I remember that sound in the 60s and 70s as a kid when farmers around my way were out in the fields that beautiful sound never gets old nothing runs like a deere
I began operating our 1952 JD R when I was 8. 14 ft field cultivator ganged w same sized four-gang disk. Double cornering 80 A 1/2 mile long. I was barely taller than the clutch handle. My brother, 10 years older, did all the ploughing. Heck of a tractor. NW Lower Michigan. 560 A dairy and potato farm. Sandy-loam soils. Dad had the first tractor on rubber and the first R in the county.
I love the ole 2 cyclinders they sound so damn good and I don't know how many times I gotten my ass beat popping the hand clutch on grandpa's old 60. I was only about 8 raking hay with it
This 4 John Deere Tractors, remind me of Early March Season in Southern Michigan. Getting the Fields ready for Planting Corn, Re-planting Tomatoes, and Many other Crops in The Fields... Between Eau Claire and Dowiagic, Michigan. I miss those Days.
Never plowed with a John Deere but used a brush hog with a John Deere B for years love the sound........Thanks Dad for the experience & the memories.......Good Times.
I miss the old days with the old John Deeres. We farmed with an MT, B, 520 all gas tractors. Then we got the "R" with the gas pony engine that started the diesel motor. That one was awesome when blowing sileage up the pipe to the silo. I blew out smoke rings when you worked it hard but it pulled like a plow horse!!
My dad ran an R for a few years that had belonged to one of his brothers. I used to disk wheat fields in the Texas Panhandle with an 18’ Krause one-way. Pulled it like butter.
Beautifully done ! Love those 2 cylinders . Seems there aren’t too many of the under 50 crowd that are still interested in these machines. Thanks for creating this video!
Love the Ole John Deere's. My grandparents ran mainly John Deere's. 435, 730, Ole model A, 830 all diesel engines. Then the last John Deere they bought was a 2940 front wheel drive. I do love the farm work. Wished I could find someone that could use help on the farm.
I'm 26 and I agree. I'm restoring a 59 530 and eventually want to get an old 494a planter, 227 picker, and 50 sheller for it just to do the few acres I have. My brother and I farm together on dad's land with the new stuff, but nothing makes my day more than having an excuse to use old "putt putt" for something.
You ever wonder what today's farmers would make of how you actually needed to use more than a thumb, running these old things you still had that real connection to your land
@@goldbug66 , yep that was hard to do sometimes, Grandpa had an old JD plow that was a tough nut sometimes, pulling the rope at the right time so the cogs caught and pulled the plow up, was a knack, and getting it to release to drop the plow was sheer willpower.
I agree about the trip rope! I had a painful right arm at the start of every ploughing season. Here in Norfolk, England in a really hard frost pulling the rope to drop the plough was liable to cause the cast point to break when it dropped onto the iron-hard ground! It happened to me more than once. A year or two ago I mole drained a field that I had first ploughed using a Ransomes plough and 3 cylinder Fowler FD3 crawler with no cab in about 1960. When I moled it I was using our 380 hp Quadtrac with twin mounted mole, aircon working while I listened to the radio. If 50 years ago I could have seen myself I doubt that I would have believed my eyes. Now even that Quadtrac is outdated - I don't even have to steer my Claas Challenger, satellites do it for me while I keep an eye on what's happening and drink my coffee! I have some vintage tractors to play with, but I'm more than happy that things have moved on! John.

I grew up on a farm near Vleesbaai, Mosselbaai, RSA. Even though my dad was a Ford man, we both enjoyed the 'Boot boot boot boot' sound of the tractors. In our area they got the name of the 'Klop John Deere' because of that sound.
Makes me think of my late father, he loved his John Deere 70. There was just 2 rules 1) never over rev. the engine 2) never ever have someone sit on the mudguard, for any reason. 'Cause once the fall ..... by the time u see it its wayyy to late.
I seem to recall that my uncle had one of these John Deer diesels that started on gas then switched to diesel.........was I imagining this? I know he had to spin a large wheel to get it started as it didn't have an electric starter.
Dave Meers you are correct, the 730 and 830 diesel units came equipped with pony motors in colder climates...essentially you fired up the (gas) pony motor that would run 4000+ rpms, and that motor was used to turn over the diesel unit which essentially started the diesel.. RUclips JD 730 pony start....
we had a 720 diesel. it ran good other than the pony motor start. I swear I could out pull it with my old super 88 diesel oliver. dad pulled 2 14 plow with it I pulled 3 14 with my oliver. he'd have to get out of my way after a few rounds.
Greg Gergen my neighbor use to pull 3 bottom 16 inch mounted plow with a 520 John Deere and they did it non stop 24 hrs a day ,stopped to refuel and eat ,bathroom breaks. Pulled in third gear. He also had a 560 Farmall gas pulled 5bottom 14inch semi mounted plow in second year the farmall used to have to get out of the John Deere' s way every so many times around the field. . With the 560 he used 30 gallons of gas from 7:00 am to noon good gas was not as expensive back then, in the mid 60's. Many times in the middle of the night I remember hearing them out plowing , then I would drift back to sleep. Good old times .
@@allenboyer715 I had the exact same 560 set up my other tractors were massey harris 44 special pulling 3-14 pull type and a 444 with a 4-14 pull type. All my plows were olivers. Easiest pulling plows I ever saw.. talk fast those massey harris were fast they lapped everything my neighbors had and in first gear
Peter, On the ends, the head lands. A path was plowed to mark where to start and stop at both ends. But the furrow, the ditch the plow makes gives a big bump when you hit it, so they filled it back in. Some don't mark the ends because you do the head lands last. They just tidy up the short ends last.
Yeah. Wondered that too. Lol. Always ploughed headlands last so there was never a need to drive through any dead furrow. Lovely to hear and watch. Drove almost every one of the lettered 2 cylinder machines (A, B, D, H, M, R) as a kid plus the corresponding 2 digit series and a few examples of 20 and 30 series. Hard to imagine that a 60 was once one of our BIG tractors. :)
Классные вы, молодцы ребята! Земледелие, - основа жизни.
I remember that sound in the 60s and 70s as a kid when farmers around my way were out in the fields that beautiful sound never gets old nothing runs like a deere
It never gets old, Mike! I 100% agree!
Seeing that girl setting on the fender brings back a lot of good memories with my dad. May he rip
Beautiful. Good looking, smooth running 2-cylinders, plows set up almost perfectly. What a great day!
I loved this generation of John Deere tractors.
830 was my fav, but the R and 830 exhaust stacks were too short driving into the North Dakota wind, get blasted in the face.
I began operating our 1952 JD R when I was 8. 14 ft field cultivator ganged w same sized four-gang disk. Double cornering 80 A 1/2 mile long. I was barely taller than the clutch handle. My brother, 10 years older, did all the ploughing.
Heck of a tractor. NW Lower Michigan. 560 A dairy and potato farm. Sandy-loam soils. Dad had the first tractor on rubber and the first R in the county.
Nice video. Those guys were having a blast plowing up that field on a beautiful day with their restored John Deere machines. Thanks for sharing.
Could watch that all day long. Brought back wonderful memories.
Ohhhhhhhhh now THAT is music to my ears. Brings back so many great memories!
It is one thing to hear an engine starting and running. It is like heaven to hear them “TALK”.
Love the sound of Johnny poppers. They could work alllll dayyy long and never give up.
I love the ole 2 cyclinders they sound so damn good and I don't know how many times I gotten my ass beat popping the hand clutch on grandpa's old 60. I was only about 8 raking hay with it
Beautiful Tractors and Beautiful job of Plowing
North Dakota & Dan, I am with you, these are amazingly beautiful machines. I love the green and yellow. I am going to give my JD 950 a hug!
This 4 John Deere Tractors, remind me of Early March Season in Southern Michigan. Getting the Fields ready for Planting Corn, Re-planting Tomatoes, and Many other Crops in The Fields... Between Eau Claire and Dowiagic, Michigan. I miss those Days.
For a minute I thought this was our family video. Wow, love that sound. Miss the smell of diesel in the air.
Never plowed with a John Deere but used a brush hog with a John Deere B for years love the sound........Thanks Dad for the experience & the memories.......Good Times.
Dad had a 730D row crop with a 5-14 plow in ND. Spent many fall days plowing fields while growing up, can't forget the pop pop pop.
Good looking classic John Deere tractors 🚜! 😘🚜😀 Mike from Missouri
Great looking lineup. Power everywhere. Thanks for making this video.
Thanks for watching!
I love it when I see the ol 2 cylinders get a work out
Gorgeous restorations and then work them!!
Glad you like them!
That’s a beautiful sight and sound. I love the old two cylinders. My grandfather had a model A, a 620 and a 420.
That 630 is exactly what I want for my next tractor. Very nice lineup!
I miss the old days with the old John Deeres. We farmed with an MT, B, 520 all gas tractors. Then we got the "R" with the gas pony engine that started the diesel motor. That one was awesome when blowing sileage up the pipe to the silo. I blew out smoke rings when you worked it hard but it pulled like a plow horse!!
That classic John Deere diesel sound, makes me happy
so many double barrels going off the camera shakes a little XD, awesome collection, really cool to see them all working together
My dad ran an R for a few years that had belonged to one of his brothers. I used to disk wheat fields in the Texas Panhandle with an 18’ Krause one-way. Pulled it like butter.
The R is such a nice puller, right?

Boy that midwestern soil is rich. Love the John Deere two cylinders.
Absolutely beautiful tractors. I own an R and a 730D that I use to pull a 3 bottom 16 inch plow.
brings back memories of me with my grandad in NE Iowa. Nothing like a Johnny Popper
Loved the awesome hand clutch. Was almost killed a couple times by it. Glad jd progressed to the 10 series tractors
How cool is that! Some beautiful soil there.
Excellent Video. Thanks for sharing.
You cant beat that sound 😎 Simply beautiful 👌
I hate to sound like an old fud but I wish farming had never progressed beyond this point.
I'm 26 and I agree. I'm restoring a 59 530 and eventually want to get an old 494a planter, 227 picker, and 50 sheller for it just to do the few acres I have.

I don't miss the trip ropes!!!

Cool video. Look at that beautiful soil. thanks for posting.
Awesome, the whole family gets in on the job .

best sounding ploughing vid I have seen in years, never mind best looking !!!!
Thanks, Mopar! My Dad and Cousins sure have a nice collection of tractors.
The GREEN line, Classics gotta love it!
Great video,I grew up on a Deere
There is not a better video to watch on RUclips than this
Awesome video. Love the sound of the two cylinders.
Absolut great tractors in Action👍Gruß aus Germany
great video. i could watch that for hours.

Oh yes, the John Deere 730! Now that was the good ol' days with real tractors! The 730, the last of the putt-putts!
starting the R at 5:25 is my favourite part of this awesome video. old memories
Makes me think of my late father, he loved his John Deere 70. There was just 2 rules 1) never over rev. the engine 2) never ever have someone sit on the mudguard, for any reason. 'Cause once the fall ..... by the time u see it its wayyy to late.
WOW! What a collection! My dad was a John Deere dealer in the late 50’s and early 60’s where could I go to see these?
Awesome wish I could work with them again
I will love that sound until I pass❤️
Same here, Stumpy!
730 D barking from 5:03 >--5:18 is just pure music. 'R' at 5:33 isn't too bad either.
I once owned (5)JD 2 cyl tractors at once on my farm
JD B
JD B
JD 520
JD 60
JD 620
The fuel delivery guy loved me $$$$$$$$$$
Just awesome! I'll take them all!
I seem to recall that my uncle had one of these John Deer diesels that started on gas then switched to diesel.........was I imagining this? I know he had to spin a large wheel to get it started as it didn't have an electric starter.
Certainly, various McCormick Deering (International Harvester) tractors, such as the WD-9, did start on gas and then switched to diesel
Thanks for the info. I'm almost certain it was a 2 cylinder John Deer tractor but then again, that was nearly 60 years ago.
could it have started on gas then change to kerosene not diesel
Dave Meers you are correct, the 730 and 830 diesel units came equipped with pony motors in colder climates...essentially you fired up the (gas) pony motor that would run 4000+ rpms, and that motor was used to turn over the diesel unit which essentially started the diesel.. RUclips JD 730 pony start....
John Deere G had all fuel heads started on gas once engine warmed up switch to gas-diesel mixture.had more power and used less fuel
Nothing like the popping johnnys
Nice bunch of jds beatiful ground
That's awesome the whole family working together...3 generations... Families today are pansies cause you'll never see them working together like this
I hope no one takes the post the wrong way cause of my wording...no offense but families are distant anymore cause of technology
Old is gold
Muy pero muy bonito trabajo
Muy bonitos tractores
I favor the R Model personally
Que tractor bueno 22,000 horas aguantaba en la Argentina 5x14 pulgada
Those round things on the post by the muffler. Are they the GPS navigation control unit?
Please note I am joking.
Que tiempos!!!
Nice soil, none of that rocky red stuff like Alabama.......
Walt Disney specified Jony Popper engines to power the buses at Disneyland. They sounded just right.
As a kid we had a 730 gas 3020 gas and a 2030 Diesel on the farm
Is it true that if you set 5 running JD two-bangers together that eventually they’ll all get in sync? Like the 5 metronomes?
I'm not sure. I've never heard of this before.
Que bonitos me encantan
Almost all of them look exactly alike.
Which one is mine? XD
Ever need help, I’d drive from central Illinois!!!
Don't know why they plowed their headland before they finished the field, makes for a bumpy turn around.
Cool THX!
Why did they show so little of the eight thirty
I have another video just of this 830:

Nouthing Runs Like A Deere
we had a 720 diesel. it ran good other than the pony motor start. I swear I could out pull it with my old super 88 diesel oliver. dad pulled 2 14 plow with it I pulled 3 14 with my oliver. he'd have to get out of my way after a few rounds.
Greg Gergen my neighbor use to pull 3 bottom 16 inch mounted plow with a 520 John Deere and they did it non stop 24 hrs a day ,stopped to refuel and eat ,bathroom breaks. Pulled in third gear.

With the 560 he used 30 gallons of gas from 7:00 am to noon good gas was not as expensive back then, in the mid 60's. Many times in the middle of the night I remember hearing them out plowing , then I would drift back to sleep. Good old times .
Yeah but your Oliver didn't have that "great sound" and the pretty green and yellow paint!
@@allenboyer715 I had the exact same 560 set up my other tractors were massey harris 44 special pulling 3-14 pull type and a 444 with a 4-14 pull type. All my plows were olivers. Easiest pulling plows I ever saw.. talk fast those massey harris were fast they lapped everything my neighbors had and in first gear
@Greg Gergen according to several inflation calculators I've seen, .25¢ in the 60s would be about $2 today. So really it hasn't changed much.
👍
watching this vid is The Most Worthwhile thing I have done today!!, just plain beautiful
7:50 driver ought to grease some bearings, otherwise nice to look at :-)
I enjoyed that- thank you!
💪🏻👍
I like my has also John deere 5042 42 horse power
A Dodge Viper has 10 cylinders. And so do 5 of these tractors.
ok why was the guy at 327 driving down an already ploughed row please
He was scraping dirt to fill in the furrow as this was a part of the head lands that we drive over as we plow end to end back and forth.
Eliminates the "Dead furrow" horrific jolt as you drive over it.

They sound like they are missing.
Nope, not missing at all. That is what 2 cylinder tractors sound like.

Why plow when you can go to McDonald's for food?
The food that McDonald's cook come from the garden.
i live on a farm
That's better than having 5 hot girl friends !!!!!
Probably cheaper, too.
Oh man. Much better. Can you imagine the fights that would happen in that scenario?? 😮
