The 4020 Diesel has a six-cylinder engine tested at 84 drawbar and 91 PTO horsepower. The 4020 is significant for its great popularity; over 184,000 units were built. It was the most popular tractor of its time.

The Mann’s are some stand up guys. Really helped you get started. Can’t go wrong with the old 4020, affordable, big enough for most tasks, reliable as a hammer, plus the utility of the loader. That was a smart choice. Best of luck on your first growing season!!

Love the fact that you’re farming with old school equipment!! The hydraulic cylinder on the disc is on backwards. The moving arm (Ram) should be attached to the axle and the base of the cylinder (that hoses are attached to) should be connected to the frame. You can swap the hoses around on the cylinder to make it work. Then the hose shouldn’t be too short.

nothing beats, friendly, helpful, caring, selfless, giving neighbors that will do anything to help fellow farmers that are new and help them get started, this goes for anything really. I have noticed the americans and canadians have a real strong bond with fellow farmers and stay united as one and band together to help out when needed!

Hey Spencer, just stumbled onto your channel! Great to see young folks starting out on a farm. I've got a daughter and son-in-law that live up in Charles City and have always admired the Iowa farm land. Hope it goes well! Looking forward to more videos along the way.😊

Those 4020s sound great with a straight pipe with the plow in the ground

Can't go wrong with a good ol 4020. Grew up on 4010/4020s 4430/4440 and some 856/1486 internationals all solid tractors that I love

Great job lots of inspiration for younger generations!!! 😊

Nice purchase. Blessings on your new farm endeavors!

Congrats on buying a farm! Good to see your dad helping out. Must have had a full recovery ❤️‍🩹 Farming is becoming a family business, good luck to you all!! 🤠

You kept your money together. Really good deal on that Tractor. So many memories thanks for the video

I absolutely love your voice over. And I love you shoutout Josie we love you. Oh Spencer how are you gonna transport your corn and beans if grant has the trucks 👀 And yes share the loan stuff I’m curious

I’m digging this channel and I just found it keep the small farming content up there are lots of younger guys like myself wanting to get into this sort of stuff and having someone to learn with on the way would be nice

This channel is awesome! Can’t wait for more videos

Nice setup. The 4020 is a great tractor

4020 has to be one of the greatest tractors ever built

Good luck, young Man! 👍🚜

I like this content it reminds me of when I used to farm with my grandpa and my great grandpa back in the late 90s early 2000s

Nice💯💪🏻 Please more

I still use my 4010 but we put the 4020 eing in about 30 years ago on my farm , all I mainly use it for cut hay and moved wagon around

8500 for a clean 4020 ( with ) a loader, and just needing basic maintenance, you got a pretty fair deal.

You might want to wear some ear muffs if you value your hearing. Nice purchase though, I bet that old girl appreciated the TLC you have given it. I hope it treats you good as well.

The beginning farmer loan process would be awesome, you hear about them but never find out how to get started or what ducks you need to have in order as well, get it done so can hopefully get started on my, we appreciate it brother, and God bless your near farmland in Jesus name

Very glad to see your enthusiasm of getting into farming, but I would be looking at purchasing something like a 4640 for your second tractor rather than a 4020. Not bashing on you at all and am happy to see the togetherness of the Mann family, but you really need to look at upsizing your horse power for future gain.

You got a good deal

Pretty hard to go wrong with a 4020,if properly maintained and operated those tractors were super tough and reliable

Nice old tractor

I would like to hear more about this beginner farmer loan.

those tractors were $6200 brand new in the 60's

I hope you go through the beginning farmer loan soon, cause that info id really appreciate knowing

4 bottom plow then disc?

👍👌❤️🇨🇦

What is the difference in the tires?

Be interested to hear about the new farmer loan process.

How many hours were on it when your purchased it?

Where you had the house burnt down, do you plan on putting your house there.

Grew up on one of these 😊 have you found 8th gear yet lol couldn't help noticing you were driving in 7th on the road

Tractors are way cooler than sports cars 😂

is it just me, but aren't you supposed to moldboard plow, or chisel plow first? Ya know break open the ground, before disc plowing?

Fed AMERICA 🇺🇸!!! 💯

Does it have a turbo ?

Them old JD disc arent the best cutting disc, more of a finish disc. You can adjust that disc angle to make it more aggressive

Sorry I asked this also in another video, but can you tell me where you got your LED light kit?

Dose your brother have videos , if so what’s the name?

The disk is not working well enough bicous you need to plow the field first.

My 1966 4020 is a piece of crap. It barely turns over with both brand new batteries and jumped with a power pack and a pickup truck. When it does start, only runs for five minutes with black smoke then dies and I can’t get it started until I recharge the batteries. I’ve replaced everything on the fuel system, injectors, pre pump, filters, fresh fuel, blew all the lines, bled the whole thing. Only thing left is the injector pump, which I don’t know how to check. And it has a hell of a knock when it runs.

Car at 8:58

can you use this tractor for planting and harvesting too? or do you have to buy another $100,000 tractor etc
