I spent a lot of long days back in the 70’s and 80’s pulling plows,field cultivators and discs with a 7520 and then planting god only knows how many acres of corn using old John Deere 494 four row and 496 six row planters behind my beloved old adjustable wide front 720 diesel or a 4020 power shift. I had a heck of a childhood truly blessed . Growing up I had the experience of working fields and gardens with tractors dating from the late 1930’s to the late 80’s of 3 different makes, Farmall, Allis Chalmers and John Deere with a few ford 8n’s ( almost everyone had one of those) and other oddballs ( at least for our area) thrown into the mix. Learned to pull a hand crank or flywheel to start some, to drive a model T car and to love some and loathe the sight of others lol.

Funny just came across a 4020 for sale that needs work. Been considering getting an older tractor to maintain our land and try planting food plots. Nice to see a 4020 doing some work. Gonna have to see what all this tractor needs for work and may see if I can work out a deal on it. Does have a FEL just need a shredder and maybe a stump puller.

I cried when we lost our 1982 Dodge Ram pickup truck. Ya love these trucks.... they are more than just a truck!!!!

Man I love that first Gen! Let a guy know when you want to sell it… would love to see more videos of the Cummins! Keep up the good work!

Love seeing the old dodge still purring.Your right and being blessed each and everyday and being humble. I wish you and your family much success this summer.

Great job on the video. Nice truck Golddigger. Good luck with it.

Such a cool video. I pretty much did everything on our Cotton/Soybean farm in the late 70’s and 80’s with a 4020. Some of the hardest working days of my life and forever my favorite memories. Thanks for posting.

Every modern day farmer needs to see this video to remind themselves of how it use to be.. I'm glad that you are reliving farming history. That's a great first generation Dodge. Your son will want it some day.

Chase is the centerpiece of the kitty harem. Hopefully you get some great yields. Beans i mean.

me and my brother own a 1985 dodge d350 dually with a 10ft flatbed and it just towed a 20+ ft deckover to a tractor pull an dit as a mopar 360 and a 4 on the flor it drank some fuel on that trip keep the old iron roling 👍

thank you

Enjoy your video! Mike from Missouri

Chase I think you’re runnin your cultivator a tad to deep. And it for sure looked like it was lower in the front. Might help to do a little adjusting. I don’t think I’d turn that old girl up. By the white smoke and warm runnin she might be a little tired. But, you do what you think you need to. 😊

I knew when I saw the thumbnail picture of the 4020 it was gonna be a great video - we like the red Dodge also 👍

And here I am wishing I could farm, and he’s out here playing with great grandpa generational wealth.

I live in Wooster, Ohio Underwood's is no longer but the Dodge Ram Truck dealer is still in business today I have purchased trucks there

If it gets hot, i sure wouldn't turn it up. It will only be worse with more ponies. You could get the radiator cooked and cleaned, which could help a bunch if its getting clogged up. Clean before you turn it up. Too nice of rig to run it in the ground.

I'm pretty sure I heard your Dad snickering, softly, as you were starting one of your planting runs.

Im surprised your not running duals on the ole beast.

Just an observation,,,,,,,,DON"T turn up the fuel on the 7020. You can't keep the thing cool the way it is now,,,,,,,,,,you build a bigger fire you will simply get hotter faster. ALSO you might have a clogged radiator maybe outside and maybe some blocked tubes in the inside. I think you could pull the planter at least 14 mph with the 7020 and you could dump the clutch and peel out with 4 tires....... Just think how much you could cover per hour. Guess I was pulling my 7000 all those years too slow,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, maybe it doesn't matter planting beans that fast..

On 7020 oil cooler could have a slight leak getting on the radiator and blocking the air flow. Good washing while cold could eliminate your getting hot issue. Had that problem with my 20 series tractors in the past ! Yup it b a suggestion only

Slow down we go about 5 mph tops with our kinzie

What tires are you running on that 4020 and size

Did you sell the 730?

Could just remove the outside shanks off each side of the cultivator

need them earplugs

Plant woth the 4320

What's up with the steering? That back-and-forth and be an issue causing higher temperatures and even robbing some power.
