- Super Rare John Deere 8970 1 of 2 that was built by Kinze with a Cummins K-19 with 600HP and a custom built hood that is fully power opening. This is one Beautiful tractor and had been kept in great shape. We are very lucky to have found it and been able to get some video footage of it pulling this Krause Dominator.

If only Deere would've had the engineer that Kinze had for this repower, they would've had a lot nicer-looking 60 & 70 series. To me, those series never fit in the JD line-up in that era, but this one DOES. Excellent job Kinze...the hood, grill and front light bezel looks like it's supposed to for that era of Deere.
I would agree with you on that!
The guy that built these for Jon was my dad he had the reporter shop and he didn’t go to high school much less being an engineer
@@stanspaid632unreal! your father sounds like an amazing guy. Remarkable.
That tractor ROCKS!! Its awesome you got to film it.
I agree I was very fortunate to be able to film this tractor. It is a beast for sure one of my favorite tractors I've filmed!
@@MichiganFarmPhotos fantastic drone footage and no annoying music, just the engine itself, which is what we all want to hear anyway ! What engine does it use - a Cummins by any chance ?
Thank you, Yes this tractor has a Cummins KTA-1150 in it!
@@MichiganFarmPhotos Hi and thank you for your reply. Had a feeling it might be a Cummins rather than a Deere engine - it runs without issues, lol ! Bigger capacity engine than I had considered, but a very popular unit, used in several other makes too, the Steiger Series III Tiger 470, for one and I think Versatile used it in one of their former high end models, before getting bought out by Ford in the mid to late 80s - '86 or '87 - can't remember exactly.
You would be correct the Versatile 1150 and Ford 1156 used the KTA-1150 as well!
Beaitiful Tractor and great filming👍
Thank you
When upping the power,, its wise to increase speed with similar load so that the torque load isn't that much higher. RPM is easier on drive train than lb. ft. of torque.
Cool video!!
Thank you! It's easy when you're filming such a unique piece of equipment! Very impressive machine all around.
Amazing machine! Great video👍🏻
Agreed!!! It's one of my favorite machines I've filmed!
Awesome find!!
Great video! Man that tractor is very intimidating! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching and commenting! It is one heck of a tractor!
What a Giant! 😳🤯😍👏👍
Nice pict n video... 👍
Thank you
Has the drive train also been adapted to the higher demands? The triples look very good.
The Low Sidewall (LSW) 1400/30R46 tires could also be an alternative to protect the ground. Thanks for sharing.
Stock drive train, the owner knows those tractors very well and doesn't abuse it and it has held together very well so far. LSW's are cool and great for compaction but triples just look so mean!
That hood!!
Full power lift to its sweet!
I want to upload a part of this to my channel... credit you of course and push your channel also...
If you credit us and tag us, then yes you may use some footage.
@@MichiganFarmPhotos of course i will....
@MonsterTracksStudios Thank you
Anybody going to talk power and weight of this tractor?
I'm not sure about the weight, but it is 600hp with a Cummins K-19 and puts that power to the ground nicely!
I wonder what this sucker weighs as it is here
I never asked that question
