JOHN DEERE 4420 Combine Harvesting Corn 

I bet this farmer's profit margin is a whole lot better. He doesn't have 1.5 million dollars in his field. This is a great tribute to a man who takes care of his equipment.

I paid $500 for a 444 corn head about 13 years ago and it still does the job. These old machines work great and don't cost much as long as you don't have an ungodly amount to do.

love this Old Iron,in its day was a big Combine,now,just a pup,but will most likely be running alot more years after the New Machines have quit,

This reminds me of my youth. Watching old Deere combines run behind my house for hours.

The first New combine that my dad bought was a 1982 4420. That machine always did good in corn. Thanks for the video!

When I first started custom harvesting in NW Iowa, my dad purchased a 4400 model, 2nd combine. Drove it for two years then traded it for a very good used 6620 identical to the other combine we had. Can you get a video with a 6620 utilizing a 643 corn head and 16 foot soybean grain head? Your videos take me back 40+ years. Thanks for the videos

Put in a lot of seat time in those machines. Both 66 and 8820 models. Good combines. My biggest gripe was if the air conditioner quit you were sitting within inches of the engine and hydraulic pumps. No amount of insulation would keep the heat at bay. Glad we didn't have many of those days. I still see those machines at sales go for just a few thousand dollars in good shape. Good machines for the small weekend farmers and you can still get most replacement parts.

These combines were and still are the best built, durable and efficient ever made and the 7720 series for the money!!

The “old girl” is walking right along in some good looking corn 🌽.Great to watch this.Thanks

I love seeing the classic machines in the field still getting it done. We run a John Deere 6600 on our farm

Another piece of history that will be running along time to come . Hope ya keep bringing these hits to us Big Tractor Power !

I always fell in love with old combined using the small corn headers, they bring a charm i cannot describe

Awesome video. I would love to see more like this! I know it’s not “Old Truck Power” but I could definitely sit threw a video on the classic grain haulers like this old Chevy Tandem. I’m probably one of the few that really appreciate them anymore.

Worked on and ran a JD 4400 for a cpl of years. Mostly beans & rye. Great machine. Nothing like 'no-tech'.

There's a channel called "This Farm Wife" and they have a 4 row combine but it's a Gleaner and it still works. Thanks for showing us this older piece of equipment BTP, thumbs up !

Well, at least it has a cabin. When I drove combine in the 70s, it was very dusty, but good visibility.

Awesome video and just another great example of how Nothing Runs Like a Deere ! ! !

Love those JD 6600 and 7720 Titan II’s. 😊

This combine tells you a story of rural small farmer of the past.

Great video! Nice seeing these old farm equipment working! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, That sure brings back memories, We bought a new 4420 the year I graduated..1982 I put many hours in the seat....Thanks for the video.

Máquina top ainda em funcionamento

No auto steer. No yield monitors. No grain cart. No semis. I think this is the route to take. Slow down. Simple life. Less stress.

Good looking 4420. Looks to be taken care of on the outside so I’m sure it was taken care of mechanically also

Good ole combines.

That's a really nice Chevy 10 wheeler sitting in the field. Dad had two of those set up with air bag tandems that were used as road tractors. We pulled mostly 40 ft. Or longer livestock trailers but we also pulled grain trailers occasionally. 2 mpg at best. Miserable hot in the summer time

Awesome video, love seeing these old JD's

Good looking 4420. Thanks for the video.

Man we thought those old girls were brute's little did I know great video thanks

Nice looking equipment, they appear to be well taken care of and maintained.

That is a good looking 4420. Like your videos. I use one just like that still they’re good little combines and I like that they are all mechanical no computer to mess with.

simple easy to work on. love the old school also simpler days for sure back then.

Hope the cobs didn't get you too bad on those shots from behind the machine, that takes a good camera man, way to go.

I love those machines

Great video,many memories there I've got a 4400 & 6600

We had one used it for years dependable dependable dependable!

Bravo , Classic John Deere 4420 combine. Great combine / Great video.

ha ha ha corn cobs flying every where lol

Saw exact model harvesting corn in Santa Clause Indiana. It’s a nice looking old jd for sure

That's my baby !!

Love old Deere's!

Great stream sir love the older stuff

Great old combine and love the truck he is using 🌽🌽🚜🚜👍👍

Your a brave man standing behind that old of a combine. We had a chopper blade from the back fly out and hit the grain cart

Always great works!

I’ve said before my neighbor has one of these combine ❤️👍🏻✨

Old school love it

I have a neighbor that still combines his beans and corn with a 4420.

Very cool! VERY!

Nice video man! There is a nice farm down near us in IL, all IH and its enjoying to whatch them harvest their beans with their 1680 and 1020 head

Nice combine and grain truck great video

I wish manufacturers still made smaller combines like the JD 4420, for the smaller farmers like us.

My favorite video

Still earning its keep!

Nice video. Love seeing this older equipment doing real work. Could you tell me a bit about the crop rotation seen in this video? The corn is really dried down, great for harvesting. I'm surprised to see the soybeans in the background still as green as they are. Here in Michigan we're harvesting beans right now and the corn is still weeks away from being this dry. Are these farmers planting a long season bean? Is this some of the corn planted in early March you've referenced in other videos? Just curious because what I'm seeing doesn't match my local experiences.

Yes I did. Love your videos. Merry Christmas to you and your family

We considered buying a 4420 at an auction when we were replacing the 4400. We decided they were too similar of a machine and decided to step up to a nice 6620. For no more than we farm, it’s plenty if machine with some room to grow with it too if we’re fortunate enough one day.

Oldie-goldie!!! Beatiful machine'.

Thank you.

hes knocking it down 😁

I noticed the operator ran the machine with the auger to the crop side. Did he do that to have less issues with plugging the engine cooling air intake?

A definite olde but a goodie combine.

Small tractor power 💪

So cool

They were very good combine

Very good

My uncle had one awesome combine

Was that your dog or the farmers(at about 6:40)? Nice looking dog and combine. Thanks.

Oh my good

There were not many of those around here when I was growing up in the 1980's. I don't remember ever seeing one in action. Mostly 6620's and 7720's among a host of Gleaners and a few IH rotaries which were starting to get a foothold..

The 4420 is a 4400 with neater decals, a black cab, and a hydraulic auger. I have a 79 4400 that the previous owner added a hydraulic swing out auger. The 79s had the 4420 style rotary screen also. Essentially that combine was made from 1970 - 1986. I wonder if any other Deere combine had that long of a run.

Nice video as always, I do have a question through what size is the field in this video?

Dad and I still use our old 4420.

Nice to see smaller and older combine at work. That Chevy grain-truck looks so cool 😎

My father in law just “upgraded” from the 4400 to this. Pretty cool to see this. 55k? Brand new back then?

I'm not able to drive that fast with my John Deere 4420 how to get that one setup any helpful hints would be appreciated please

Upgraded the header to an oil bath chain? Nice...looks like a 893 era oil bath housing...

May I make a suggestion BTP , Maybe if you made the first comment on your videos it would be easy for us to give you a thumbs 👍 Nice video as usual 👍👍

Nice truck

Thanks, Jason for presenting classic machines like this one. Am I safe to assume this combine has A/C since the windows were closed? Would this combine use any more fuel with it only cutting 4 rows over a much larger machine with a much larger engine?

Great Video. I am surprised the corn head was about a third the price of just the combine. That seems expensive. Just musing.

Funny as it looks like a 1/2 scale model of the 8820 T2 i ran. Bet that wee gem can still earn it's keep tho. Hey Jason do you ever get shot by a cob, lol.

Things have changed. This is tiny by today's standards. To me it looks early 70s in design. Well kept for, the paint and striping still nice looking with good rubber. JD looks good in any field. 🚜👍

Holy crap and I thing when is that dip in the field I thought that was the end of it he was going to stick the header right in the ground as a bit scary might’ve freaked out the driver to still that’s one of my favourite combines to see

are them prices for 1982 or 1986,it would be neat to see how much the price changed in them 4yrs.

The 4400 was a good one to

That's what still run today

With today's corn yields compared to the 80's a guy couldn't make very many passes even with only a four row header before over running the hopper.

Is this combine more similar in size to the 4400 or 6600 combines that preceded it?

Nice young drive tires on the ole girl.

Is the 4420 basically a Case 1060 combine ? I know that when Tenneco decided to focus only on tractors that John Deere bought the Case combine manufacturing. A farm I used to work for had a John Deere combine that when you looked down on the castings of the drivetrain you could see the old abe emblem in it . I think it might have been a 1970s combine, not sure.

My friend has that John Deere

Can you still find parts for this machine??

My friend has a jd 4400 combine how much does this guy combine

I learned quickly as a youngster to watch out for the pieces of cobb flying out the back of the combine---they HURT.

The First Part of the video I was like wow that’s some tall corn , but then I realized you were up on a high spot and that combine wasn’t that tall

Could the4420 handle a six roll header

At 2:34, did any of the cobs hit you? Just curious.

Can you do a video on a 1997 Deere 9500 factory 4x4 with list prices etc.... please

Really enjoy your channel. We are currently harvesting corn in NC with a jd3300 3 row/30” and snapping deer corn with a jd 18 snapper on a 4430 at low rpm with 1000 pto in the same field I Could send some video, if you would like to send your email.
