Back in the mid 80s my dad had a 4620 with heat and air cab dual wheels and a front end loader..he sold it and bought a 3020 which I still have and as of this week I found the 4620 my dad had and fixing to get it..that was a beast of a tractor for a kid in high school..love the old tractors
Great history. The 4620 was big power in its day. They look great with a cab and duals.
Yes for sure..this one is about to be up and going again..its going to be pretty cool to run it again too..
The workhorse of the Deere stable was the 4020, that was our primary tractor that had just enough horsepower for the tillage and everything below. The 4020 with a year-a-round cab is probably the only tractor I miss from the farm that I grew up with using. Used a 3 shank straight tooth ripper that was a workout to pull, but she did it with little to no regret.
40 20 was one heck of a workhorse, neighbor had one, on our place it was the 9ase 930, biggest tractor we ever had
@@benscoles5085 we also has a case 830 with a new idea loader, gas though.
We got a 3020 and a 4020 and 4440 and 4050. My dad and my grandpa used
Truly the golden years of farming, IMO, & feel very grateful for being a very small part of it. My favorite during those years was the 1066 - just a great, tough, versatile tractor.
It was an awesome time in farming. I am glad I can capture some throw backs like these still hard at work to share.
@@bigtractorpower Yes, and you do a beautiful job doing it, too. Thank you. 🙏
I grew up on a 7060 Allis, that straight pipe was music to my ears.
it’s always good to see these old iron ones brings back memories
All are good! I'm never tired of old big iron footage with growling engines while hammer chiseld or disk in hard ground. Thanks for sharing and do more if possible 😊.
Great video. That 1566 can do more than just pull a wagon! I'm an IH guy, but would love to see an AC 220 or D21 move some dirt.
My favorite was an International 1066 Turbo. Used it the most !
the old ones go on and on, thanks for posting.
Oliver doing a really nice job on tilling. Moline didn’t seem to do much at all. Great videos of these machine’s
The Moline was basically just chopping stalks in front of a coulter chisel. The 2255 was making a primary.
This is the iron I grew up around. I really appreciate these videos Jason. Thanks for sharing!!😁 GO BTP!!💪
Me too!
Very very nice to see the old iron horses at work, like the Ford and MF because they are not seen so much anymore
I had a Ford 5000,AC 190 and 6080fwd it's tough to pick but I have a passion for Allis-Chalmers.
Thanks for the memories! When Deere introduced the Sound Guard cab in '72 it was a game changer!
Hands down the nicest line of tractors in 1972 !
We had a MM 1355 when I was a kid. Always liked that tractor.
😎😎👍Thanks for the walk down memory lane! Big Bud looks good with the new tires!
My Dad went out to Montana to see Big Bud,He fell in love with it when We saw it for the first time at FarmFest in 1976
Awesome footage of the Big Bud 747! I love running old iron and watching it work!
In my opinion. The 70s 120-180hp tractors were the best workhorses. It's still expensive to maintain but not as worse as the big 4x4 and newer tractors. I own a 74 Case 1270 with hub duals, rebuilt pwrshift. I can pull 11 shank chisel plow, and a 20ft gang disc. I had a guy that I was buying an implement. He owned a Case 2390. He said the 90 series Cases has electric problems compared to the 70 series Case. He used to own a 1370. He said the 1370 was a better tractor than the 2390. I'm glad I brought a big 70s workhorse.
Cool . I just got done working land with a case 970 . Peace and love from Wisconsin.
I enjoyed watching this issue of Big Tractors. I owned a 5020, 4230, and had use of a 4320. I am a Deere man all the way, but know there are good tractors no matter what brand.
I like the Case agri king series of tractors i feel Minneapolis Moline tractors are highly underrated and for 12-15k is a bargain for a quality big tractor
I'm 14 years old and I have 17 thousand saved up for a 6030
Where did you get that money at 14?😂
Keep it to yourself how much you got saved young man, but I sure hope you get your tractor. Good luck!!
Good for you bro, we need more young agriculture folks like you
@@madeinamerica7792 He is probably working his tail off for his dream. I hope he succeeds!
Hi Matt, that’s excellent saving for such a young man but please never, ever tell anyone how much money you have. Especially when it’s a lot like you’ve got. Good luck with the tractor my friend. Read some investing books on Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger and Terry Smith too if you like.
My sentimental favorite will always be the JD 4320. First tractor I ever went to the field with. I was 9. But truly working, my fav would be my old JD4440 powershift.
The farmer I worked for bought a 1026 in the early 70's. The farm is now gone but that tractor is still working! Mostly hay.
Minneapolis Moline G1000 is my favorite. Have 3 and still use them.
I have a g705 and a m5 MM powerful tractors
Our family farm had a lot of I.H. Tractors. The one we had from this era (I think ?) was a model 1466. That tractor did a LOT of work for us !
Dad and I had an IH 856 and uncle had 806 ! Those were powerful for us !
I appreciate you sharing this , you made my day better. I grew up and farmed in this era of equipment. I can remember when these ole girls were new on the lot . Thanks friend!
9700 Ford and 1100 magazine Ferguson are my favorite. I like all of the older tractors.
Big Bud is still my favourite. Great to see it working again.
Awesome video! Thank you! Lots of 2wd sport tractors and a couple of convertibles 👍👌
That Versatile and the Big Bud sure sound good!
boy thats right out of the time frame of my farming career graduated from high school in 70 and rented my first farm on stock shares!! so all of them tractor are great but l am all orange so l started with a d19 then 185 then 190 that was a great tractor ran it 10 year with out touching motor then 210 wish l still had it and my last was a 7045 great tractor also for 2nd tractor ran a 1750 oliver good tractor also at the end had a 6080 FWD great chore tractor!!!! IF COULDNT RUN AC l liked MM and OLIVER!! GREAT VIDEO and l be watchin!!!!
My number one tractor of the 70’s is case 1270.
Mine as well. We had a 78 model year one. Wish we still did.
We had a 1975 1270 which was our big tractor but eventually became our small tractor after buying a 335 hp Steiger. We used it for seeding and a 25’ chisel plow or heavy duty cultivator. And then later to pull a 8 row planter and row crop cultivator and a 120 sprayer. Great tractor
I love hearing tractors at work and I'm so glad I found your channel a few years back!
Besides Minni Mo I always loved the WHITE 2-180
1566 best trackor. My Dad farmed with 1 i loved it 😍 ❤
hey lisa i farmed back in the 60s thru the early 80s seeing these tractors brings back memories anyway just wanted to say hi
Two that I owned in the past that I liked were JD 4320 and 4440. Also had earlier a 4010 and an IH 806. All of these were good tractors.
We started out with an 830 ' 4020 ' 5020 ' 4250 and finally an 8760.
Never going back to anything other than deere. We had an international. 1066 and a couple case 1070s.
Had on of these when I was on the farm. Love it.
Great tractors for sure.
That would be the case 1370 my uncle ran one with a heater cab it was the biggest tractor I'd ever seen
Hands down 66 series of International... 1066, 1466, 1566
John Deere 4020. Then 4430. We had a 4320 for a while too. Got our first 4010 when they first came out around 1961
Yeah. Back when you could make a good family living on a farm. We still use some of them. Farmall 806. Farmall 806 4×4. International 1066
Ford 9600 open station my favorite from the 70s
That 9700 FORD was a hauling with that plow!
That was me. 5th hi maybe 2000 rpm.
@@russelljhoffman very nice set up man 👍🏻. Nice to see people who know how to pull plows
My favorite tractors of the 70's included the IH 1486 4wd, and the JD 7010.
😁👍
I lived on a dairy farm in Upstate N.Y with my mother and stepfather and luckily it was a nice free stall operation.They had a 3010,4020 and a 5020 which was badass. But then my stepfather bought a run down old little farm with one run down small Oliver and he got a small Ford selecto- matic, life sucked.Than I joined the Seabees and ran some nice big stuff....over 40 years later I had my fill .But I wouldn't mind doing some tractor operating out west during the season. John Deere ...number one.
Love the 6030
Equipment you can still work on.......imagine that!
We had a Case 1270.
Great tractor
Very nice.
Love those tractors out of the 70s
love your old stuff vids jason, cheers, im away to enjoy this matey 🏴👌🏻
Such a great list. You are really doing great work by videoing these tractors in action. 50 years from now we will look back at these and wonder how farmers managed with such archaic machinery
During the 1970s, the Case 1370 was my favorite.
Every time I see a 2255 I keep telling myself I need to start working on mine. Wish my wallet was deeper. Lol
My uncle had Massey's on their dairy farm. Two 1100's and a 1130. Always liked that model and sure enjoyed seeing one on here.
LOve the deep bottom one way plows,,,, they make dirt look like a wake behind a boat !
Great video all great tractors 1370 is my favourite
I'm partial to the 1066 Black stripe IH, 1466 IH Black stripe , 7080 AC, 185,190 & 200 AC & of Course 1175 , 1370 & 1570 Case . As this is what my family ran on the farm & in the excavation business throughout the years.
The 900 versatile my Grandfather purchased was a beast. Normally aspirated 903 Cummins V8 some loved them others hated....Still running a great machine.
I like all cars and tractors in the 70s and 80s my favorite one was a 4020 or a 4320
😁👍👍
Had a 1100 and 1135 loved them to death.
Wouldn't mind a go on that Allis 8550!
It’s a cool tractor.
So much winning in this video! That 9700 looked great but I had more favorites too!! Too hard to pick!!
Thanks. The 9700 is mine. Did the paint myself.
@@russelljhoffman you done a great job on it! Looks to be ready for many more years of work.
Favorite is the 4020 because that’s what my dad had. 4320 is also a favorite. In the early ‘70’s, the typical Southwestern Indiana farmer had a 90 to 100 hp tractor seems like. Neighbors had Massey 1100s, IH 1066, AC 190, etc.
I worked my through college and after to pay my loan. I worked for several farmers. I have driven many of these.
Oliver 1850, Case 1370, Allis Chalmers 8550, and many other Oliver, Case, International, and John Deere.
The big bud is an impressive machine, but I think all of them are nice😁👍
International 1456 and Oliver 1555 😍
Wow! These vintage tractors are still powerful huh? 🤩 Love your videos! Keep posting them!
John Deere 4840 and 8640 were the bad boys of the 70’s.
I still own my deceased grandpaps 1970 ford 5000 he bought brand new. Still runs like a top and solid yet.
Does it have a Cab ?? My Grandpa had one on our ranch , I remember when I was about 8 the neighbor needed a 70 ft. mobile home moved , so he just hooked up to it with the ole" 5000 and took it down the road about 5 miles !! Was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen !! 😉👍
No sir. It is open station. Also has the select o speed transmission which is fairly rare I have seen but really slick setup. No need to clutch just shift it on go.
@@michaeldouglas1243 Rare Indeed , you have a Classic piece of All-Business-Heavy- Iron- Mule in that Tractor ... Hope it says in the Family forever !! I plowed and shredded many acres with ours , & have great past memories , as I'm sure you have also !! Big Thumbs up on it !! 😉👍
I left one of papa's tractors go from when I was a kid and I'm 44 now and I've regretted it since so never again. He has an old 1949 8n with a Montgomery Ward loader on it. I had an old tractor collector tell me that loader was extremely rare shame on me. Lol
It was all worn out and fairly bad shape cause we used it for loading manure mainly and the manure juice ate it up pretty bad.
We were a JD family, first one I ran was a old 720 as a kid about 1968 but I can’t count the hours I spent on legendary 4020’s. We had a 4520 later that I loved, Soundgard cab, but I spent more time in the 7520, great tractor, so is was cool to see the 6030. A 4440, 4840 and a 8440 followed but by then I was away to collage. Went home for harvest for many, many years so would love to see a video of combines like this and into the 80’s and 90’s.
1370 is my favorite
Great video always enjoy watching the classic stuff getting it done
A favorite from the '70s would be an IH hydro 70. Wouldn't mind having one, either.
I love the sound of those old Masseys
2255 Oliver, that’s the coolest ever
My choices of the Big Iron tractors of the 70s are, Allis Chalmers 8550 & John Deere 6030 👍🏻
Tha cat that waved had to be goin 10 mph! High speed tillage. Now he is a 🌟!!
Ford 9600 was my favorite growing up
My dad was a mechanic for a MF dealer. He serviced the 1080 thru 1150 tractors.
Can't go wrong with any of those old tractors
The are solid tractors.
My first time plowing was in a 8960 with my dad. Remember watching a 7520, then a 8640. First tractor I ran alone 4430 chopping stalks. Then 4020 picking round bails, 4640 grain carting. Now that's a 7800 catching from a 9600 and 8120 IH. Plowed a lot with a New Holland 9882, now it's a Case 600 and 9620R. I'm 33 at the time of writing this.
Massey Ferguson 1100 is the first tractor I learned to drive.
I ran alot if hours in a 1370 case fir my cousin when I worked for him in the farm.lived that tractor.best on next to his old 4240 JD.
We have a 1979 Massey Fergusson 2675 that we use for bush hogging and spraying corn.
All the tractors you showed are my favorite ones . But I also liked the david brown. Sorry you didn't show that one. I helped a guy who had one pulled a six bottom plow. It was an awesome tractor. He had a jd to . Loved them all from back in the day. Ha ha at least you could work on them. 😀👍
The 70s was actually the eighth decade of the century....a point to ponder. We had a JD 4230, 4430, 4630 and Allis 8550. Lost the farm due to the high interest rates of the 80s coupled with low grain prices. Thankfully a local farmer here on Vancouver Island has given me a place on his team this past year when COVID hit to help me through the emotional impact that it has had on many of us. I have a lot of photos and videos from this year's work posted on my facebook if you are interested.
Farm I worked on had an old 5020. Also a "new" 4840. Also a 4240 with cab. And a 3020 used for mowing pecan orchards. Those were the days.
1086 International, still a classic
I have an IH 986, 1086 and 1486. All good tractors.
I rode with my dad when I was 6 or 7 in what amounted to a new 1086 in the early 80's....ran my grandpa's 806 that he bought new when I was in high school, still have and use the 806 and have a 1086...there are arguments made that there are better tractors but I love em.
I still love the tractors from the 70s and 80s. I still use them on the farm today.
They've helped keep me afloat financially that's for sure, the crops don't care how old they are and I can work on every part of them!
Same here. These tractors are paid for and still have a lot life left in them.
12 minutes to finally see a white god I love them had several
Loved this video Bigtractorpower. Great work!
Love the ih 66 series
My best memory is the Ford 8000.
All great tractors
Love all the old iron I grew up on a small Dairy farm milk 50-60 threw out the 80s farm with a 2020 John Deere and a 4010 that we put a turbo on Dyno 125 and a 1978 4430 when Dad bought that I thought I was driving a Cadillac
My favorite tractors were Caterpillar D4-D8 Ag crawlers. There was a farmer in Iowa that had a 180hp D7E that pulled a fifteen bottom plow.
For AC the D21. For Deere, the 2840 always had my love.
Always wanted to run a 6030. Dad had 4020, and 4520 turned up.
