I watched it on Lord Mucks channel and I was impressed at how well it ran after everything smoothed out. Wes, I agree , that old hood should have been much stronger.I got stressed out just watching that hood go on lol.
You have to remember Wes that the ones that complain about your shop are probably watching the new fancy RU-vid shops from other farms that don't really work on much!
If you plan on polyshing the paint on the tractors, you should really give it some clearcoat sealer/quick wax once you get the decals on the hood since its new, to make it more uv resistant . . .
I've got a barn full of John Deere's. I like mine.Any piece of equipment will have issues. Only way to avoid that is keep them in the barn and not use them. Dang fine looking hood btw. And I agree: on equipment the hood being intact IS important because of the harsh environment a tractor operates in.
Wes knows what Dear John tractors are good and which ones to stay away from. Farming is more than just crop stuff you have to a verse business person and have experience in marketing, financial responsibilities and mechanical expertise. Wes you are all of them.
That four row corn planter will get a young (or young at heart) farmer started with no-till/regen-ag. Seeing the fanning mill sitting on top of something in the camera pan around that planter gives an idea: .. it would be a lot of work but getting the old equipment like that mill and Farmall next to it out to farm five acres no-till with the old stuff would be good youtube fodder plus show all the homesteaders you don't need a million dollar tractor to make it work. Compare acres/per hour small kit vs your normal big kit with yield comparisons (use your whole modern process including 'sauce). A few channels have pulled equipment out of fence rows for "will it start" videos and did a bit of farming with it for youtube. Exercising the old equipment will keep it in better shape too, unused engines seize and rubber parts crack.
Haven’t followed Wes’ channel as closely over the last few years (for a multitude of reasons), but it’s kinda nice to see he’s still rockin’ the same fleet of tractors from years past. Notable, everyday units that have left the fleet appear to be the 7410 and perhaps the 7810 (?). Maybe someone can correct me.
@@kieranosullivan02 Shit, really? That sucks. I’ll have to find the video. I remember it having quite a bit of rust damage but I know Wes spent a lot of time and money fixing it up over the years since she was a good loader tractor.
@@happycanayjian1582 yeah it was a while back now. Pretty new tyres and work put in, hay wrapped round the shaft (4wd I think?) and couldn't get it stopped on time. I think the rest of the machines are the same but he's got a new combine recently
You should get yourself a moveable gantry with steel wheels, had one in the old shop worked great when not in use roll it out of the way saved a lot of strain.love your forum keep up the great work
The plastic on 20s and 30s are the same, they are known to break... On the first R series they changed the material. In Europe there are guys who repairs them, they keep the black central plastic and put all green ones on, it costs like 2000 dollars and its from different material so it's supposed to hold in one piece longer. We just done that today :D
The 20 series were known for good issues. My 8120 had a new hood put on it before I bought it and was told the new hoods are better than the originals.
Wes knows exactly where everything is in his building. Before you go and say that he needs dumpsters, or to clean up his farm, how about examining yourselves.
I don’t think ‘bad tractors’ exist anymore in countries where we have choices. Maybe in North Korea they have bad machines, no doubt China has some shitty brands, but the thing is, these folks don’t have any other options. People can say what they want about JD, but not only are they the only brand that is still ‘pure’, they’re also the ones who put dealerships all over the USA so they’d be the most accessible to farmers. Demand and supply is the name of the game
Sorry Wes that was my armchair comment to sell the broken hood to someone who could fix it. $8000 seems highway robbery. Toro put plastic hoods on their 260 series lawn tractors in the 90’s. They became more brittle over time. I think that Toro wanted over $1000 for a new hood. Several years ago someone was making replacement fiberglass hoods for them and selling them on Ebay for a lot less than the Toro hoods.
there is something about that green plastic after a few years it turns to glass ,,i have a john deere riding mower that the hood out of the blue broke into 20 pieces
The new hood looks good! Planting season is right around the corner. I'm hoping corn prices get better. I probably could make more money if I took all the corn and homemade corn liquor to sell...😂😂
John Deere is really not the company it used to be. You would think that Deere would be so embarrassed about the short life span of plastic hoods that they would sell the replacements for cost. Instead it appears that they are using it as an opportunity to maximize their parts revenue, because they know full well that there is no other place to get a Deere hood. Absolutely disgusting.
Lord buck isn't in the description that I can see. I searched Lord buck (spelling unknown) does not come up. I honestly don't know why you guys put up with this site.... worthless. Edit: Lord Muck video called WILL IT START ? - JOHN DEERE 4430 hint was: Closed caption: Lord muk
Now then Wes you have some cool rigs. I was wondering if you could help me see you know lots of things. I'm lookin at buying a 4960 put it in any gear take your foot off the clutch tractor won't move just stalls just wondering what you thought cheers Bill
Deere fucked up deerlee with he 20 series bonnet I had a 8320 and hood cracked horribly in south Africa the hood cost R100000 k I really feel that John Deere should own that crappy hood and replaced it or just go back to the steel hood
