor. Two things here. One the county graded the road and took out the farm entrance. At the end he kicked it up in the loop to knock the mud off the tires before heading out on the road .
