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.

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.

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.

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.
