I had three 3020's in my early farm life. Had a '65, a '67 and a '68 years model. Farmed almost 1000 acres with the three old horses. Traded the oldest year model in '71 for a 4320 with cab and cold air. Surely helped beat the Texas heat! Later, traded all but one on 30, 40, and 50 model John Deere tractors. Still have the '68 3020 in the family.
My Dad said at one time, he had a 2020, a 3020, a couple 4020s, a 4620 and a 5020. I still have one of his 4020s and the 4620 hanging around still doing good work amongst the newer 9Rs, 8Rs, 7Rs, etc
We had a narrow front 3020 Diesel. I LOVED that tractor. Id jump on it over our 40 & 50 series cabbed tractors. I just bonded with it despite it being older than me.
I have a 1964 4020 row crop. The tractor was manufactured in Nov'63. I have owned it since 1983. I use it plowing, mowing and tedding hay, and blowing snow in upstate NY. Since I have owned it, I have replaced, and rebuilt and repainted everything on it except the steering valves.
That sure seems like a big load on, and weight for, only a 70 PTO HP tractor, yet it is doing it just fine. I would have thought that even a bit much for a 4020. Very cool to see.
Putting that 4 cylinder, 4.4 liter engine to work on that combine. A 3020 was the first tractor I got to drive growing up. Spent a lot of quality time raking hay, hauling wagons etc. When Dad trusted my driving skill, then I graduated to our 4620
Got very familiar with a 3020 during my farm-boy youth. Ideal for mucking out the cow barn, fixing fence, picking rock, powering the auger, plowing snow. Thank you for sharing.
Learned to drive on a German build 2020 that my father bought in 78. Later a 1020 was added as a replacement for a MF35 that was too worn. Good memories and for me still one of the best looking series.
Spent a few hours on a 3020 but 4020's were my long time favourite, awesome tractor, a legend. That 9501 isn't even working hard with that little 3020. In hilly country and a full hopper you might want for a 6030. My uncle ran a 7721 with a 4840 and that combination really matched up well, no shortage of power. The first pull-type I got to run when I was about 14 was a JD 65, then a 96, followed by a 6601. Mostly self-propelled after that, all JD.
The best tractor ever made in tandem with the 4020 is the 3020. Its still my main tractor which I learned to drive 43 years ago. As far as the one in the video is concerned, whether or not it was turned up who cares. Its obvious that the gentleman is having fun with a straight pipe and duals bolted to it. Isn't that what farming is all about? You might as well have fun with the work you have to accomplish. An excellent video overall and keep up the great work.
I have a 68 3020. I use it with a transplanter, cultivator, plow, plastic mulch layer, 2 row potato digger, 4 row corn planter, and as power unit for a grain auger. It's a little tired and will need a rebuild soon. I plan on keeping it as long as I can!
Grew up on a 3020 that my grandpa had, also had a 2510. Planted a lot of corn and beans, sprayed, spread fertilizer yada yada. I did like those tractors and that's coming from a guy that bleeds red when it comes to tractors!
They can grow some pretty good crop of wheat there!!JUST SUPER GREAT to watch and listen to that hard working tractor. I had 3020 powershift. Would have liked to put it on this combine. That powshift real worked for pto work. Thanks 😊.
Great video. Pay attention all you other u tubers that post. No irritating and annoying background music. Just the sweet sound of machinery hard at work. 👍I did have a 4010 for a few years. Great pulling tractor.
I pulled a 600 Case pull type with my 3020. I had a Melroe pickup, and, that thing would eat a lot of small grain. I liked the Case, because it had a spike tooth cylinder and it made great straw for bedding, as well as doing a good job.
I never remember seeing it run but, my family had an Minneapolis Moline pull type combine with a 4 cylinder Wisconsin engine it sat in the barn for years finally went to sale in 1980.
Dad had a Ford 4000 3 cyl good tractor but my uncle had a 3020 with an AM radio! That was the hot setup for a teenage boy haha. Got to drive it some plowing and discing. My friend's dad had a 4020, all three were good old tractors.
I must have a sick mind ,just came in off of a 1961 3010 rc and I watch a tractor vid, , we still run the 3010 and a 2520 ,2010, 2020 1020, all Oldiesbut goodies .sold off the newer bigger stuff two years ago, time was green was the best , but now I wonder? after 65 years the old girls are more than iron , it's true they will talk to you just got to listen,, thanks for the vid
New Gens are the predominant tractors on my farm. A 2010, 3010, four 3020s, and two 4000s. My goal is to have one from every year they were built. All I’m missing is a 62, 68, 69, and 72.
Endless hours of cultivating corn in the summer as a kid on one of these. I was ten. It was a big step up from the A with the flywheel start. It even had a cab. I preferred the umbrella on the A cause I could shoot varmints right from the seat. Hard to believe that was over half a century ago!
I like how that guy is sitting on the fender running the show with one hand and not busting his neck to oversee the operation. You would'nt have slipped a turbocharger under that hood for more power?
Thanks for another great video. While we nearly fall over at todays machinery prices, I’m sure $8000 would have been a lot back then. Can you tell me how much was the 9501 was when new.
I've cut many acres of grass with a 3020 gas. (And a JD 1209 mo-conditioner) it was a joy to run and also was great running the blower. Now my brother is restoring it. Should be good as new yet this fall.
Cool to see the pull types going. 9500 self propelled vs of this is probly 180 hp so that 3020 is way under. The weight is probly more of an issue tho. A full hopper on that combine would shove that tractor down any hill it felt like in very uncontrolled fashion. 😮 Good thing its pretty flat there😅
The next Gen's did more with less HP than those of even today. The 2nd best generation of tractor that JD made. The 60 series was the last best series JD made.
I can see a 4020 pulling that harvester...especially up and down hills. But, you run what you have; I've pulled a 9 foot Ford mower/conditioner with an Allis Chalmers D10 back when I was a young boy. The Ford 5000 was tied up on another job. I enjoy your videos. Thanks.
Are we just gonna gloss over the work that's been done to this tractor to make it what it is? Guess the rest of us will have to go on FB to have a look at the turbo setup that's on this particular tractor.
My grandfather has a 1970 3020 Diesel row crop model. Originally it had an open station, but he put a King Cab on it in the late 70s. Always used it for the light work; occasionally pulling a John Deere LL-A press grain drill, sometimes the New Holland 55 rake, but always ran the IH 241 round baler until he bought a 1975 John Deere 4430 and used that for baling. Since then it has mostly sat in the shed except for being brought out once a year to get hooked up with the homemade wood splitter. It only has 5033 hours total.
@@coreymartin5185 I have never see one in real life and I live in the heart of the Midwest! Corn and beans everywhere. All combines are self propelled here.
My grandfather bought a 2020 series almost brand new back in the day.. boy we really thought we had went big after using an 8n ford for many years lol.. now my dad also bought a 3140 open station 2 wd 6 cyl diesel when i was late teens an that was real nice tractor too it had a real good front end loader too.. 👍 do you have any 3140 videos ? I like to see one this was a well enjoyed video an love the pull behind combine too that ine looks in good shape 👍
Put in 100’s of hours on one of those as kid in the late 60’s. This one’s working hard to power that bine suggesting that a lot of folks are over-tractored.😀
I farmed with my father and brother, we had 4 3020's, each had over 10,000 hours. Also a 4440 and 2 4250's, over 10,000 hr each. Lost of seat time on a potato farm.
Great video! That 3020 is really working, but doing the job. We have a '66 3020 that we mow rake and bale hay with. Do they use a swather to cut the wheat before the pull type combine does it's thing?
I operated a JD 3020 pulling a FMC green pea harvester. The harvester was run by a 6 cyl Deutz air cooled engine that we stopped once every two weeks for an oil change.
Love watching your videos some of them are hard for a farmer from the the 60-82 to wrap my head around. First tractor I drove was la case. To 2470 Last 2 tractor were 1486 international. Last combine 1460 international bought in 1979
It would be tempting to pull a 9501 with a heavily modified 893 corn head behind our S680....world's first 16 row combine pulling an 8 row pull type combine...I can't foresee any issues? Thanks for the video. I love watching the pull types.
I remember a neighbour had a 3020 which overturned when hauling a heavy slurry tanker. A crane turned it back on its wheels, and he drove it home minus exhaust and other bent bits!
My grandfathers brother bought a gas 3020 in the early 60’s, i was still pretty young. His son farmed for many years and most of his tractors were diesels. After all of those years he kept to 3020 and sometimes it would be the only tractor that would start in the winter.
That would be a lot of combine for a 5020 let alone a 3020. I'm an International man and that would be like me trying to pull a 1482 combine with my 706. the conditions must be perfect and you have to feed it light to make it work. The 3020 is pulling the combine but can't run it to capacity.

When I was a kid in the 60’s, my dad farmed 1000 acres with a 4010, 4020, 3020 gas,1010 w/loader and a 45 combine. Still wonder how he did that!!
Seems like that combine would need 125hp min. Am I wrong?
@@jrod264winmag My old 4320 was turned up to 180 HP. It done an OK job.
Oh you did not lol
@@markfroman738 My dad's largest tractor at one time was a '67 3020 and he was farming 380 acres and milking 28 cows in the early 70's.
My Dad said at one time, he had a 2020, a 3020, a couple 4020s, a 4620 and a 5020. I still have one of his 4020s and the 4620 hanging around still doing good work amongst the newer 9Rs, 8Rs, 7Rs, etc
That is an impressive line of of 20 series.
@@bigtractorpower My Dad really liked them and they were very dependable. I kinda wish we still had them all.
So great to finally see a 3020. That was what I grew up using
I still remember seeing my dad backing a brand new 3020 off the delivery truck it was gas but a huge step up from a super A farmall
We had a narrow front 3020 Diesel. I LOVED that tractor. Id jump on it over our 40 & 50 series cabbed tractors. I just bonded with it despite it being older than me.
I have a 1964 4020 row crop. The tractor was manufactured in Nov'63. I have owned it since 1983. I use it

We had 4 3020's when we farmed. My brother still has the one my dad bought new in 1971.
That sure seems like a big load on, and weight for, only a 70 PTO HP tractor, yet it is doing it just fine. I would have thought that even a bit much for a 4020. Very cool to see.
Me too!
I thought the same thing, that 3020 doing a great job driving combine harvester.
I wonder if that 3020 being turned a bit more than standard 🤔 .
I sure wouldnt want to run that setup on hills, but the 3020 sure seemed capable on this field
I ran a 6601 with a hundred horse , and that was really not enough . And that is a lot smaller than a 9501
Putting that 4 cylinder, 4.4 liter engine to work on that combine. A 3020 was the first tractor I got to drive growing up. Spent a lot of quality time raking hay, hauling wagons etc. When Dad trusted my driving skill, then I graduated to our 4620

Very cool. The 4020 is a solid tractor built to last.
I like to see pull type combines at work👍 nice to see a 3020 in action😁👍
Now there's something you don't see everyday. I used to run a 30-20 back when I was a kid but the 40-20 was my preference.
same
My favorite John Deere tractor of all time

1969 4020. Bought it primarily as a baler tractor. Until my IH 574 blew a head gasket. Now the 4020 is responsible for all of the farm labor.
I have a 68 3020. I use it with a transplanter, cultivator, plow, plastic mulch layer, 2 row potato digger, 4 row corn planter, and as power unit for a grain auger. It's a little tired and will need a rebuild soon. I plan on keeping it as long as I can!

The 3020 is a good all around tractor.
They can grow some pretty good crop of wheat there!!JUST SUPER GREAT to watch and listen to that hard working tractor. I had 3020 powershift. Would have liked to put it on this combine. That powshift real worked for pto work. Thanks 😊.
Also grew up driving a 1969 3020 diesel, started at age 9 in the mid 70's. I finally gave up on it after 15,000 to 16,000 hours on it in 2001.
That’s one long lasting tractor 👍👍
Ran a 3020 power shift for a neighbor in 1968 pulling a hay baler. I was 17 years old.
Very nice. Great baling tractor.
We had a narrow front 3020 in the mid 70's.Was a great tractor just wished back then had a wide front end. Thanks for sharing brings back memories

Great vid! The 9501 makes the 3020 smoke a bit!
It won't last much longer with this guy running it. 9501 is rated for 125 minimum HP.
Wow, that's a rare sight!
Definitely a rare sight.
I like those old machines
I own a 3020. Exellent tractor. Got a 46a front end loader on it. That tractor will be the last tractor to leave my farm.
“This 3020 is hard at work…..” you ain’t lyin’! 😯
It definitely it is.
I never remember seeing it run but, my family had an Minneapolis Moline pull type combine with a 4 cylinder Wisconsin engine it sat in the barn for years finally went to sale in 1980.

3020 is my first tractor
Very nice tractor.
Here in Eastern North Carolina we use to have an allis chalmers 72 pull type combine. We pulled it with a Ford 5610. Love old pull type combines

I liked the 4320 to 😮
My great grandpa worked for oliver when they we're in south bend indiana he worked there for years and retired from there.
I've just always love the idea of a pull type combine. Lot less expense to purchase, and run
Saw y'all at 100 years of hp today! Great show!
Endless hours of cultivating corn in the summer as a kid on one of these. I was ten. It was a big step up from the A with the flywheel start. It even had a cab. I preferred the umbrella on the A cause I could shoot varmints right from the seat. Hard to believe that was over half a century ago!

I know that’s something you don’t see every day anymore and the farm is a pole type Combine still great to see
Now that 👆🏻is a cool old unit 👌🏻
Excellent video!
Cool video thanks Jason 😎
A john deere 9500 had a 190 hp motor in it. It's funny to see a 70 hp 3020 running it
It is an interesting harvest team. Normally the farm uses a 175 hp 6030.

Since then it has mostly sat in the shed except for being brought out once a year to get hooked up with the homemade wood splitter. It only has 5033 hours total.
Never seen a 3020 with duels let alone pulling a combine that size! Lol
It’s a neat combination.
Very Very Awesome Great Job Thank You.
That’s a little tractor for the combine. I thought it would be better suited to a 4850. Old 3020 might be turned up a bit.
Why would you not put enough horsepower in front of that combine to utilize its full capacity.
Never seen the 9501, what a beast!
It was built for about one year 1990-1991.
@@bigtractorpower thanks for that info. I really enjoyed this and all your videos. Have a good day.
i love PT combines wish they still made them
Still use the 3020 to move some hay and run the cullimulcher some. Drill some beans here and there too.
Very nice. A 3020 on a cultimulcher is a cool combo.
Been on farms my whole life, never seen a pull behind combine before... does it run off pto or is it self powered? Awesome... Thx Jason!
Runs off the PTO

Put in 100’s of hours on one of those as kid in the late 60’s. This one’s working hard to power that bine suggesting that a lot of folks are over-tractored.😀
I farmed with my father and brother, we had 4 3020's, each had over 10,000 hours. Also a 4440 and 2 4250's, over 10,000 hr each. Lost of seat time on a potato farm.
Great video! I love those old/new pull-type combines!
Pretty cool. I did not know there was a tow behind combine.
Curious why a newer pull-type combine over a self-propelled combine? Interesting setup.
Great video! That 3020 is really working, but doing the job. We have a '66 3020 that we mow rake and bale hay with.
Do they use a swather to cut the wheat before the pull type combine does it's thing?
Great find!
Nice machine!!!!!!!
I operated a JD 3020 pulling a FMC green pea harvester. The harvester was run by a 6 cyl Deutz air cooled engine that we stopped once every two weeks for an oil change.
Those were the days. I sure wish I could film an FMC LV.
I don't know why but pull types intrigue me
Wow, I haven’t seen one of pull type combine since the early sixties and that was in Kansas
Oh hell the JD AR could handle it lol
👍👍
Great vídeo Jason
Love watching your videos some of them are hard for a farmer from the the 60-82 to wrap my head around. First tractor I drove was la case. To 2470 Last 2 tractor were 1486 international. Last combine 1460 international bought in 1979
It would be tempting to pull a 9501 with a heavily modified 893 corn head behind our S680....world's first 16 row combine pulling an 8 row pull type combine...I can't foresee any issues?
Thanks for the video. I love watching the pull types.
Or maybe an X9 1100 with a normal pull type to the right and a right hand pto one to the left to balance things out.
I remember a neighbour had a 3020 which overturned when hauling a heavy slurry tanker. A crane turned it back on its wheels, and he drove it home minus exhaust and other bent bits!
The 3020 is a well built tractor. Scary to flip one.
I've got 4620. Still use it for a lot of things.
My grandfathers brother bought a gas 3020 in the early 60’s, i was still pretty young. His son farmed for many years and most of his tractors were diesels. After all of those years he kept to 3020 and sometimes it would be the only tractor that would start in the winter.
I thought it was take a much bigger tractor to run the 9501
👍👍👍👍👍
Almost doesn’t seem possible that poor old tractor could power that class V combine...I mean it’s a 4 cylinder diesel!
The operator is an idiot. That combine is rated for 125 minimum HP.
M&W turbo and turned up a little? If it blows half as much heat back at the operator as the 3020 gasser, I know why he's
sitting on the fender.
great video Jason, never seen a combine like that, the 3020 is awesome
Spent many an hour on a 3020 also had a 3010 gasoline loader tractor
That would be a lot of combine for a 5020 let alone a 3020. I'm an International man and that would be like me trying to pull a 1482 combine with my 706. the conditions must be perfect and you have to feed it light to make it work. The 3020 is pulling the combine but can't run it to capacity.
This farm normally runs a 6030 on the 9501 but it was down for repair. Normally people are saying my videos are over powered 😁
This awesome my man this is beautiful stuff thankyou so much love to see things still done without computers 👍
Definitely a classic harvest setting.
