We have 2 4020's and a 3020. It's crazy how they are comfortable to operate and still relevant yet today.

[scottschaeffer]

Just to re-affirm, the JD 4020 is my all time favorite tractor, and I've run lots of models. Versatile, comfortable, power beyond it's size, and just plain old good looking!

I love these videos! My all-time favorite tractor is the 4020 Powershift. I used it working on the farm as a kid. The shifting, steering and brakes were like driving a car - smooth as butter.

My dad was in the group of you g engineers that Merlin Hansen had working to develop the New Generation tractors. Most of those design engineers grew up on farms in Illinois, Montana, Iowa, Colorado and Oklahoma. Their practical knowledge of farming what was needed are the reason why these tractors revolutionized agriculture

The series that put John Deere over the top..

[davidpidgeon]

I had most of these models. The 4020 PS was the greatest tractor I ever had. .

JD 4020, 4320, 4620, 6030.
IH 806, 1206, 856, 1026, 1256, 1456.
Best generation of tractors ever built. Still revelent, still getting it done today. Iconic/Beautiful/Timeless. Highly sought after by collectors.

Was always curious what the story was behind Deere going from the two-cylinders to the new generation tractors. Thanks for another video!

[jerrydavis]

I used to operate a 4020 with loader and a 4320. Best series of tractors ever built by any manufacturer!!

[garyvornhagen]

I grew up on two cylinders, great tractors. The new generation tractors were leaders in the field. Nothing Runs Like A Deere

I've used a 3010 gas with synchro range, 3020 diesel with synchro range, but the 1967 JD 4020 Diesel with power shift transmission was a tractor I loved the most. The 3010 had a narrow front and we used a mounted John Deere corn picker on it, but that's when I was real young and my job was riding in the wagon when we had a sheller on the mounted picker.

[jasonbeecher]

Wonderful video. We have 15 John deere tractors here on our family farm. 17 if you want to count garden tractors. 3 4020s, 2 4440s, my favorite

Thank you Keep doing the Lord's Love the videos

[richwood]

Great information about the Waterloo grocery store, I never knew that story.

[tomrichter]

I am a city kid who had a chance to spend a few weeks on my cousins farm each summer. They had just bought a new 3010 that they were very proud of and that I thoughtwas very cool and impressive looking. Not sure why but that tractor was easy and even fun for this city slicker to operate. I have very fond memories of those days

my dad bought a 1961 3010 diesel row crop to replace his 630 row crop, as well a 1964 John Deere 4020 standard, wheatland. Still have both of them. 2 of my favorite tractors on the farm !!

[rollingpasturesfarm]

my first tractor JD 2510 diesel, loved it, it never failed doing what i asked of it

[roha]

I own 2 3020s one gas other diesel, but the world's greatest 100hp tractor is my 4020 diesel w/synchro shift. Built to last 3 generations of family farmers.

[andyadams]

My dad bought a 3010 in, I think 1962. We also had a 520. Both were great tractors. I had a lot of time on both.

[donbenson]

Had a Mod A and 3010 Ran neighbor's 730 and 4020 once in awhile. Mostly we we Allis Chalmers from WCs Wds, D17, 185 up to a 210 and 7080. The good ole days. Didnt matter what tractor you used it was farming!
