I have driven more 4020's in my life than any other tractor. My favourite memory was when i was in tenth grade a farmer needed a driver to run one of his two 4020's for field work. I was in heaven. One tractor pulled 5-16 and the other a 6-16 plow. From sun up to sun down. Great memories from a great tractor.

Oh my. This really takes me back. I’ve put in many hours on a rig just like this one.

The 4020 was always one of my favorite deere tractors

Just discovered this video and WOW, does it bring back wonderful memories from childhood. My dad had a 4010 and and a 4020 and both were hardworking tractors. Yours looks like it just drove off the showroom floor and only someone who grew up with JD's could truly appreciate how beautiful it truly is.

My very first tractor was a 71 model 4020 that I bought in September of 1977. I was 17 years old and started with 100 acres. 50 in corn and 50 in double cropped wheat and soybeans. That thing would pull 4 18 inch bottoms in 5th gear and never break a sweat.

I never realized that how old my dad's tractor was. When we moved to a new farm it was already there, not new. 20 years later he was still driving it every day at work. He changed the oil 3 times more than needed to be changed....at the weekends, on his own time. He wouldn't let it sit overnight, dirty.

Man that old 404 engine sounds sweet!

And that is how it was done (although I thought he was in 4th) and the video was also excellent, NO stupid music to cover up the sound of the tractor, NO stupid commentary, NO clouds of black smoke, NOTHING but the tractor and plow doing as they were made to do.

Great job of plowing, your plow is set perfectly . Colters set perfectly, furrow edges are square and crisp, no dirt on spilling from the bottoms to the top of the ground. Just a pleasure to see the job done properly. You are plowing at the perfect depth, all around a super job!

I have put a lot of hours on 4020’s . Still do and love every minute of it!!! Awesome tractors!!!!

My most favorite tractor, I think one of the most universal tractors ever built. Back in the day when we farmed I loved plowing with a 4020

Precious memories. I'm 38 now but rode many many rounds as a child in the soybean fields with my pawpaw on the 4020 as my daddy manned the 3020.

That’s the correct way to open a field, bye throwing the furrow into the field. Made that 4020 grunt a little. Great video, I miss those day’s 👍

Covered a lot of ground with the same set up - we had duals on out of furrow side. Great video - lots of memories from making that dirt fly. There is nothing quiet like that smell of freshly plowed ground mixing with diesel exhaust. Thank You!

That is one nice bit of mold boarding 1350 1450s are very good plows we have 4 6-16 and 4 5-16

Been there, done that and wish I was doing it again.

I was 12 when a 4020 like this one with that plow pulled onto our farm, What a machine that thing was. I never drove it until 2 years later and I was in heaven!

Nice outfit. We had an 806 Farmall that was a little stronger l think the torque ampfiler gave the 806 some advantage. Thanks for sharing.

I’m jealous!! Takes me back. Loved plowing with our 4020. Equipped with m&ws and big turbo and straight pipe. Only downfall was a hiniker cab and after a day you heard it all night!

Back in the good old days!

Nice video!

Makes me miss running the older smaller equipment. Especially and open station tractor. Our farm still has a 4020 diesel and a 3010 gas we will use on a rare occasion. Awesome video !

That's a nice tractor

Love that power shift

Fine job and nice toys. Our neighbor pulled 4 bottoms with his 4020. You can go a little deeper and a little more speed will help roll the sod better and help you through wet spots. We had a cheap 1130 Massey Ferguson because we couldn't afford John Deere. It did have power. It pulled 5/16's too easy. It must have been turned up pretty good as it could pull in hi 1st and throw the sod too far if you let it. Good times.

My dream tractor

That’s a stock (naturally aspirated) 4020, to! 👍 Nice, level job of matching dirt!

Plowed thousands of acres with a 4020 and a 145 plow. Those coulters were the best ever.

I have the same one it was the first tractor I drove on my own on the farm

Good looking tractor, pulls that 5 bottom well, ground looks pretty compacted ..

Now there is some hard Plowing, but then again sod is always hard Plowing

Very nice tractor

Such a satisfying video to watch, but holy cow you had me cringing when you were close to the plow. LOL Be safe out there!

The soil must be a bit lighter in my area. When new, most farmers around here pulled 6x16's with the 4020's.

This might be the first plowing video I have seen with the plow actually adjusted level. They ususally have the front deep so it looks impressive and tail is way up.

We had a 1960 3010 diesel that pulled 4 16s. My dad sold that tractor in 1980 for 5k. Had the original clutch. Don't remember how many hours.

I farmed with 3 different 4020 tractors and they outlasted everything else

Back when you could fix things.

Clearly a farmer who knows how to set up his mold board correctly. Correct depth!

Serviço muito bem feito lindo lindo parabéns Santo André SP BRASIL

I pull 5 bottom 151 Ford plows with my 4020. All I’ve plowed with on that tractor.

I agree Mathew I drove s 4020 discing and chisel plowing

I am impressed. 4020 pulling 5 bottoms. I have always thought of 4020 as a 4 bottom tractor. 👍 - Doug in Iowa

That's fun to watch l don't care who you are. Thanks

Does your property produce corn, is the soil being plowed sandy or clayey, does it have good fertility or does it require a large amount of fertilizer per hectare?

Might please you to know KZfaq is still pushing your video that's how I ended up seeing it. 👍

We pulled 6 bottom 16" all the time with our 4020

Amen!

Good morning, how is the weather in your city today, has it been raining and is it very cold?

Wow, that thing sounds great. Do you have it turned up or bored out, or is that pretty much stock?

long live the 4020! i own 2

My Farmall B does the same in 3rd.gear on a lot less fuel.

I pulled 5 16 with my 4020

Que hermoso tractor 40 20 John deere para los campo de santiago del Estero monte quemado el Palmar si Dios quiere Chamigo te saludo de Garin Escobar buenos Aires te felisito por tu tractor

Going to blow it up

Are the discs on the plow cutting the soil to make it easier for the blades to turn the soil over?

Looks like 4th gear to me.

After me shall come a farmer, tell I too have known.

Just because it can, doesn’t mean you should

I drove my share of them the only thing that I didn't like was the heat an the cold

That 4020 will pull a 6 bottom with no problem, unless there's something serious wrong with it.
