Just Love the sound of 19 litres of Cummins heart stopping torque in that 1150 Versatile, that just makes my day.

The look on ur granddad face was priceless when he was looking at the hitch

Lmao the look on your grandpas face when that hitch broke was priceless

Hello John, that was another great video! You are absolutely right about the ground in Rantoul. It takes some power and some good adjusting. I really appreciate all the hard work you guys are putting in to the equipment. Be safe and hope to meet you guys there.

Awesome job on the tractors and plows. Thank you for wearing the ear protection.

Those tractors sound mean. Love seeing your grandpa out there having fun, unless he keeps breaking stuff. Lol. Look forward to seeing videos of Rantoul

Anyone else click the like button before even watching the video? Great stuff as always. I absolutely love that "5015" Detroit powered JD, and I really wish I could attend the Rantoul show and see these things in person. One day I'll have to drive up from Texas and attend myself. What terrible luck on the IH plow. I felt the frustration when it broke the second time all the way down here! One small suggestion/question. I'd love it if you'd spend a few more seconds going over the controls and cabs/operator stations on these machines in some of your videos. Biggest machine I've ever operated was a 4020, so I'm not familiar with most of the controls, features and different options of the wide variety of equipment y'all own.

I've never seen a steering setup like the one with the cylinders . We had a IH 6 - 16 & a IH 7 - 16 & we never had any trouble with them , we usually were plowing ground going from a field that had been in hayed for several years about 6 to 7 inches deep ,, but we weren't trying to use a tractor with a big Detroit engine either . Great & informative video .

I just found your channel and really enjoy it. so nice to see what can do with old tractors to make them super! Great if you have the money and the time to do this and show the world.

Really enjoyed the video awesome tractors you have. I always enjoy plowing. Growing up we had Massey Ferguson's . The MF 285 pulled 4.16's bottom plow. That was my favorite tractor to plow and work with, it had a much smoother ride then the smaller tractors that we had , a 275, 265 ,255 MF. Today I have a Massey Ferguson 3070 92hp it pulls a 4.16s bottom plow and has a ride very smooth, and a John Deere 5320 64hp pulls 3.16's bottom plow. and a IMT 539 39hp it pulls a 2.14's bottom plow. My son has a John Deere 6120M 120hp and a JD 1070 he did have a JD 5400 wished he kept it was a really good tractor. I am a Massey Ferguson person and a John Deere person.

Excited to see these in a few weeks!

When Grandpa is behind the wheel, we don't go easy on the steel!

Love the sound of that Detroit!👍👍👨‍🌾👨‍🌾👨‍🌾👨‍🌾👨‍🌾

ENJOYED THIS ,,;LOVE THEM TRACTORS....

Great Video. Love Your Versatile 1150.

Really good looking tractors

Awesome 😎 video keep them coming 💪💪💪💥💥💥🍺🍺🍺

I love those tractors!!

I had to lol when the plow broke completely off.... especially after the tongue breaking, I can relate trust me! I dont get mad anymore, I just laugh and move on. Love the JD repowers!

Another awesome video! Sorry about the frustrations with the plow, but glad that didn't ruin your plans for the show.

Tks.....love the tractors....I had a 502o turboed, had a pyromater on it.... If I was rich,..I would of bought a house with a 10 acre yard and put a belly mower on it ,and say I owned the biggest yard tractor....loved it....

Great video thank you love the plowing videos

Very nice tractors

Nice to see someone that knows how to drive an on-land hitch plow!

Mike Less is just smiling thinking that’s the power of the Versatile. The re powers sound strong. I’m looking forward to seeing and hearing them in person in 11days. We’ll miss the Big Bud and WA, what about the 8020? Should be an awesome show, see ya there! Farmer Ken

Love the 5020

Hola John saludos desde Argentina geniales tus tractores bastante instructivos tus videos saludos para el abuelo 👍👍👍

I will be happy to see a new videos ❤️ my friend

Growing up with John Deere, the Versatile part of this video is exactly what I imagine farming with red would be like 😂😂

I am an International man since birth, and still am with my IHC-9400i but those John Deere's re-powered with Detroit's is awesome as hell. My next door neighbors have his and her early model John Deere row tractors for shows with the original JD putt-putt motors but neither of them can do the work of a re-powered JD with Detroit power. The K-Cummins in that International I have no experience with as I've never driven a truck with one installed but it sounds bad-ass. It's just sad that the red plow broke twice with very little effort. Cheap steel. Hook the Versatile up to one of those green plows and see if it can break those lol.

Awesome ❤

Old school way is to put grease on the moldboards. Try using cheap spray paint. It really holds up good and they will shine up easier. Just food for thought 👍👍

great vid

Man I likes the video! Nice Deere’s

Thank You

Well you've stumped me with windshield washer fluid! I've always watered the tyres with water, nothing more or nothing less.

Plow lays don't last long at those speeds in the ground! lol Great video!!!

the 5020-6030 drivetrains always amaze when they take on at least 3 times rated hp.

Love the sound of the v12. Look forward to seeing it at Rantoul. I’d like to meet you there, too. You are doing some cool work and appreciate what you do.

Alt can be ran off the rear acc pulley speaking as an old Detroit tech above 185 water temp will start to cook the o rings between the head and block

Hoo muy bien... Excelente máquina...desde Oaxaca mexico

That 1150 is just damn awesome. I love that body style of versatiles, they are definitely more modern looking than the old 895-835s.

A real bummer on breaking,. But.... When you have real Horsepower and you Hook Up and that's the drag strip or the farm strip. The weak links always show. Very nice collection,. Truthfully I would hate to have to feed those green machines, I feel the pain at the pump with a measly 58 hp. 4720 4wd It doesn't have the wonderful sound yours does, but it does whatever I ask it to effortlessly.(totally different game) Have enjoyed the vids.

Nice 12v71 !

You should get a JD 12 bottom plow

Murphy is always hiding behind every bush and clot of dirt!

Sorry I haven't kept up on this. 12v71 = 375 hp, single turbo = 525. Twin turbos = 750. I am guess you have no turbochargers on the 4520. What most people don't know is that the 45/4620s had a very robust drive train, nearly as stout as a 5020. You had to absolutely be an Anvilator to tear one up. No doubt, the Detroits produce enough power to get the job done and you could likely pull the 12 bottom with the 4520 and shorten the life. For the record, 250 gallons of water weighs 2,075 lbs. Washer fluid mixes well with water so should be the same weight per gallon.

the 4520 was the only plow that really did a great job plowing!!

First time seeing your stuff. Impressive to see these old beasts getting the job done. But wow, 10 minutes on any of those green ones and you'd be deaf, despite the hearing protection.

Wow, when it rains it pours

Let it hammer!

To rephrase the steering you have to turn hard to the right there is a plunger that hits a stop and will allow oil into the system, then hit the raise at the same time and it will charge the system

The old 5020 has about 6 feet of slack in the steering! LOL!

Love your videos! Quite the site to see that plow break!@?

What can I say… I don’t expect much less out of an international implement.

That red plow was likely made in Wangzhou, China. Certainly likes like high quality Chinese castings!

Sure good to hear those 2 natural and 1 turbo'd 8V-71 running!

I always enjoy your videos, even if it is mostly JD. LOL ( IH red all the way around here). We are not going to make Rantoul this year but definitely plan on it in the future. Just curious, how do you get the rigs there. Are you close enough to drive them or do you truck them?

God I love the sound of a Detroit

Man, I love those 8V & 12V71 powered 5020's! Detroit FTW!😁👍

very good ;;; the 12v71 is set up spot on ,; no smoke and pulls easily , the bar rod seems to be the better option to control the tail wheel ..

Love the sound of a Detroit :)

How well do the transmissions hold up with the repower with more hp?

👍👍

I wish someone would invent a 3 point linkage so that you could transfer the weight to the wheels and save lugging all that wieght around

On the 1150

Dual stack John Deere is called a screaming Jimmy Detroit

Thanks for another great video. How many years have you been working on the farm with Grandpa and Jake?

So i don't know allot about North American plows (know plenty about British ones) but seeing what the 1150 did to that IH plow, whats your opinion on Melroe plows? i see more of them in my area, for a good JD i'll probably have to ship one up from northern US as i'd like to match a good plow for my AC 8550 i just got, he currently has super singles and a D6 blade fully attached so he's good for grip, lol

JD Green get her done!

When are you going to make a new video for us ?

Around 2:45 I thought auto reset trip bottom plows would do just that...auto reset. One did but maybe you have to slow down to get the other to reset?

I’ve always said that these big power houses should be plowing the farmers fields instead of being garage queens. Same for the tractors built for tractor pulls. Should be in the dam fields working the land.

Better get a big Rome Disk instead of the IH plow.

looking good👍do you prefer the hyd steering or the macanical steering?

I’d use a cat skidder to pull

Detroit Powa!

What is your mix of washer fluid for tires? Or is is straight washer fluid, need to load up my 8870 for bunker work.

Can you put up a video sometime of how those triples attach interesting I've never seen triple setup like that

Haha. "God damn international plows..."

What size is the FW sitting in the shed? Have you ever used a white plow? Growing up we had 2 of them, they were good

Nothing like the sound of a Detroit.

And that's why I only plow with John Deere plows lol whether it's 2 bottoms or 10 I only pull jd plows lol

Can I ask why you use a moldboard plow , vs a tandem disk or chisel plow . Chisel plow uses abt 5 hp per ft. , Tandem disk 7 or 8 . Seems like you are using a lot of fuel to cover the ground

Lol, if you didn't have bad luck, you wouldn't have luck at all! Lol

I need to see that JOHN DEERE 2730 TRACTOR.....

Now its time for some FISHIN'

Git r done

It’s red that’s why

Why did some deeres have the boxed in platform? A guy I worked for had a 5010 which did not have that...

I have never heard of anyone using windshield washer fluid to put in the tires to add weight, do you not have access to Calcium chloride?

Got the ol Buzzin' Dozen dialed in...

Sorry you had so much trouble breaking the plow with the Versatile. It's the relentless and overwhelming power of the Cummins 1150....

What did you do to beef up the rearend?

Was that metal fatigue or was it a weak spot with the plough I bet you enter tractor pulling competition

Are those 18s or 20s?

I'd leave those red plows in the corner of the shed orsell em

That looks like the same hitch that is on my 496 disk

Rev limiter? Whats a rev limiter?

needs the fone with the GPS'er thingie thruned on and like.... MPH in 4th ... MPH in 5th ..... ???? woah... that thing purssss mean'ly ;) lol 11:03
