My Dad and Uncle were both John Deere dealership owners and I was around “Big Green” all my life naturally. I still love the old pop-pop 40’s, 420’s, but in this line I think the 4020 was one of the best all around tractors. This video brings great memories though, I lost my Dad two days after Thanksgiving 2021. I will carry on as long as I can.
theyre more computerized now but still good machines the secret to it is NEVER loan somethin like cause sum fucked up dumass could abuse it and fuck it up i NEVER loan anything i have most people dont have no regard for others peoples equipment
Boy there are sure a lot of sourpusses here. "Waaaa he's going too fast!" "Bu bu bu he doesn't have enough bottoms!" "Boo hoo this field was already disked!" "Dur if they were plowing in X they couldn't go that fast because X!" Of course they're showing off. This is the farm equivalent of a classic cruise-in and drag. You don't go to those to see a rusty stock 70's Mustang drive conservatively down the strip. Unclench those cheeks and enjoy a beautiful old hot rod JD tearing it up! We had a 4430, a 4020 and a 3020 on our hay farm growing up in the 90's. All restored to factory new, and my dad made me wash and wax them every spring and kept clean between cuttings. We ran Freeman 2 tie balers behind, also painted nice. I hated all the work keeping them clean, but I also loved knowing we had the best looking fleet in the county. Still love seeing that vintage of tractors.
thanks robert first time in the field with that tractor i was tryimg to break in that motor by pulling it but even in 5th gear it didnt pull it very much had a great time that day
Farmers are one of the hardest working and worse payed people in this country. I was a farmer in mexico when I was a kid,But we didnt have this kind of equipment because there was no money to buy such things,We did it mostly all by hand. Thats why I know how hard and honest and God guided this people are. God Bless the US and protects them from the evil politicians no matter the name or political party they belong to
I worked for a friend and we restored a 6030 with a 619 also. We're in Northern IL and pulled a 7/18 oliver plow 6-8 inches deep. That was an awesome combo to plow with. I actually did alot of plowing with it...not really nice to run, but it was fun anyway.
Had to be pulling that plow in 6th gear. Wasn't the 6030 just a 5020 with a turbo? Spent many hours on the 5020's back in the 70' and early 80's.Have the hearing loss to prove it! Thanks Big Tractor Power for all the great videos. Makes me feel like I'm 18 again.
There are some key differences between a 6030 and 5020. I will have to get the sales brochures out and compare. A 5020 vs a 6030 might make a good specification video in the future.
@@bigtractorpower Great idea! Your BigTractorPower videos feature authoritative, accurate information and that, almost as much as the excellent cinematography and editing, led me to subscribe to the channel. So, do you have all the original sales brochures? I grew up on John Deere and regularly plundered our dealer's showroom for those New Generation brochures. By the time I left for college in 1968, my literature stack covered everything from the 1010 to the 5010 and the 1020 (and 2510) through the 5020. A career in defense aerospace took me a world away from our small farm on the mid-Missouri prairie, and somehow all those wonderful brochures are long gone. Now I watch RUclips and marvel at technology like gigantic differential GPS-guided tractors and combines. The most extreme tech we had then was when my dad equipped our open-cockpit 1950s-era two-cylinder John Deere tractors with AM radios but it was terrific - plowing (moldboard plowing!) after school blasting rock and roll on the radio!
I hear ya. It's like that here in north eastern NY too. We just creep along and try not to go rolling down all our steep fields. Seems this area is better for grazing, cows of course, but I think sheep and goats would be the way to go in my opinion, but it just never really took here. Winters are hard here too so that doesn't help either
Needs Raydex bottoms , we have a few rocks of that nature here in Michigan also , but we've sold alot of them to the yuppies too , they think theyre cute , I've seen pasture you could walk across and literally not touch the ground .
@@aaronwarr34 Boy could I tell you some stories , used to do mechanic work for a guy that did nothing but sell rocks by the ton / graveltrsin load / 160,000lbs , he would clean out fencerows ,charge the farmer a reasonable price , sell the rocks , and the excavating / landscapers would drive 50-60 mi one way to get them , what a racket .
I get what your saying from an historical perspective, but another way to look at it is, going to a strip club and being sad because the girls are better looking than the gals you see on the street.
I’m a big John Deere 4430 guy. The person who had our 4430 before us used to us it as a pulling tractor yeah it has enough power to pull our 9 shank chisel plow through the fields. We are the second owner of the tractor and when dad and grandpa bought it it only had rops on it so my dad later put a freshly redone cab on it till this day she still Gallup’s. I think it had about 2,000 hours on it when my grandpa bought it
I can't believe how fast he's plowing! Appears to be almost 14 miles per hour! Toward the end of the video that was a red tractor with a white covered top plowing at what I expect a typical 1970s plowing speed to be. Takes a lot of horsepower to plow at 14 miles an hour.
Come.nto que mi pri.mer combate de trabajo fue un 4020 jonndeere mecoento felis manejarlos asta ahora Tengo yamis años pero no me olvidó es lomaxcimo gracias Ami esfuerzo estoy muy contento de tener 1 de esta marca gracias
Damn nice looking 6030, my favorite example of the 20 series tractors, well the 7020/7520 were pretty sweet too, pretty much haven’t seen a green tractor that wasn’t my favorite:)
250 bu corn produces a bunch of stalks. Even back in the 70’s the flail shredded or disked before plowing. Back then 100 bu corn was big. These older plows are not built to plow freshly harvested stalks. They plug up fast if the stalks are not sized.
Don’t recall seeing many 6030s growing up. Thanks for showing this one. Yeah he does seem to be go just a touch fast. Probably influenced by the crowd and cameras.
He's making a fool of himself, hrs trying to show how big and powerful the 6030 is, but the plow isn't more than 4 inches in the ground, where I come from we plow 8" and the 6030 wouldn't hang
@@RJ1999x ,,, couldn't keep the front axle of our 4020 on the ground either. Was such an improvement when we traded it for an 856 Farmall, with a spring reset plow, vs the JD hydraulic reset.
The tractor's bouncing at the front, but the operator doesn't look like he's moving around too much. Doesn't look too bad compared to riding a hard pan seat bolted right to the rear of the tractor. I've gotten my most jarring shots from small tractors and hard seats with no high speed needed. Recall my grandfather doing everything balls to the wall with no regard for himself. He started off cultivating with mules and I think he was just so happy that the tractor never sat at the end of a row.
I enjoy all the old tractors thanks for showing us these tractors that you seem to find when you're on the road and I really appreciate it have a great night
Mark Holcomb how many Clydesdales is that putting out? Iv got a VT 903 in my .kenworth and thats putting out around 380. Its got a bigger N14 turbo on her thoughh pumping up to 20 psi. The 903s sound beautiful and when set right they do pull.. love to see a vid of it mate. How did you mate it with the JD housing?
Dam I remember those days rideing on the fenders of those Ford 5000 and 4020 John Deere untill the windows came out my butt got tired of rideing that fender
Starting by putting Wagner out of business? They asked for collaboration with Wagner, in doing so JD hid a non compete clause in the contract. Helluva way to say thanks....
Here I was thinking that was a Kinze repower. She sure scoots along with all that plow. That would still be a 5x14 plow tractor around here where there's slick, dense yellow clay. Probably 4x14 or 16 when you get closer to Lake Michigan where they have that tight red clay. That stuff is sticky, too. Like a dog turd on a lawn mower tire sticky. Lol! Now that I think of it, my 560D might actually be a 5x14 puller in that area of Ky. Sounds like fun!! :vD Don't know if I mentioned it before, but I posted a playlist of short clips of my 806, 120 mower & 2A conditioner on my channel if you are interested in checking it out. If I did mention it, my apologies, I'm a bit forgetful. Regards!
That is a dam nice tractor, got a lot of power for what it is..but as i watch & see where this engine came from, i see why he's pulling his 6 bottom plow across the field at 8 or 9 mph, excellent set up ...looks new...

I am sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. The Two Cylinders are solid tractors. My favorite is the 720. The 4020 is one of the all time greats.
Boy this video sure hits home and brings back memories. We pulled 7 16 with a 5020 with a turbo
Back when John Deere made good tractors

Needs a couple more bottoms , loving it ,I grew up on the 4020 ‘s in the 70’s
I ran a 6030 when I was a kid. Best tractors that I ever ran.
That tractor is tearing the hell out of the ground. Just awesome!!
Love seeing old tractors running fields
I like finding these classics to film.
Yeah you do until you run one for multiple hours on end 😂😉

I like a 6030 orginal and drive it like it was designed, which is more interesting and satisfying.
That’s like going to the drag strip and being bummed out because all of the cars aren’t stock.
The 619 is the john deere replacement engine for the 6030.Updated version of the same block.

Very cool.
What a stout machine. Man that thing pulls that plow awesome

yes stani watched themat rantoul about ten years ago so i had to get me one to play with

The pure definition of a muscle tractor right there ! What a beast !
The 6030 is a stand out power house.

Toward the end of the video that was a red tractor with a white covered top plowing at what I expect a typical 1970s plowing speed to be. Takes a lot of horsepower to plow at 14 miles an hour.

I have filmed 6030s and 7520s. I have not had a chance to catch up to a 7020 yet. Hopefully one will turn up to film.
Awesome tractor TY for sharing
My favorite John Deere tractor !!!! The mighty 6030 !!!!
It is one of the greats.
Going at that speed in a Connecticut field (except in flood plain) would be an occasion for scrap metal spread all over. lol
Good God that tractor is bouncing all over.
Needs more weights and water...
Going to fast , showing off, go deeper ,get bigger plow or just calm down.
He’s just showing off
This is just satisfying to watch… great video and great information
Does anybody else notice the field has already.been disked?

Thank you mr big tractor you are a professional you make the best and most interesting videos
Thank you for watching. It is exciting to film these machines to share here on RUclips.
Coisa mais linda esses tratores antigo trabalhando 👍
NADA TRABAJA COMO UN JOHN DEERE
The 6030 tractors were amazing ly strong and powerful and one of the toughest jd machines ever built
one bad ass machine an xtremely heavy ass tractor as well
That thing is a beast !!!
😁👍
It's not how fast you plow it's how well you plow fast
Very special, thanks
Looked like some of the grandpa's had granddauhters riding with them. Grandpa or the rider will never forget the moment they shared.
Grandad ran one of these. He said the floor plates would get so hot it would burn your hand for some reason, but the tractor would pull a house down.
For me this is my favourite video in entire RUclips
When you got engines sounding like that yes just been listening to George Saunders and his Ford TW
George has a very nice TW.
I enjoy all the older JD tractors
😁👍👍
I know its nowhere near the horsepower of this tractor... we had a 3010 growing up. Got to love the old jd tractors, made to last
John deere power full👊👍
Dam those straight crome pipes sound good
Yeah, just try riding that bouncing tractor from sunup to sundown at that speed. Ridiculous!
Paul Franklin well it’s a show, so doubtful he does that on the regular. Just enjoy the video.

Definitely not bouncing all that much. I got the exact same tractor and have ran it from sun up past sun down with no issues.
I’ve done it.

Really Nice 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It’s not necessary but he was enjoying the plow day and opening up his tractor to see what it could do.
fantastic
