I love how the competition is right across the street!

Glad you got smoother on the video's. When you where in the cab swinging your head back and forth was dizzying.

Funny watching his video now and you guys still have the same tractors you had five years ago. But I guess it’s working!

Finally got to hear some thoughts from Travis. You guys know what your doing. All Im going to say is COOL!

About 500 hours and considered new. I have a 1955 johndeere 420u with 980 hours and is still used for small tasks everyonce in a while. was used for snow plowing up untill 2013.

The video starts at 0:00 , just helping you for later

Well this one didn't make it to the farm. About time for you guys to get another one

Please show the next test drive! Very fun to watch and Informative!

I know this is your decision to make. But if you ever see a JD4760, i would go for it. We used to have one, very good tractor even the 2wd version

The two tractors have similar hp. I would go bigger around the 300 PLUS hp. Always can use more hp for the new implements that are being made. Like the triple mowers and big square balers. And for the larger tillage and seeding equipment. Just thinking more long term.

the delay with the steering Travis mentioned is from ACS (active command steering) we had a 8285r and traded because we couldn't stand it. Just something to keep in mind

Nicely done video, but I'd say if you're spending the $ wouldn't you wanna spend the $$ on something a little bigger?.. I'm not sure and it's none of my business what your budget is for something. I just wouldn't want you guys to regret and say "shoulda got this or that."

That tractor looks nice.

Use only Case IH equipment when farming lol ! We use Case IH I'm just messing with ya that was a nice look front wheel assist tractor ! I will say I like the S series Combine that JD makes and they came out with the new 9620 quad which case makes a fantastic 620 quad I say as long as it gets the job done when working ground in the spring for planting or using then in the fall the color don't matter keep up the great job guys ! Here in central Indiana we haven't planted 1 been or 1 kernel of popcorn yet

Not sure if it's already been mentioned but the smaller steering wheel is active command steering. When the tractor is off the steering wheel is free to turn since it is not connected to a hydraulic valve.

That is a sweet tractor. For $200k , it needs to be.

Ryan, nice video. I really wish you guys would do a video for anyone thinking about getting into farming. Topics would touch on things like how farming has changed (seems like u need 1000+ acres to make any sort of real money these days), buying equipment and what to look for on used items, an overview of what the year encompasses (primary/secondary tillage to planting to fertilize to harvest and everything in between), quick list of equipment you MUST have, etc. List goes on forever...

I am from a third world country in South America, we farm 2000+acres doble crop, 2000 acres soybeans in the sumer an 1000 acres corn in the winter and 1000 acres weaht, our biggest tractor is a 7505 brasilian made John Deere whit 140Hp. We also have a 116Hp Valtra and a 103Hp NH. It works fine for us, but a 8R JD is only a dream for me, I don't think I will ever have one!

I was watching this video again and saw the 8270r behind you and realized that we got that around the same time you were looking at getting a new tractor

Business plan to include: 1 yr., 3 yr., 5 yr. to relate to your business goals ; Grain, cattle, Check / CPA for Investment Tax Credits for machine replacement(s) ; Field efficiency layout to max planter / combine widths, reduce turns, multiple tillage tools to reduce passes; Are you still in 6, 8 or 12 row mode? Grain storage, minimize handling, road time, grain cart(s) Forward contracts (like your sense of attainable yields) and match market swings,Use drone to assist with contour layouts / photo mapping technique. Historical info forecasting avg. crop yields, seeds /acre; use as many computer assist planning tools ( U of W; U of IA, etc. Dads knowledge) available. newer planter(s) options more efficient for seed placement, spacing. Upgrade combine. Investigate use of GPS and auto steer. Multiple efficiency ticks may be small, but long term Like the 300 plus hp tractors. Your equipment dealer has plenty of options in their system, but go for system(s) that fulfill your goals, present and 3-5 years.. Return lease units are all over the internet listing. My thoughts on grain trucks, continue contract hauling, less hassle and liabilities. My comments also related to CNC wood products production to match machines to goals. Not to be completely influenced by shiny and new. I really enjoy your videos on How Farms Work and cheering you on for future success of a family farm. I am jealous of you and Travis working with your Dad as grew up on a farm, but life has its swings

We have a John Deere 6105r and it has an infinitely variable transmission and it is very easy to use and I really like it

The IVT is nice but the hydrostatic whine of it drives me nuts after a bunch of hours in it. It kinda reminds me of the gear whine in the IH '66 series tractors with a cab. Not near as loud but annoying.

We had a 8260r here over in New Zealand with IVT transmission, with active steer the same as this one you have demoed which explains the smaller steering wheel. use to use it as a stack tractor for silage and ivt had no poke at all for stacking. ILS Indepent Linkage Suspension is good but requires to be greased often if using on rough ground all the time. powershift version would be 10x better. one thing is that the ivt versions of 8r series can come in 50kph gearboxes. not sure what that equals to in mph, cheers

Could the 8235r not be up graded to the exact specs of the ogre tractor seeing as it has the same computer and engine and all and it would only be minor upgrades that wouldn't affect performance because it would pretty much be factory

So this tractor starts hard too. I just bought an 8260r last spring, and in the winter, we always need jumper cables and Ether to get it going. It is a real nice tractor, but the hard starting issue really bugs my dad. The dealer just says it's a bigger engine, so that's why it starts hard. Personally I think Deere should find a way to use the same starters that are on construction equipment. Their loaders don't have this same issue.

funny to see you at a Sloan dealership because I work right next to the original one in Illinois!!!

As long as you grease the ils regularly you won't have any problems, it really is worth it!!

When using this transmission push you throttle all the way ahead because the tractor will adjust to the right rpm itself

That tractor probably had active command steering which changes the tension of turning the wheel according to ground speed. Really nice when driving down the road

You better take her to the field too.You want something that will haul the mail in your hills if you get a bigger planter.Take the tractor home and use it in your hills.Maybe both?

whoooeee, New Tractor, nice unit!

look for a 8850 jd we pulled a 45' krause disc, 8 bottom JD plow, 7 shank subsoiler from TMI u should be able to fine one in the $25,000 range in great shape don't make our mistake find one with PTO

We had a 8260r here over in New Zealand with IVT transmission, with active steer the same as this one you have demoed which explains the smaller steering wheel. use to use it as a stack tractor for silage and ivt had no poke at all for stacking and always had to recelabrate the transmission via commard centre 3 or 4x a day. ILS Indepent Linkage Suspension is good but requires to be greased often if using on rough ground all the time. stick to powershift version would be 10x better. one thing is that the ivt versions of 8r series can come in 50kph gearboxes. not sure what that equals to in mph, cheers

Here in Canada we don see as many front and rear duels, only rear duels

Good video, thank you from France !

😂😂😂 Travis gets in and hates it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Did you buy the skid steer??? Can't wait to see what happens!

If I were you I would most definitely not get the IVT transmission we had an 8360 R that went to the shop 6 times for transmission faliure and the tractor only had 750 hours on it. Definitely get the power shift you will be glad you did

I run a case 340 with the CVT. We use it to plant and run the cart, it's awesome loading semi's you don't have to play with the clutch.

We have a 8270r and it's great

I think you do need the extra horse power, it's got everything you could need on it and with only 400hrs. It could be used for a lot of things

Talking about hauling grain and road travel- Why do you guys use tractors with grain wagons vs a good size truck (tandem axle @ 22' body)

We run an 8130 with ivt but without the shifter on the steering wheel and we love it. I've also heard that the ils front end are not that good and break easily

Have you looked at a 8345rt because we pull a 16 shank ripper and it is really efficient

Pretty cool tractor. Seems like it would be a good investment.

You should look into articulating tractors I have a 8440 that articulates and I think it works great

Why not no-till and scrap the disk? Most of us in the Mid-Atlantic haven't hooked to anything but a no-till planter in the last twenty years. I don't miss working ground one bit.

That tractor is pretty nice just the same way with are 8370 the steering wheels kind of small I miss it all the time I like the lights

"Power up with Sloan". That's a nice tractor for sure, you would probably get used to the little things before you know it.

Unfortunately you tested the tractor with low throttle. Need to give it a little more throttle and it will respond better. Especially the steering wheel. But as you probably know by now, the throttle should be all the way forward for IVT.

wow you're talking about a 30-foot disc I remember when I was a kid my old man had one of the biggest ones around it was a 24 foot folding things have really changed since the seventies

I don't think that this 8260R will pull more than your 8235R because an IVT transmission is not as efficient as the PowerShift.. on the other hand the IVT is really comfortable to drive.

this is funny, we just recently purchased this vary tractor!

Or perhaps you guys could get one of the 60 series deeres cuz i think that most of them can handle front loaders. The 80 series and most of the 70 series have too long of hoods to put loaders on.

So the reason they say not to use IVT for tillage is because its not a 100% machanical transmission en will use a bit more fuel, compaired to the 8235 which is 100% machanically driven. But if you are planting or using the pto a lot, IVT is Ideal, because you can controll engine speed and forward speed cepretly. (talking from experience with these transmissions). IVT is more fuel efficient on the road though.

seems a nice machine im just a dairy farmer so my tractors only reach 120 horsepower, but i was wondering would you not need more horsepower than that for drawing mowing tilling or what not?

Nice tractor and hefty price on it shop and compare also are you raising crops or puppys?

We run a 26 foot disc on our 7810 with ivt just fine.

cool ride no shake, raddle, and roll that's winner.

8430 better tractor if your into a old school/modern style. good power super easy to use an if its hot out like where I'm from max heat is 120°f that a/c comes in handy! but 8430 is the way to go

Get maybe an 8330 or something in the 83 series or even the 85 series. The 8335r is quite nice and u could make ur 82 into an 8335r with a new computer. But what i would say is go for an 83 series.

personal opinion is you wont notice any difference in hp between the two due to the ivt there is roughly a 30 hp drop and they really lag back when loaded but i would still have ivt as theyre so nice to drive. i run a fendt 718 with vario transmission and wouldnt go back

looks like a 6810 forager in the background :D

is there any websites you can use to find farm land for lease? it doesn't work when you just type it in google

8270R is also Tier 4 Final.Sloans si big enought they might have what you looking for at one their other 18 stores

Hi I have JD 7260R with autopower for silage trailer and manure tank and 7270R with e23 for field hard work. John Deere tractors are best.

My question is if bought a smaller disk couldn't you use the 4640 for disking instead of buying a whole new tractor

why do those 8R tractors not have a food gas paddle?

Yeah, stick with JD. My Uncle got a T8.365 and it is ok, not as nice on the inside though but a lot cheaper. If yo go a bit bigger you could pull a Horsch Joker then throw a 3pont 16 row planter on the old 8r.

cvt or ivt definitely sap power compared to a powershift. They are nicer in every other way, but they reckon if you're replacing a powershift with IVT you should get an extra 25% more power. so if you had a 200 hp tractor, you should replace it with a 250.

hy.whats the price of a tractor like this?.its awsome.thanks.nice films mate.

For a non-farmer, but yet loves the channel, you mentioned 500hrs is considered new. How many hrs is considered old/warn out? Also, how many hours before you change the oil on a tractor?

Ryan would you consider an articulated model the man I help and farms my grandparents. they use them I have drove everything from an 8650 to a 8870 and now they have newer ones can't remember model number they are all jd they are nice when chisel plowing or using a 2310 field finisher and brillion packer on back or disk with same packer on the back just an idea of tractor what ever you do will be cool keep up the good videos

+how farm works its a bad deere you need a other 8r or a 7310R with gas pedal that easier and safer. thats my advice

can you tell me how to find tractor values on a website like KBB or Edmunds???? please leave a reply if you read this comment

Im guessing they might be buying a bigger chisel and maybe a 12 row planter including the disk?

Are you going to sell 1 or 2 older tractors to buy a new one or keep the old ones

What I've heard about IVT transmison on JD is that they aren't as reliable as the european ones, in terms of dual on the front I would never go with them because it causes a lot more wear on the joints, I would put some 800 tires and double 800 in the back and gget a lot better tracktion, front end suspension is must have

try a case optum ;)

Are you guys still looking at buying another skid steer?

how hard does the disc pull, my father in law runs a 2wd allis 170 HP and pulls a 20 foot disc and an older drag behind that?

Do you want instead of one, or as an extra ?Personaly, I would buy one with +- 300Hp or more, if possible

They've come a long way since the Roll-0-Matic front ends.

cool video thanks guys!!but try a fendt!!:P

I can see the benifits of having a bigger tractor. On the other hand is 30 more hp really gonna make a huge difference. Cause if the 8235 struggles some with a 25ft disk, then 30hpmore would probly do alrighteith it. But I don't think it would handle a 30ft. Maybe try going to the smaller 8300. You would just be in the same predicament as your in now. Just my thoughts. I would think 235 would pull a 25ft disk fine. I've pulled a 28ft landool with a 240 hp massey. And it pulled just fine, in clay soil at that. Maybe you should hook it to a dyno and make sure it's putting out what it's suppose to be.

I have heard you talk about Massey Ferguson how about a video on one of there big tractor. Even if just for fun...

before I would think about buying or getting a second big tractor I would get a 16 row corn planter for the tractor that you have with the price of corn and soybean until grain prices come up again

Does anyone else find it interesting that he posted a video a couple months ago about how much money he could loss on his crops this year. Now he is looking at a like new $250,000 tractor? Just very funny in mind

Nice video

how many acres are you running? where I live in australia you would probably have to own about eight or nine thousand acres of crop to be running two 250hp machines

Jaime might like it too. And She is always a better part of your videos.

Do these types of jd's have regen on them? I have kubota's, and every week or so it regens and takes almost and hour, and burns alot of fuel.

Will the 4640 ever be replaced by an 8r?

Maybe a dumb question, but I've never bought a tractor or implements before. Can you wheel and deal on farm equipment like you do on a car? Or are the prices pretty firm on that kind of stuff?

If you are going to invest in a newer tractor, also invest in the technology to make it more efficient. With the added hp you should be able to run a higher gear and lower rpm to save fuel.

Why can't you guys pull a 30 ft disk with the 235? We pull a 30 ft with our 8130(no front duals, just back)

dose it work better or look better with the duals

he did corn and beans up to last year

Lol there's a new holland dealer right across from the JD dealer

My John Deere 4455 was rated to 150hp but when I dinod it it was 200hp, because John Deere under rates their tractors
