You’re right it’s always great to see a classic tractor out there working in the field and then believe me that guy was really working keeping up of two combines that some serious work to be done
The American built "Iron Horse" Sound Guard cabbed tractors were at least 10 years advanced compared with the competition of the time. Back in about 1977, the tractor division of the Ford Motor Company copied the John Deere Q cab but didn't bother with an offset front windscreen pillar. (e.g. Ford 7610) The Sound guard cab was very clever, but who ever designed it, wasn't clever enough to figure out that there was no good reason for the tractors exhaust pipe to protrude from the bonnet. We now know better don't we... P.S. One night back in the early eighties, I discovered that the Sound Guard cab has and orange light in its ceiling which highlights its orange gear stick knobs. Just how cool is that!?
For sure! The narrow nose next to the cab and the command arm design was such a big change. Case IH was forced to make the MX magnum series shortly after. Case even put out videos called “The Magnum Showdown “ to show how the new Deere design wasn’t good.
@@brianscherp6802 im 33 and i remember dad bring home the dvd that came with the tractor im australian . i remember the 8400 brand new i remember the 95e CAT brand new and i remember the CTS combine brand new...the good old 90's
We have a 8420 that we use on a 1150 bushel grain cart for soybeans. We use a case 280 on it for corn but after corn the 280 gets put on a fertilizer buggy to spread cover crop rye and crop wheat. We farm in western KY to.
It must be cool getting the opportunity to go on all these cool farms with a great range of machinery and I love the fact that you share it with us . Do you like going on these farms and talking to the farmers them self
We’ve got the newest and biggest mfwd Jd, but I still get made thinking about trading the 8400 in! It has been the best tractor we’ve owned on this farm!
If you do not know of him already, checkout "HubNut" on RUclips. He is a Brit who is currently travelling around NewZealand. Wow, NewZealand appears to be what Britain used to be. But whatever you do, do not mention the unmentionable to him such as: computer games in Mosques...
They are just used for grain. Fertilizer is trucked in on a tender trailer and loaded on the roadside into a spreader. I have a video featuring spreading and loading posted @ ruclips.net/video/l8uNLeUDSS8/видео.html
The 8400 and 8410 are my favorite John Deere tractors. Some over them have more than 225 hp as well. They are also better than the following 20 and 30 series
Next time the guy takes off in the 8400 tell him to rev it a abit shift a few gears rev some more shift a few more then go all out not all out then get the tractor jumping that’s so hard on it
I'm retired now, but I ran a lot of different makes and models of tractors and don't begin to understand why I see drivers in videos everywhere correct and over correct all the time... Can't they drive a straight line?
The grain cart would have to weigh about 55,000 pounds if it was loaded to 700 bushels since I would think it would weigh probably 13,000 pounds empty. The tractor appears to have more square inches of tire on the ground than the cart so the compaction from the cart, with only two tires, would seem to me to be the one item causing the most soil compaction, or am I missing something.
Old green meets new green. The old green was built before the "money men" took control of the "green" company and turned it into the equivalent of: Apple iPhones (software over hardware). iPhones soon become extinct, so will modern day John Deere tractors become uneconomic to operate in a dozen years from now too? OK, so the money men can afford to buyout the best manufacturing companies, but will our farmers be able to afford to maintain "the best" in a dozen years from now? I predict massive depreciation of the latest of the Green ones. However, the Unverferth company still appears be independent of: "the money men". Apparently, BMW has been selected to assist in the design of John Deere tractors. (Anyone who knows the true history of post WW1 Germany will know where I am coming from with that one)
I first set eyes on an "Iron Horse" (American built), Sound Gard cabbed John Deere 4230 back in 1975. About 7 years later I first set eyes on a German built John Deere Sound Guard Cabbed 2140. No comparison!
And in the same year, for a few weeks, I drove a hydraulic front wheel assist American built 4040. Heck did it eat its front tyres? 6 weeks road life tops!

Thank you for watching. This 8400 was constantly on the move.
8400s-8410s some of my favorite tractors to ever be built and some of the best Deere made

@@adrianchetwynd1334 Yep. Our 4640 had the same orange illuminating light. Pretty cool.
Thank you BTP.
I was excited to get to film an 8000. I hope to catch this one on spring tillage.
I had my 8300 over 17 years, almost no problems and about to flip 10K hours. And I truly believe it will hold up for a long time still!
Very cool. The 8300 is a nice tractor.
Jason Kotara they have the same 7.6L as the 4960 did so it makes sense
@@eternalthread7846 yep
We have an 8400 with a 6 way blade on it. Very fun tractor to use and operate. I’ve pushed a lot of brush piles up with that blade over the years
Very cool. Thank you for sharing.
I love these videos of older equipment working next to newer stuff great video 👌
Thank you for watching.
Good solid tractors. When they first released them they were quite a different design compared to the competition.
They set new standards in design and even the 8 in the model number was related by several other brands shortly there after.
For sure! The narrow nose next to the cab and the command arm design was such a big change. Case IH was forced to make the MX magnum series shortly after. Case even put out videos called “The Magnum Showdown “ to show how the new Deere design wasn’t good.

We have a 8400 that we use for planting and also pulling our grain cart. Very good tractor!
😁👍👍. What type of planter and cart do you run.
Same here
@@bigtractorpower We have a John Deere 1760 12 row planter and Kilbros 590 grain cart.

Very cool. Sounds like a nice set up.
I guess that 8400 style is the bigger brother of the 7810, very impressive, I didn't see a lot of them in the fields, thanks for showing it

Hopefully, BTP one day can fly up to Great Falls MT and drive on up to Shelby and visit with Welker Farms!!!
That dude is rly hard on that tractor.
We’ve got the newest and biggest mfwd Jd, but I still get made thinking about trading the 8400 in! It has been the best tractor we’ve owned on this farm!
Love these streams thank you sir
😁👍👍. Thank you for watching.
In New Zealand 🇳🇿 we have a 8400 used for rolling on a potato farm and a versatile use for deep sub soiling
If you do not know of him already, checkout "HubNut" on RUclips. He is a Brit who is currently travelling around NewZealand.
Wow, NewZealand appears to be what Britain used to be.
But whatever you do, do not mention the unmentionable to him such as: computer games in Mosques...
An 8400 used for "rolling"? How many miles wide is the roller?
My vintage 2 stroke engined, 2 wheel drive, Commie built Travant, can pull an 80 foot wide roller...
God bless America (or is it God bless Israel now?)
I'm an old timer, so not sure which is applicable these days...
It’s a four peace roller each 30 ton
Nice drone shots!
Thank you. Flightdubs filmed this field for me.
Those was some nice tractors lots of folks round here pulled scrapers with them
😁👍👍
Thanks for all the explanation. It was an interesting video 👍🏻
Thank you for watching.
Thanks B T P. Keep them coming.
😁👍👍
I must say , at least from my novice Point of view. you really do good camera work. And you do have quite the vast wealth of knowledge.
Good job sir
Thank you for watching. I enjoy getting to film these tractors and share them on RUclips.
Nothing Runs Like A Deere! 😍😍😍💪👍
Exelente video como siempre saludos
😁👍
Very popular tractor round here in it's day
😁👍
Awesome Video!!
I hope to find more 8000 and 8010 tractors to feature.
I remember seeing these tractors at the farm progress show the first year they came out. Now they look old and I feel old!!😏
I remember seeing the 8400 and thinking wow this has as much horse power as an 8630.
Beautiful! Great work! I always enjoy the content and entertainment you bring to you fans! Thank you!
Thank you for watching.
Yeah these are my favorite JD's pre hi-tec gubbins.
👍👍
Put many a hour on an 8400 in my years 👍
😁👍👍
Nice !!!
Thank you for watching.
Heavily underrated they make a lot more than 225 pto more like 250+ Deere has always been conservative with pto hp
I always go by the sales brochure listing for horse power but no doubt an 8400 can crank out some horse power.
Do you guys use grain carts to haul solid fertilizer too or just grain?
They are just used for grain. Fertilizer is trucked in on a tender trailer and loaded on the roadside into a spreader. I have a video featuring spreading and loading posted @ ruclips.net/video/l8uNLeUDSS8/видео.html
Not to Troll, but I believe your description should read 8400 and not 4955.
Thank you. I copied the text from a 4955 video I made. I have corrected the text.
The 8400 and 8410 are my favorite John Deere tractors. Some over them have more than 225 hp as well. They are also better than the following 20 and 30 series

i just love the older deere´s and those mack trucks uhm what a cool day you must have had

I think he is zig zagging a little so he gets a more even distribution in the grain cart.
sad to see a 8400 in that condition
So poorly? You're criticizing another farmer? Yikes dude, grow up
sorry, I was a little harsh, but that tractor deserves a little love
Agree
Lol... There's no dusty combining like soybeans.
It’s the toughest crop to film. Sun, wind and dust are never in the right direction.
Tell him he needs a 8400r not a 8400 😂
Both are good tractors.
There both reliable
I know just trying to be funny

That 8400 looks so tiny compared to those combines.
It’s big compared to the grain cart
I have said this before: Which is best? Ten happy farming families or just one rich farming corporation?
1,000 acres times ten, versus 10,000 acres times one?
✌️✌️✌️
😁
Tractor needs front wheels tracked / Aligned .
y live tout chaine but wat the fucking publiciting??? thanks y love toi god bless america
