I plowed with a similar outfit this past Spring in NE IL with my brother. It was easily pulling an IHC 4-16s plow. What a brute! It sure was fun operating something so powerful. Enjoy your vintage equipment.

I spent the summer of 1972 running 830's in the wheat fields of northern Oklahoma for my grandfather. I was 14 years old and we ran two, three or four 830's in the same field.

Just found this video, love that black soil, good for corn! Those big 2 cyl diesels never caught on around here. Plenty of the gas row crops though. Can recall going to the big sale barns in Sikeston Mo back in the late 60s. there would be dozens of the old 80 s through 830s on the block, cheap. The big planters in the south were updating their fleets with new generation power. Any tractor that sold for over $500. ( I think) had a ride and drive guarantee, if not what you thought, don't accept it. They would run it through the sale again later. Tried to get Dad to buy one, but he was only there for the show! Now they bring too much for a play toy. There also would be the little N series Fords there by the ( seems ) hundreds! Big trucks would have then stacked piggy back so as to get as many as possible on the trailers. Take the steering wheel off and had a bracket there to let the front of the next tractor tie on to! Small lot buyers would buy them for small livestock farmers, they could put one in the bed of a standard pickup truck to haul home. Put on an after market loader and 3 pt blade on the back for cleaning feed lot and dairy barns. Those would average around $1,000. if they ran. It was a common practice then to put in an inexpensive over haul kit and they were good as new.

Spent a lot of time on an 820 just like that, but farmed in dryland Montana, I'm admiring the straight lines, maybe following the gps planter... My dad always said you get more acres done in a crooked line...

Still are for being a 60 year old two cylinder. Saw a rebuilt 830 pull a 25,000 pound sled at the county fair a few years back. I'd almost recon a small farm could _easily_ prosper with one as it's main tillage tractor. Edit: only downsides would be expense of replacing parts and the lack of Modcons. As a kid who grew up picking rocks with a jd 70 gas I could easily go without the modcons.

John deere always had the problem of one gear being to high and the lower gear being to low... They have always needed that gear in the middle... For example my 4450... There is nothing between A3 and A4... There were other makes that did have that gear in the middle and it made a huge difference... But I am a jd fan... This is a nice running 830...

I spent parts of the summers of 1968-69 driving an 820 for a relative of mine. I always wondered what was the difference between the 820 & 830? Did the 830 maybe have a few more horses than the 820?

@smidtwarner 3 жыл бұрын

Probably more HP, but I am guessing same improvements that other in 30 series had over the 20 series. The one I do know about is the steering. (I probably am not using the correct technical terms.) The steering on 20 series was power assisted steering. The rod that the steering wheel is mounted goes all the way to the front of the tractor to the top of the front wheels pedestal. In the 30 series this rod was no longer needed. The steering was a servo-style hydraulic steering. The steering wheel was tipped at a more comfortable angle and it turned a servo motor. A pair of hydraulic lines went from the servo motor to a hydraulic cylinder that actually turned the front wheels. The 30 series steering laid the foundation for the same steering that the following generation tractors used. I grew up on a 630 & 3020. For the 620 power steering to really be smooth, the engine rpms had to be high. If the front wheels hit a rut, you could feel some backlash in the steering wheel. The 3020 steering worked smoothly at all engine rpms. It took less effort to turn the 3020 steering wheel and there was no backlash.

@@smidtwarner Thanks for your reply. I was not aware of the changes you mentioned and that could be the case. Whether the dash boards on these tractors or some other cosmetic changes were made I cannot say but I wouldn't think that would be enough to change the model number, but who knows? I never put any time in on an 830 but I know both of them were really good tractors.

@kenparamor2937 2 жыл бұрын

There are two versions of the 820.The early ones had a green dash and were nearly identical to the model 80. The later version had a black dash and the same hp as the 830. The sheet metal was updated and hydrostatic steering were the main differences between the 830 and the black dash 820. Horsepower was boosted by about 7 I believe over the 80 and the green dash 820.
