That John Deere dealer was impressive. I would love to own some of those classics they had including the 8020. Most would be overkill for my 20 acres but I wouldn't care lol.
You guys run an awesome video.love the old 8020 my dad at one time had a John Deere dealership in over his lifetime he has 1120 and 1830 many 420s for 420 crawler and an 830 diesel so I understand your passion for antiques.
Great field trip to Sloan! You gotta love the new stuff but give me the old 10, 20, and 30 series those are a tractor. Farmer Ken in California never stop farming !
Wow, what an inventory. Brings back a lot of memories from my life on a Georgia farm. My favorites we had were the 4020 and 8640. 4020 is the best all around tractor of its era. Thanks for sharing. GaMike
I have really enjoyed the road trip parts-a-thon. We bought a strip till bar from Sloan’s a couple of years ago. I think we spent 4 hours looking around and 15min loading the bar. I am on the hunt for a 4840 and think I will sneak up there in December and look around again. Thanks again for the series.
One of Sloan's tractor collections is in the next town over, Elberta, AL. A landlord's son works for them full time doing restorations. One of the Sloan brothers has a beach house down here and was a landlord of ours. They've got a good little deal bringing northern combines into my area... Enjoying your videos, keep it up!
I was raised on a cash crop farm by Bad Axe Michigan. In the spring of 1972 my father bought a brand new1972 4020 from Gettel Equipment in Bad Axe. In 1973 crop prices were good so in December dad decided to buy another new tractor. By then new tractors were hard to find. Dad found a demod 4230 at Sloan Implement in Assumtion Illinois. Sloan's shipped it 600 miles to are farm for the whooping amount of $150 dollars.
I actually work for Sloans. And in Shelbyville, IL he has all his collections there at our shop. And he actually has a 8020 cabless that run and drives. A WA17. A few 8850s with original V8s in them. Lots of cool stuff. Maybe come out and visit.
South Saskatchewan Farmer has a 5020 they have taken the cab off of with a refreshed motor for heavy work that they used to use an articulated Canadian tractor for but still have two of.
absolutely love your videos Much different than farming here in NE Iowa. However we do have a few rather large dairys in the area. No robots that I am aware of.
A lot of equipment in the corn belt. Andy Hourigan went over scrapper special in one of his videos its got something to do with heavier center pin. Just think guys back when 8020 came out were just like you are over r series.
I saw your trailer and truck when I stopped in for some parts! Should have stopped by one of the FS plants here in Christian County and we could have gave you a good tour of ammonia!
Glad you made it safe & sound. The curve of your camera lense made that trailer appear to be sagging a bit. Agriculture gets a break for good reason, sometimes...
I seen you later in your video you passed the AHW dealer in Ashmore IL, that was originally built by Bill Coffey, that was a awesome dealer back in the day also. IF you needed a part they had it. IF you went into their shop you could eat off the floor. A model dealer for DEERE for many years.
If you haven't already, you've got to check out Tom Renner. He owns Shiloh Valley Equipment Shiloh,Illinois. They farm quite a bit as well but Machinery Pete has an awesome video of his mind boggling collection. A few very nice WA tractors. His grandson has a RUclips channel Renner-Stock Farms.
The 8020 would be the perfect addition to the Chris stable. Would probably need the engine and drive train refreshed. Which would have made it really a good buy from the farmer who'd sold it to these people because with an aircon heater cab with a refreshed dash and cab kit to make it like a new tractor would cost as much as one of those R's. But it would pull like a banshee sucking fuel at a rate that would be shocking compared to a 7520 owner.
Damn Duffy, if you had about 30 more feet of trailer you could have brought that 8020 home. Of course that screaming Detroit could be heard three counties over. Nice video man.
As I am watching from my apartment in China I realize you are rolling through my home town (Auburn, IL) and I recognize everything. It gave my goosebumps. I have not been able to make it back to the farm since Harvest 19 due to COVID restrictions. We are so used to having Sloans in our backyard that this just seems normal to us... How far did you travel to get there???
I enjoyed stopping in there. Trip was 3300 miles all said and done. Probably 1400 miles to get from auburn home. Stay safe and hope you make it home soon
Just saw ur channel. What kind of camera equipment are you using. Everything looks different from other channels It looks great!!! So real like I can reach in and touch it. Keep up the great work!!!.
I just looked you up. I am just north of Mohegan Sun Casino In Connecticut. I crop farm and run a feed mill here. Did not know there was room for a dairy in your area on the outskirts of Boston. That must have been on hell of a trip you took. Sloans toy department would fit in Padulas building it self I think. I ask my Deere dealer in CT for a 9R demo and he said it would take a few minutes to get it out of the box.
Did they get the 8020 fairly recently? A machinery Pete video is in my suggested videos now and it's of the auction that this 8020 sold at, I think. Good video, I bet Yenko was happy to get home and stretch his legs after all the sight seeing
Not a big deere fan but those 20 series tractors and that dealership in general is amazing. Btw herd you say about a fendt i work at mmweaver. I know your not too terrible close to pa but consider us if you ever do go to look at a fendt
I buy all my Claas parts from MM weavers, really enjoy the parts department and the support so If its a Fendt it will be from yall. Thanks for watching
Some people go to see the buildings in the big cities, some people visit the tropics, Duffy AG visits one of the biggest, if not the biggest tractor dealership on the face of the earth. #Jealous. Oh I didn't know they made a 7520 toy. Now I have something for my wife to get me for Christmas.
I know the 4640 came with factory front wheel assist (hydraulic like that 4630), not sure if they started offering factory FWA with the few years of 4630 or not. 50 series began the mechanical FWA.
slaons farm some up there but his cousin farms a lot for him in other places/ he has a musem in louisana for old tractors and combine his personal collection he keeps over a million dollars worth of used equimpent on hand hard telling how much new equimpent value he has in assumption/sloans is the worldest biggest john deere dealer
Sloan is not loved in SW WI. They came in pry 15 years ago and bought out 5 stores. They brought their Illinois attitude with em. Lots of guys around here cross the river and buy from a big dealer in Iowa.
They weren't bad in the wind. I do know that trick tho we use it on straps for the barn curtains. The rubbing was from load shifting alittle as we drove thru some of the bumper roads I've ever been on
4wd i believe would be referred to a axle that is run off a drive shaft. Being as these are hydraulically driven is why they said front wheel assist. I will ask around to verify that

I’m like you when it comes to tractors and equipment I use to bug my daddy to stop and look. So many great memories
Great video! That dealer is pretty crazy. Very cool to see that much equipment all in one place.
Great to see how much you enjoyed your trip ,drive safe
That was an awesome dealership, thanks for the tour 👍🏻
You drove through my hometown in Taylorville Illinois when you went to Assumption love seeing your videos keep up the good work man
You guys run an awesome video.love the old 8020 my dad at one time had a John Deere dealership in over his lifetime he has 1120 and 1830 many 420s for 420 crawler and an 830 diesel so I understand your passion for antiques.
That was amazing!
Thank you for sharing
Thankyou for taking us along to heaven with you! So cool!!
Awesome! We bought and traded a couple tractors with Sloan over the years!
Great field trip to Sloan! You gotta love the new stuff but give me the old 10, 20, and 30 series those are a tractor. Farmer Ken in California never stop farming !
Thats for sure nothing beats the old iron. Thanks for watching hope all is well and keep on farming is the only way
Wow, what an inventory. Brings back a lot of memories from my life on a Georgia farm. My favorites we had were the 4020 and 8640. 4020 is the best all around tractor of its era. Thanks for sharing. GaMike
4020 has to be one of thr most iconic tractors
That's is a great looking dealership, puts my dealer to shame. Would love a shop tour on the next dealer visit.
Sloan's collection is really nice, i look at it everytime im there
Sloan is a huge outfit!
I deal with the store in Atwood IL and the are great people and have great service.
Just imagine the way the man felt when he would go out on that 8020, he most likely felt it was the best
I have really enjoyed the road trip parts-a-thon. We bought a strip till bar from Sloan’s a couple of years ago. I think we spent 4 hours looking around and 15min loading the bar. I am on the hunt for a 4840 and think I will sneak up there in December and look around again. Thanks again for the series.
I would be the same way. 4840 are good tractors best of luck finding one
can't wait to see what you do with the stuff you got.
Welcome to Assumption!! I work at GSI so you were in my neck of the woods.
Was a great time
One of Sloan's tractor collections is in the next town over, Elberta, AL. A landlord's son works for them full time doing restorations. One of the Sloan brothers has a beach house down here and was a landlord of ours. They've got a good little deal bringing northern combines into my area... Enjoying your videos, keep it up!
I can only imagine how awesome the collection is. Thanks for watching along
That is a nice double hopper! More than enough room to chop off the fenders and stick on some floats!
This is where I grew up. Grandpa bought all of his equipment from there.
Beautiful looking 140
i love watching your videos man
Thanks for watching i appreciate it
Sloan Equipment= Heaven on Earth!
Oh the Red hood 140 👌
My uncle has a blue hood 110
My grandfather started the Jd business back in 69
Yep I work there, I thought I recognize you guys, I was out in the parking lot pulling that engine out of a combine
Dang small world. I forget the name of the guy I talked to. Sweet place keep up the good work
That’s awesome. I think that one 9r you stood by is our new one that is showing up this weekend.
Congrats on the new tractor
You are the man!!!
Thanks

Ahhhh! I love the ole 8020!
Awesome video

Thats awesome id love to see more of his collecting. Sometime I hope to be back out that way
@@DuffyAg definitely. I have a snap chat video of his collection that I made. And quite a site to see
Just a fun fact the lot as you were currently on it is actually empty lol. Should be starting to fill up in the next two weeks or so.
Love the video wow👏👏👏👏👏😎😎😎
Lots of smokin grunt in the Moline sounds like a good one that White 225 was a good tractor in its day
The 8020 is awesome
Pretty cool!!
Love the old iron
That John Deere dealer is what I call a real "Field of Dreams!"
I have a power shift 4630 with front wheel assist. I use it a lot!
My dad works at Sloans in Assumption and I went with him one day and saw the 8020
Must be such a cool place to work at
Fendt makes a terrific tractor. Went to the factory in Germany... really impressive.
That’s all you see in Europe
Excellent video 👍👍👍👍
Thank you 👍
@@DuffyAg your welcome keep up the great videos
That tractor had what you call a Yenko seat in it!
Very good video 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching
South Saskatchewan Farmer has a 5020 they have taken the cab off of with a refreshed motor for heavy work that they used to use an articulated Canadian tractor for but still have two of.
The Keller Collection is in my hometown, I've seen that 8010, very cool.
Someday I'd love to see the 8010
absolutely love your videos Much different than farming here in NE Iowa. However we do have a few rather large dairys in the area. No robots that I am aware of.
I used to work some outside of dubuque Iowa with some robot farms. Lot in Wisconsin tho
The shed with the combines reminded me of a star wars scene with all the fighters in a hanger on hoth or another planet lol
You’ve got the best got on RUclips.
Tie down straps, put a twist in them so they don't vibrate 👍
twist a strap in oz and $180 fine
Dude. I live less than 10 miles from you. Awesome channel.
Where you from?
A lot of equipment in the corn belt. Andy Hourigan went over scrapper special in one of his videos its got something to do with heavier center pin. Just think guys back when 8020 came out were just like you are over r series.
I saw your trailer and truck when I stopped in for some parts! Should have stopped by one of the FS plants here in Christian County and we could have gave you a good tour of ammonia!
Yes they do own farm ground but different Sloan farms it for them now.
Great video
Appreciate it
4855s are pretty nice too love em
Wow what r the odds a RUclips suggested vid and these 2 guys drove right through my hometown
Thanks for watching
Glad you made it safe & sound. The curve of your camera lense made that trailer appear to be sagging a bit. Agriculture gets a break for good reason, sometimes...
im not a big JD man myself but those old school Deere's sure looks mean! love the old style hoods.
I seen you later in your video you passed the AHW dealer in Ashmore IL, that was originally built by Bill Coffey, that was a awesome dealer back in the day also. IF you needed a part they had it. IF you went into their shop you could eat off the floor. A model dealer for DEERE for many years.
I buy alot of parts from greenpartsstore.com which is AHW much cheaper then my local parts. Seems like a top notch place
My dad had an 8020 with a cab on the farm growing up. I put hundreds of hrs on it. Interesting fact; they have air brakes.
That's a lot of equipment
beautyful road
If you haven't already, you've got to check out Tom Renner. He owns Shiloh Valley Equipment Shiloh,Illinois. They farm quite a bit as well but Machinery Pete has an awesome video of his mind boggling collection. A few very nice WA tractors. His grandson has a RUclips channel Renner-Stock Farms.
I work for sloan implement there in assumption. What you seen for combines is just a drop in the bucket. A lot of them are out for rental use.
Must be a cool place to work for
nice.... hello from spain
I’d like to think that dealership your at is what heaven looks like lol
I sure hope that's what heaven looks like
You were up in my hometown
what a video nothing in scotland like that dealers yard
Bonne vidéo.
The 8020 would be the perfect addition to the Chris stable. Would probably need the engine and drive train refreshed.

Damn Duffy, if you had about 30 more feet of trailer you could have brought that 8020 home. Of course that screaming Detroit could be heard three counties over. Nice video man.
Right could of fit some more stuff one. Wallet wouldn't have liked that tho
And another 24 hours till fill up.

@@DuffyAg Wow! That is a long trip. Glad you got to see where I farm...
I would guess it's the 7th
That store was huge
You gotta have a LOT of land in a field to make Anhydrous worthwhile. We're talking square mile fields near flat.
That makes alot of sense why we dont see more of it in the northeast
Just saw ur channel. What kind of camera equipment are you using. Everything looks different from other channels
It looks great!!! So real like I can reach in and touch it.
Keep up the great work!!!.
Thanks for watching. Use a GoPro 8 for filming
I just looked you up. I am just north of Mohegan Sun Casino In Connecticut. I crop farm and run a feed mill here. Did not know there was room for a dairy in your area on the outskirts of Boston. That must have been on hell of a trip you took. Sloans toy department would fit in Padulas building it self I think. I ask my Deere dealer in CT for a 9R demo and he said it would take a few minutes to get it out of the box.
There's a few of us left up here but dairy sure has disappeared compared to 20 years ago
In 2009 when the home building industry collapsed in Las Vegas, there were huge auction lots crammed full of equipment. Terribly sad.
Did they get the 8020 fairly recently? A machinery Pete video is in my suggested videos now and it's of the auction that this 8020 sold at, I think. Good video, I bet Yenko was happy to get home and stretch his legs after all the sight seeing
Yes it sold over the summer that machinery pete video is the sale video
my great uncle was the person who had that sale on june 9th - the 12th
Thats absolutely wild, I wish I had made it there
Not a big deere fan but those 20 series tractors and that dealership in general is amazing. Btw herd you say about a fendt i work at mmweaver. I know your not too terrible close to pa but consider us if you ever do go to look at a fendt

Some people go to see the buildings in the big cities, some people visit the tropics, Duffy AG visits one of the biggest, if not the biggest tractor dealership on the face of the earth. #Jealous.
Oh I didn't know they made a 7520 toy. Now I have something for my wife to get me for Christmas.
Farms vacations always seem to be other farms and that makes it the best for sure
I see you were at the Auburn Brandts location. That’s about 25 miles north of farms location.
I think the WA-17 and 8020 auction sales are on Machinery Pete's RUclips channel.
Yes cool video i remember watching it when it came out. Watched the auction online too
My friends Bill and Barb Donner have a fully restored 8020 in michigan
I know the 4640 came with factory front wheel assist (hydraulic like that 4630), not sure if they started offering factory FWA with the few years of 4630 or not. 50 series began the mechanical FWA.
You could buy a 4020 4320 4620 with HFWA
slaons farm some up there but his cousin farms a lot for him in other places/ he has a musem in louisana for old tractors and combine his personal collection he keeps over a million dollars worth of used equimpent on hand hard telling how much new equimpent value he has in assumption/sloans is the worldest biggest john deere dealer
Such a sweet dealership for sure
They are the biggest dealer in Illinois
I live 20 minutes from that store. Do all my business with them. I believe they are the biggest JD dealer in the U.S. 22 stores in the Midwest.
Sure seems like a awesome dealership, nothing like we have out east
Me and my grandpa have been scraping for years using an 8430 and an 8520 john deere tractors
Good old work horses. Where you located
In Turlock California
We use anhydrous in NY a lot of farmers do here
Western NY i take it? I've seen some in Wyoming County never any where east
@@DuffyAg central NY Cayuga County a lot used here
We don't have a dealer like that, all I can do getting yellow Deere parts from Schmidt
Thats for sure
@@DuffyAg I don't work on AG stuff, who us the green dealer here
Multi sight dealer located in small town IL area.
That’s a good sounding Duramax. Has it been deleted?
Yes its deletes. Up pipes down pipe full exhaust. Big turbo more fuel
Wait wait wait... I knew the transmission went out on your 7520. What's the cab section for?
It was a package deal and the price was right so I got alot of spare parts
@@DuffyAg Can't go wrong with that!
Sloan is not loved in SW WI. They came in pry 15 years ago and bought out 5 stores. They brought their Illinois attitude with em. Lots of guys around here cross the river and buy from a big dealer in Iowa.
put a flip in the straps, then they don't whip in the wind and they take a lot longer to cut themselves through
They weren't bad in the wind. I do know that trick tho we use it on straps for the barn curtains. The rubbing was from load shifting alittle as we drove thru some of the bumper roads I've ever been on
I'm been bidding for years on auction time.... Everything is going for way more than they are worth. I stopped even looking on the site
I find some deals but it is crazy the prices now
@Monk Farmer yeah
Why do you call it front wheel assist? Here in the UK we call it 4 wheel drive.
4wd i believe would be referred to a axle that is run off a drive shaft. Being as these are hydraulically driven is why they said front wheel assist. I will ask around to verify that
