I would also.

We own a 1959 630 narrow front

I absolutely LOVE this 4020. It was pure joy for me to operate this beauty. I hope to see it this year when we plow.

The 830 was the big daddy at 83hp.

Thanks, Hell Boy!

I too spent a lot of hours on a 620. The farmer I worked for had 4 mounted plows. pulled the front up alot.

Great hearing those twin cylinders. I put many, many hours on a JD 620 pulling 3-14's in the 60's.

I noted this also. Soil looks rich.

The electrical system (24-volt starting and part 12-volt negative ground and other part 12-volt positive ground was a nightmare for many owners.

@@safetywitness1899 we converted ours over to normal 12v systems ages ago. We have a 4010 and 2 4020s, all diesel. One of our 4020s has over 27,000 hours and has never had anything but new clutches, alternators, starters, and maybe a hydraulic pump or two. It's been turned up to 160hp since day one too. The other two are not turbocharged and have at least 15,000 hours and no major work either. Our 4630 has been dead reliable too- 14,000 hrs turned up to 240hp. But my 59 530 is still my favorite tractor :)

No doubt it has been one of the best ever but I cannot understand why thy used that strange electrical system. In theory it works but most people have enough trouble dealing with standard 12-volt setups. Too many owners just don't understand that it was 24-volt ungrounded starting and then then half the 12-volt was negative ground and the other was 12-volt positive ground. That did create its fair share of problems. Apparently, many of them were converted to 12- volt. My 2002Ford Excursion has a two battery 12-volt setup and it has been the greatest. I'm stilly using one of the original batteries and it is only 18years old.

@@safetywitness1899 yeah, ours still have twin batteries but they are setup just like your 7.3. Converting them over was easy enough. They only have a few wires on them. Dad did the 4020s ages ago, I did the 4010 when we inherited it from my mom's father. The kits come with everything you need, it took an afternoon. As to why they did it that way originally, I don't know. Maybe batteries weren't so hot back then? Most cars had standardized by then so who knows.

@@safetywitness1899 Don't know what you mean by "24-volt ungrounded starting"? How can you have a completed circuit if there is no ground? It either has to have positive ground or negative ground otherwise you have no completed circuit. If you are feeding 24 volts to the starter it has to ground through the starter or somewhere. Any schematics on line for this setup? I'm curious now!

More clay in northern Indiana.

Think its just you. its 2020 and the rest of the world is onto tesla tractors you boomer. quite being a bungaloo

Very very few stones. My cousin who farms this land does a nice job of keeping his fields clear of rocks.

In general, the more sandier the ground the more rocks you have in Northwest Ohio. Where the last glacier left its till, you’ll turn up more rocks. Where the water melt lates before it drained you don’t turn up any rocks.

That's exactly correct, Marchindy, on my you saw that in the video! Good eyes.

Didn't like seeing that either. Didn't look like there were any rocks there but if that plow hit one hard you know what happens when that hitch lets go! That girl would go flying.

Mike, My Great Grandfather was Adolph Beske. Adolph's older brother, Albert, had a son named Willard Albert John Beske who was born in 1914, died in 1976. Their Father, Karl (Carl Beske), was born on April 14, 1851, in Germany. Carl was one of the individuals who helped start the German Lutheran Church in Elizabeth. I believe he is buried there, too. Willard and my Grand Father, Rolland, would have been Cousins. Willard's daughter, Karin Ann, married Eugene Zahnow. I think they are your parents? I see they had 3 kids, Michael, Lore, and Rebecca. Is that you? I bet it is. If so, then we are certainly related. My Dad has a book called Our Beske Family Heritage 1884-1987 where I found this information, with the help of my Dad's guidance. You and my Dad are probably some level of Cousins as both your Grand Fathers were 1st cousins. I'll have to ask my Dad who put this book together and where he got it. Have you ever seen it?

@@danbeske8593 thanks for taking the time to look into this that is very interesting. I certainly appreciate.

My Cousin runs the field cultivator over this ground shortly after it is plowed. Plus, the 'mess' helps keep soil erosion down if the winds are present until he can get it cultivated.

@@danbeske8593put it whatever way you want. "the mess" is caused by bad PLOUGHING also known as lightning strike. It does not help soil erosion in the slightest to have stubble landing on top (where it was) when it should be buried. But as they say there's always an excuse.

That field was wheat. Beautiful ground for sure. My Cousin also grows corn and soy beans. Sugar beets and sunflower is also grown in that area which is the north eastern part of Minnesota near Fargo/Moorhead.

@@danbeske8593 Believe that would be northwestern part of Minnesota.

USA in the state of Minnesota.

Which country... the ‘land of the free and home of the brave’ and in the fine state of Minnesota.

Just an observer nice bro

It can be an objective, Donald. In our case, the plows normally don't have all the coulters which flips and buries the stubble. Stubble that shows helps reduce soil erosion in windy conditions, so that is a good thing. After we plow the field, my cousin will take his modern farm equipment and field cultivate the field to further till and mix in the stubble. Hope this explanation makes sense.
