Buying and Fixing John Deere 4020

Bought a 1966 4020 diesel to use for disking a new farm this spring.

The 4020 Diesel has a six-cylinder engine tested at 84 drawbar and 91 PTO horsepower. The 4020 is significant for its great popularity; over 184, 000 units were built. It was the most popular tractor of its time.

The Mann’s are some stand up guys. Really helped you get started. Can’t go wrong with the old 4020, affordable, big enough for most tasks, reliable as a hammer, plus the utility of the loader. That was a smart choice. Best of luck on your first growing season!!

Those 4020s sound great with a straight pipe with the plow in the ground

Love the fact that you’re farming with old school equipment!! The hydraulic cylinder on the disc is on backwards. The moving arm (Ram) should be attached to the axle and the base of the cylinder (that hoses are attached to) should be connected to the frame. You can swap the hoses around on the cylinder to make it work. Then the hose shouldn’t be too short.

nothing beats, friendly, helpful, caring, selfless, giving neighbors that will do anything to help fellow farmers that are new and help them get started, this goes for anything really. I have noticed the americans and canadians have a real strong bond with fellow farmers and stay united as one and band together to help out when needed!

Hey Spencer, just stumbled onto your channel! Great to see young folks starting out on a farm. I've got a daughter and son-in-law that live up in Charles City and have always admired the Iowa farm land. Hope it goes well! Looking forward to more videos along the way.😊

Can't go wrong with a good ol 4020. Grew up on 4010/4020s 4430/4440 and some 856/1486 internationals all solid tractors that I love

[rothfarms]

[paulprigge]

You kept your money together. Really good deal on that Tractor. So many memories thanks for the video

[spadezzz]

I’m digging this channel and I just found it keep the small farming content up there are lots of younger guys like myself wanting to get into this sort of stuff and having someone to learn with on the way would be nice

[joelknierim]

Nice purchase. Blessings on your new farm endeavors!

[waterskiingfool]

Nice setup. The 4020 is a great tractor

[TWLML]

I like this content it reminds me of when I used to farm with my grandpa and my great grandpa back in the late 90s early 2000s

Congrats on buying a farm! Good to see your dad helping out. Must have had a full recovery ❤️‍🩹 Farming is becoming a family business, good luck to you all!! 🤠

[robervin]

I absolutely love your voice over. And I love you shoutout Josie we love you. Oh Spencer how are you gonna transport your corn and beans if grant has the trucks 👀 And yes share the loan stuff I’m curious

[jerredwayne]

4020 has to be one of the greatest tractors ever built

[TDBoiler]

This is sweet! I know I’m late but this is awesome!

[jefffunkhouser]

I still use my 4010 but we put the 4020 eing in about 30 years ago on my farm , all I mainly use it for cut hay and moved wagon around

[colonialroofingofnorthcaro]

The beginning farmer loan process would be awesome, you hear about them but never find out how to get started or what ducks you need to have in order as well, get it done so can hopefully get started on my, we appreciate it brother, and God bless your near farmland in Jesus name

Very glad to see your enthusiasm of getting into farming, but I would be looking at purchasing something like a 4640 for your second tractor rather than a 4020. Not bashing on you at all and am happy to see the togetherness of the Mann family, but you really need to look at upsizing your horse power for future gain.
