Grew up on a 4020 with a 5 bottom 16" plows - pump turned up and she would pull like champ - fire cone about 8" to 10" out the stack - turn the stack end cherry red at night and never get the engine hot. Amazing pieces of engineering. These were when JD did it right. I am not a fan of all the computerized - no one is allowed to do any mechanics work on our equipment unless they are authorized and have all our secret codes to reprogram the tractor to accept new parts etc. Maybe it is just me - I am a boomer and definitely not a millennial. One day these computers will fail or grid will go down and how will this present generation cope? WHAT?! no cell signal - no gps - they won't even be able to get home if they are more than 5 miles from their house! I find it sad. Thanks for a great video!
He men. I grew up plowing with an 806 Farmall 5 bottom Simi mount plow. Tork amplifier about 5miles an hour. In 74 we got a new 4030 with a cab. I swear that 806 would out pull it. Love watching you all plowing
My first tractor was a 1968 5020 row crop standard. Dad had a 1970 wheat land special. We pulled a 17 ft off set disc and 18 ft Chisel. We have some heavy black soil and sandy loam. We had plenty of power in the heavy soil. Run turbos on both tractors.
