Good day Gary. Nice video 👍🏻

Nothing better than a hand clutch

Good evening Gary. Nice old tractors 🚜

you have good machines 🍻

Few comments from Iowa boy by new Hampton Iowa I have a 630 and about to put model 45 loader Its the best because it was my grandfather I like hand clutch too

Great Intro Gals ! Nice Tractors Gary Love seeing the tried and true tractors Thanks for sharing Have a great week ! Phil PFON

I like the sound of a JD popper. You know one when you hear it. lol Have a good week Gary! See ya!

In passing I loaded, and unloaded at Associated Milk Producers in Arlington. I still load at Deka in Olwien occasionally.

You're pronouncing Massey Ferguson all wrong! Haha good video, Gary. Those are very nice units. After being around the 720 on the syrup farm for several years, it's sad to see it retired. I've seen those narrow front end John Deeres do things I would never attempt. Great video!

Hi Gary….This is Garry…. lol….tractor talk awesome! Watching with great interest because Mrs. Betty and I will be buying a gently used tractor soon…John Deere, maybe!

Good afternoon Gary

a oval muffler on 20 series ? i thought they only came out on 30 series. the oval mufflers are quieter than the round.

Nice pair of 620 s there sir . Like you i was raised on my uncles dairy farm . I was operating JD As when i was 7 yrs old . I hrew up using hand clutches . My uncle had a 600 acres dairy farm n we used 2 JD 4020 s n 3 JD As . Yhe hired guy taught me how to back up a 4 wheel jay wagon backwards up the barn bridge to the top of the barn . Our hay eagons vould hold 165 bales loaded with a baler thrower . The one A had a Chelsea power steering but that tractor was usually hooked on the haybine or manure spreader ,so i had to use the yellow sided A to haul wagons back n forth from the fields . Anyways i pulled the wagon straight away from the barn ramp ,then put in reverse n he told me to throttle up the engine m shove that clutch in n use those brakes to whip that front end back n forth while backing the wagon up the hill . I want to tell you it took me quite a cew times umtil i stopped pulling the clutch out n started using those brakes to steer that tractor. I was 12 yrs old n by the endof the summer i could back yhem right into the barn up to the hay elevator on the first try! My uncle n all my cousins were quite impressed that i vould handle that JDA so well around the farm n in tight quarters . I wouldn't trade my childhood to live any other kind of life . My mother s whole gamily were all farmers n worked n lived for weeks at time ony 3 different uncles fatms . They all hadJohm Deere tractors n equipment n dairy farms . It eas greatchildhood filled with manyfond memories of farming n milking cows ,which i hated. 18:06 18:06 18:06

Wonderful video

I wouldn’t be able to get rid of them either Gary, I love seeing your 520’s, thanks for the history on them 👍🏻. I think you forgot to put your John Deere cap on for this one😉😂. Great video 👍🏻. Have a great week 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

The original zero-turn...

"Nothing runs like a Deere" Nice old iron you got there! 🚜 We used to run Ford 5000s on our farm growing up in Virginia...they were 15 years old when we got them....probably still pulling a 4 bottom plow somewhere....30+ years later. 💪

As most people know on here, I love the old tractors. The sound of the old John Deere tractors is awesome. Boy, they sure are in great shape. I can tell they were never abused. There is just something about the old stuff, if they could talk eh! Thanks for sharing

Always enjoy when you get the 520s out. Those are some real nice tractors, and even better that they were your dad's.

My son is Robert Dougham from Pheasant Lane Farm he told me about your video's and I really enjoy watching them , he talks about you a lot . Nice meeting you

I have a 1954 John Deere 50

I also have 2 1958 JD 520's and between me and my brothers and brothers in law, have a total of 8 520's. Was wondering what the serial numbers of yours are as I bought one of mine in Iowa. Your tractors look sharp.

Nice except for the hubs

JD holds resale. Dad favored JD spreaders, tillage equipment, and elevators for durability. I knew a insurance adjuster. He would tell stories I don't care dwell on. Thanks Gary.

Thanks Gary for the Story about your friend it is important for us to realize that a tractor is not a toy. Those JD tractors are awesome. Thanks for the video😁👍🚜💨

Nice looking pair of Ol' John Deere 520s. All good reasons for them. Yep I agree with you, the narrow front end can be very dangerous in so many ways but, man they're great for maneuvering around in tight areas. Good info on the 520s at the end. Thanks for taking time to share.

Awesome video Mr Gary !! I do love those 520"s , loved the back story!! I lost a bet one time in my younger days when I"knew it" all🤦🤦 Never knew they made a 320 or 330 until that day🤣🤣🤣🤣 Those tricycles can really be tricky, I admire you and your dad for using the loader with them, that takes skills😁 Thank you very much for the insight and I believe it or not since the ripe age of 8 I was a Deere man, sold the last A when I got the 1086🤦 Thank you for bringing us along!!

Beautiful tractors, lots of memories on those two tractors. The only I bad thing about 520 series was where they placed the steering wheel...right smack dab in the way. I was always banging my knees on the steering wheel. I did prefer the 630 we had, to for more comfortable, knee safe driving.

You have to respect these tractor are they will get you i grew up with John Deere to nothing better

Top 3 reasons. Resale, resale, resale.

Hi Gary. Those are a pair of very nice 520s. As a die hard John Deere guy I have no objections to your reasoning for keeping them around. We used my Grandpa's 620 as a sawmill loader tractor for years doing things the loader was never designed to do. Thanks for the shout out. I didn't get around to making a video on what we need to fix on the 40 crawler this weekend but I should get to it some time this week.

The number 1 reason is green paint 😂just kidding I like all tractors

We do not see many tractors with narrow front ends over here and the ones I have seen have been imported over recent years. Your John Deere tractors are in fantastic condition. This is a great video and it is good to know the history and the details about your John Deere tractors, thanks

I prefer the narrow fronts myself, but I am not a fan of the hand clutch !! I didn't realize you had TWO 520's Gary. Sooooo cool too because they were your Dad's. Tractor accidents have no age barrier, young OR old. Hey...caught ya talkin' about me and the Much Older Brother....LOL Btw Gary, the girls did a great job leading in and out !! Fun stuff.

Yeah I couldn't imagine using a FEL with the tricycle gear. Still beautiful tractors, Gary. Thanks for sharing, man :)

They don’t make them like that anymore. Simple machine and durable. Made out of REAL iron . Thanks Gary for sharing, enjoyed watching! My favorite tractor you have is the 2520 you have .

Anymore, it's the compact tractors that are squishing people around here.. they can't handle the sidehills

I agree with your reasons Gary, I love them old 2 cylinder tractors! Curious since they are the same year why the loader 520 doesn’t have the Deere medallion on the nose? That 50 would have been a good one to keep. You mentioned 6030, I had a 5020 that was close but not as good as the 6030. Enjoyed the video.....and the old iron.

Beautiful tractors Gary. When I was a 18 yr old kid, I ran a 80 JD out in Montana, what a animal. I'm a Red guy but not color blind, I like all the old stuff. There's a Green one on my bucket list, AW JD. Thanks for the history of those old girls....Was kind of hoping you would pull out the 2520 too...Thanks Gary.....

How's she goin'? Great video Gary!! I can certainly understand why you like the John Deere so much. A lot of attachment and memories there for sure. These two 520's are collector's items for sure. Thanks for sharing and take care!!!

You have 530 mufflers on them?

Paint the front hubs yellow like they belong

Probably the biggest reason for John Deere's success was they were the only tractor company that didn't repossess tractors during the Great Depression when farmers struggled to keep their farms going. Deere corporately decided to let farmers keep the tractors if they couldn't keep up with their payments knowing that someday the economy would recover. When it did, Deere had the farmers resume their payments. The old Deeres were great tractors, but so were a good many of the other brands. Deere just went that extra mile for the farmers and the farmers of that generation didn't forget it.

Great video, Gary! Even though I bleed Kubota orange, John Deere holds a special place for me, as that is what my grandfather used on his dairy farm. I was too young to remember exactly what happened to all that equipment when the farm was sold, but there's a big part of me that wishes it had stayed in the family. 👍

Love your old tractors Gary it keeps the memories alive, and you keep them in great shape.
