Making Them 2 cylinders Talk to You

Been to these events, and never understand why ppl hang their toes in the furrow on every pass

Had a ‘47 G , pan seat )earlier model ; ‘41 LA were a dynamic duo ❤

That crawler was to underpowered to be attempting to operate that roto tiller , PERIOD !!!!! It was bouncing from side to side , creating more problems for the seed bed , PERIOD !!!!! Maybe drop a gear and , drop the tiller aswell , PERIOD !!!!!

They were strong pulling tractors easy on fuel. But but but. After sending 12 summers on the old two bangers a G then 720 then 730 the an 830 i am next to being totally deaf from them the 4020 and 5020 werent any better

This is impressive!

My first memory is 60 years ago is sitting on Grandpa's lap steering his "Johnny Pop"!!

Oh yes! Good old days!

That looks like hard plowing dirt

I love the sound of these poppin Johnny tractors. Brings back memories 👍👍

My old man used to say , make it work hard!… Other wise it’s not healthy for the engine but don’t let it lug!

had a 70 Diesel and a 730 Diesel, made a.great team!!

Grew up on small family farm using John Deere power Beginning with an H purchased in 1941 or 1942 followed By a B model, a little later two M's were baught, some Time later two A's were acquired along with a small Diesel tractor, in this time frame 4 crawlers(bulldozers) We're put to work. Only three of these tractors were used When purchased

My surveying instructor at Texas A&M was Dr Bertrand.

Man! I love that sound!! I grew up on a two cylinder John Deere and that love has never left me. My Dad had a JD dealership and was a farmer along with his brother and father,and I learned this before I knew how to ride a bicycle!!

The valve timing on the later two cylinders was a little more like the diesel, … maybe a little more retarded because of a higher lift cam?

Pretty nice!

Ahh he's alright. Practicing is how we learn. I'm happy there are people fixing them up and working with them. Thanks for the video.

That’s music coming out of that model R I would take that R over any modern tractor today that’s for sure! and I would rather plow 50 acres with that R over any modern tractor today!

My first tractor was a jd 60. Love listening to the ol 2 poppers sing. Always wanted to get an r.

Tough going when that 830 bogged out.

A lot of these have too much plow hooked to them. Just because they will pull the plow here doesn't mean that is the correct size plow for the poor tractor trying to pull them. Show some respect. These pieces of American History deserve more than this!!! I wish they could talk to you. Well they are talking to you in their language, you just aren't listening!! Nice video!! THANKS

When farming was farming, now a satellite steers the lushy plushy tractor😁

This nervous ol boy has a lot of bosses watching, his rig must be still be at factory settings, or did he forget his wrenches?

That G should Handel that 3 bottom plow like nothing!....the timing is off!.....and the fuel not right!

Good showing of the John Deere diesels

During the seventies I had a B and two 730 s miss those days.

All amazing super tough tractors, in real hard pulling soil, really noticed that 720 tricycle pulling 4 furrow drag plow,bloody impressive

This John Deere at 3:29 looks like the model I was photographed sitting on in 1948 (very young at the time) and been mad about tractors ever since.

Its running out gas.

Just Love the Sound of a 2 cylinder John Deere Tractor

THAT'S TRAVIS

720 JD pulling 4 bottoms at 5:30 had his hands full! Love to see power and torque challenged. . . . Thanks for posting this interesting video!!! S. Carolina

My dad had a Jonny popper model A That he farmed with do not remember how many acers

When that Oliver with the Detroit rolled up you couldn't even hear the Johnny's popping

A beautiful sound

That Tri-Trac is pretty funny. You'd think it'd give up a lot to tractors with two wheels pulling, but his drive wheel is out of the furrow. Better grip.

Brings back memories.....when Dad or I were plowing the robins would be walking along in the furrow, looking for worms! Ha! Pretty smart birds! The smell of the earth was wonderful!!! What are all those meatballs in golf carts doing? This is a participant sport, not a spectator sport!

Got to love that 3 wheeler it just keep pulling

Drop a gear and give her more gas! I was raised around these old gals and someone wasn't using common sence

The Ford is killing it

The R's are beating the pants off the 720's

You guys are all missing the problem, although Dan Van Hoose is close. Here is a hint: look at the G's rear tires.

Love the sound of the 2 cylinder Poppin Johnnies

I grew up with my family on the farm and my favorite tractor was the 1934 John deere b,

I liked the Ford even being a John deere guy. And that 317 looked like it was working great with that repower!! What was it a Honda V twin maybe? Love it. Iv watched this over and over. I'm ready to do some Plowing at Pa Plow days in Watsontown in 2020!!

If you can pull it in tough ground just pull the last moldboard off and plow with one less.

Wow that is some tough tough soil good try guys.

What a wonderful sight to see all that green two cylinder power turning over the soil.

Some plows not set plus terribly packed soil. It saves money by not working the ground as often, but today's hybrids deal with establishing a root system that plows have trouble penetrating. Is this progress with food quality lacking compared to 50 years ago?
