JOHN DEERE 830 Tractor Planting Corn 

Unless you are Clint Dufour that has no respect for the farmer. Take a look at his dumbass remarks.

Pretty dirty without a cab

Good old days eating dirt .

Ah farmer's lung

When the AC goes you curse the fact that you didn't by an open cab.

Plenty of us have had the experience of wind following you at the same speed you're traveling. Perpetually in a cloud of dust.

Ditto!!!!!!!!!!

Solid tractor. 😁👍

And doing it like it ain't nothing!

I don’t think the software will hold up that long.

bigtractorpower some rat will chew the wrong wire and the tractor is useless until you take it to a dealer and have it pulled apart to find it. Modern tech in ag is pretty awesome but there is no doubt in my mind a 2019 8r will not be running this nice in 50 years

Some may still have that 830 out in the field 50 years from now though.

Dan W I hope so for I want future generations to see and hear what we were so blessed with!

No way. The 4020 and the 4440 were infinitely more useful than this thing

@@MidwestFarmToys 6 cylinders vs 2, the 2 will win for doing the same job and still getting that job done just as fast with less fuel burned. The '30 & '40 series weren't as good as you think they were. A lot of issues until JD came out with the '50 & '55 series.

@@Ham68229 30 series was junk. The 40 series is undeniable

@@MidwestFarmToys 40 series has it's issues, agree to disagree. Besides the 2 cylinder, the '60 series was JD's last best design. The Johnny Poppers are still going strong even today. HP to HP, pound to pound the 2 cylinders did more than the 40's ever could

@@Ham68229 virtually every other farm in the entire country had a 4440 so I guess we must disagree which had more impact on farm productivity

RustyCarnahan doesn’t take a lot of fuel to push an old 2 cylinder along

@@foxacresfarm7595 its not difficult to see when you get to comparing the specs of the old two cylinder diesels against modern engines of equivalent horsepower. Paying special attention to displacement, and rated RPM. The bigger two cylinder Deere's have a rated RPM lower than some new diesels idle. They're also 1/3 or less the displacement, too.

I was just about to say that he’s planting many more acres/gal of fuel.

Greg Gergen more horses to feed with bigger implements make em thiiirsssty 😂

The 720 diesel was our main tractor when I was a kid in the 80s. Miss that ole girl. I'll find her and buy her back if I can find her.

Yessir I'd probably pay that much monthly lol

And I would add modern brakes!

I agree!

Just running my brothers a vs 520. Manual steering. Pull your clutch and lose hydraulics vs power steering and live hydraulics

That was my grandfather's era back then - after growing up in the depression, I could see him refusing to pay for it fearing being $138 short on his death bed.

Very cool.

It sure does have a good sound. I like when it winds up a bit as it picks of speed after turning around.

Thank you for watching.

Very cool memory. Thank you for sharing. I am working on a video showing an evolution of large John Deere tractors from the 830 to the 8400R. The 830 was a monster in its day.

Thank you for watching. In most cases in a compilation video there is just a sample of full video yet to come.

😁👍👍

The John Deere two cylinders are true classics. Thank you for watching.

It was a cool find to share. That classic 830 is cool.

It was a great sight in the field.

👍👍. My pants and shoes end up that way walk around the field filming these tractors.

It’s a cool planting team.

Me too. Finding classics like this is exciting.

This was a rare find and very cool to see in action.

Thank you for watching. The best music is the engine at work. Especially a 60 plus year old two cylinder.

Every decision comes with trade offs, notice how much dust he was working in and after an 8 hour day (minimum) that is not a comfortable seat. When farmers are planting hundreds of acres, old equipment breaks down (that is a 1959 or 1960 tractor), getting seed in the ground at the optimum time is important for final bushels per acre. Modern computerization on planting equipment optimizes how many seeds get in the ground, shuts off rows that would double plant, etc. Seed is not cheap and every penny counts today. Yes, the old equipment can be cost effective, it's up to the Farmer to decide the cost, time in the field, time in constant repairs, his physical health and his bottom line. Many people drive old cars and tolerate repairs, many businesses replace fleet vehicles often because cost analysis states repairs and downtime are more expensive than replacement.

AKWayne S very well said. K was going to answer, but no need, you covered it perfectly 👊

@@kswaynes7569 You have no idea what you're talking about

@@kswaynes7569 what ? 😬

Thank you for watching.

😁👍👍

😁👍👍

The 820 and 830 were big solid running tractors in their day.

Very cool. I grew near Rochester, NY.

@@bigtractorpower I grew up in hamlin 🙂 Most of my family is from and still lives in the rochester area. One side of my family had a large farm in the syracuse area for decades which unfortunately had to shut down, another part of my family has a farm in albion.

I hope you don't like modern John Deere.

Great video

And can work on it when it needs it

Unless he got the seventy year payment plan.

lol

👍👍

It’s a true classic. Back then 8 row was big and a 12 row Deere was not out until the mid 60’s when a mounted hitch for the 5010/5020 frame came out to pull two 60 rows.

The 830 was the big Two Cylinder. Cool tractor for sure.

👍👍

The 50’s to the 70’s was a great time in farm.

The R, 820 and 830 are tough tractors.

Before the mid 1960s cabs were extremely rare. The operator sat out in the sun and dust. It is best to get to see this classic still hard at work.

@@bigtractorpower don't forget fresh air.
