In the late 70's i ran a 1965 4020 with the Power Shift and drug a 5-16 J D 135 Semi mount plow with a gauge wheel, weed whips and trash boards on the plow. Great tool and one stout 4020.

Very relaxing.... So cool you and your dad work together ❤️

From shes 12 to 17 I worked on my uncle's farms .He would pick me up at3:45 after I got off bus n changed my clothes take me ti the field . I would jump up on the 4020 power shift with the 5 x16 hydraulic reset plow n would get off that tractor at 12 at night . We had 2 4020 s one standard shift one power shift n 2 5 x16 moldboard plows n we would 400 to 500 acted in Pennsylvania ground every year . The standard shift tractor would plow in 4 gear alot of the time while other 4020 barely could pull in 3 gear .Round we would go n the standard dhuft tractor would catch up to me in 5 . Great memories as a young man growing up on the farms .rounds

Back in the mid 70’s I did a lot of plowing with a 4020 power shift with a Deere 4-18 bottom plow. Great memories!

Beautiful black dirt matching great with J-D green 👍

A great bit of no messing plowing .This man can plough a nice straight furrow

We had a 4020 power shift, loved that tractor

In my opinion, the 4020 was one of the best tractors ever built, especially with the power shift. I'm not surprised yours is still running after maybe 50 years. The electrical system wasn't very good though, I didn't like the generator with 2 outputs and the idea of the left side - right side systems. I was pretty young back then but we got rid of one of the batteries, got a 12 volt starter and a 12 volt alternator and used the now empty battery box for tools.

Just imagine trading in your 2 cylinder Deere for a new gen 3010 or 4010 and plowing like this, what a dream.

That is some of the prettiest soil I've ever seen. Look at how dark it is. I'm used to stuff so red you'd think you'd nicked an artery. Good job son.

THIS TRACKER RUNS GREAT..ALOT OF POWER..THE 4020 IS A GAME CHANGER..RETIRED LARRY IN INDIANAPOLIS..

That’s music to my ears!!

Hey thanks for sharing these videos, I really enjoy watching them! Good memories

Wonderful, thanks for taking care of them. I love the 4020. Looks right, timeless. Maybe one day you would do a walk around, showing what does what. Thank you.

4020's in my neighborhood (SE Minnesota) pulled 5-16's. Everybody loved 'em.

My Grandfather has a 1966 JD 4020 Diesel with the Syncro Range transmission. The tractor has 13000 hours on it and still runs like a top!

I had a 1972 4020 and a 530 JD hay roller when they first came out it , I did custom rolling , some of the best money I made farming. Not many people had a roller back then so I stayed busy.

I had a late model 4020 Diesel with the side console. It was the best tractor John Deere ever made. It was simple by todays standards, but, it was all steel and, easy to fix if you needed to. Someone should build one just like it today, you would sell thousands of them. but, it seems like the trend is to tractors that drive themselves, too bad. I grew up with two-cylinder John Deere, and, the last one i had was a really nice 530, another great tractor.

Don't have a 4020, but I have a 2510 gasser. Love that thing!

I ran a 3020 power shift with a 3 bottom fully mounted when I was about 9.

My favorite tractor of all time.

I miss those days.

Best tractor JD ever built...........

Actually miss moldboard plowing, it took a while but it was so satisfying!! Awesome 4020 right there👍!!

Good Times!!

ok...I've got dirt envy

Awesome video, rarely see old iron actually working. Now days they are only used to power augers and maybe a rotary mower..

Gorgeous tracker❤. It's my husband favorite tracker. My favorite is John a & b.

jd 4020 are my fav tractor of all time

Tach isn't working. That's one way to keep the hours down. 🤠

In 1975 I was driving a 4020 driven on natural gas. That was in Canada.

Noticed they stay far away from tree roots. Had some experience with those when I was a teenager. The one I remember most was hitting a rock the size of a chevy and being jerked out of the seat when everything came to a sudden stop.

Good looking tractors.

Absolutely beautiful love it own a couple of them and still adore it

Is one of the best tractors that was ever made so universal John Deere is the best

I have owned my 4020 power shift for 40 years. I pull a IH 720 4 bottom with auto-reset. You don't have any rocks. I live in upstate NY. We have rocks. My 4020 is a '64.

Old school 🤜🤛👍💪

Good looking tractor sir, and nice job plowing.

Put in a few thousand hours on 2 of these. Great tractors

GOAT!!!

We just bought a 70s 3020 powershift with a 48 loader I love the tracter already

Thats some black dirt!

My first 4020 I pulled a 5 bottom fully mounted plow and it was a narrow front

Amen brother!

Thanks for the video 📹

Very Nice

Nice

Nice 👍🏻

It’s nice to see people plow without trying to do it in road gear.

vas en tercera y a 1900 vueltas y con 4 rejas un maravilla EL 4020, . el tractor siempre estuve en duda son de 90 o 100 HP

Cool video

What about the John deer 3020.?we had some on the farm.

I'd love to get a '72 4020, would look good next to my '73 165

Muy bonito 4020

that 4020 is sweet;;;;sure need that tach fixed ;;it will pull a 5 bottom plow too

How do you get such beautiful black dirt like that? Also it's nice watching my 4020 working

Nice tractor doing a fine job. what size tires are you running on the front? thanks

Over ride the stop!

I miss my 4320 so very much.

it is so good

2 more bottoms will work just fine.

What tree is planted in the middle of the field? Is the soil naturally dark like this or it was improved to be like this?

❤️

What year is the 4020? 64 65?

That was awesome! Thanks for sharing. I was always told that with the power shift, you could figure on dropping one bottom from what the synchro-range would pull. Is that true?

Back when John Deere made tractors. Now they make junk.

What size are your front tires on this 4020 I'm looking to replace the front tires on my 4020 and I want the 4 rib tires like on yours. Your plow job looks really nice by the way.

Had one that ya had to slam from 7 to 8 if ya did it easy it would go to 2 for some unknown reason best hang on to the wheel or end up on the hood.

tack cable on 4020 must be broke. i think deere dealer has them in stock.

Loved watching but you can drag a chicken backwards and plow deeper.

What is the processing depth?

I’d like to pull a chisel plow with a 4020….how many shanks do you think would be a good match?

What year is your 4020?

And here doing it at 0 rpm on the tach?! No emission. Suck it Tesla!

A 4020 could pull a 5-12 in heavy North Dakota soil in 4th gear handily.

the tractor

I farm with a Jhn Deere 4000

Wish I could plow that straight !

Las agen días no a Bra otro tragtor como el cuarenta beinte lo maneje más de diez años uno Ai otro igual ael fue i sigue siendo el caballito de el ombre lo recomiendo sien por siento como ese nomás el b cuatro siento con cuenta son únicos grasias por subir lomejir en el llondir el collote de Teran i sus agri cul tores del norte

They don't make them like that anymore. I have road one a Many of Miles

CAnt believe your only pulling a 4 bottom. Most every body when they plowed around here pulled 5.

Why 4 bottom? They pulled 5 quite easily???

❗🦬✅🟩🇺🇲 zöld Bivaly ❗🤩

You sure made a mess with your head land

Mein Gott noch mal! Wieso zeigst Du nicht einmal, wie das Powershift - Getriebe schaltet, oder wie der Richtungswechsel damit funktioniert !!

Mighty shallow "plowing".

👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

Turn that dirt over

Dash lights are out tack don't work know for throttle missing wow needs attention
